Opening an online store on Kanorio requires no extra plugins or upgrading to a paid plan. Whether you want to sell digital products (e.g., ebooks, design templates, audio, video), physical goods, or offer custom-amount donations and pay-what-you-want options, you can manage everything from a single dashboard.
Even if your products aren't ready or your payment gateway is still under review, you can add products and design your site pages at any time. If a product is priced at $0 (Free), you don't even need to set up a payment gateway; buyers can simply click "Get for free" on your site to claim the content.
All website plans include full store functionality with no limits on the number of products. The main difference lies in the Kanorio platform fee per transaction:
| Comparison | Free | Pro | Business |
|---|---|---|---|
| Kanorio Platform Fee (Based on discounted subtotal + shipping) | 9% | 3% | 0% (No commission) |
| Create products and add Store modules (Product display, pricing plans, product catalog) | Supported (Unlimited products) | Supported (Unlimited products) | Supported (Unlimited products) |
Dedicated product pages (/product/...) and Store homepage (/shop) | Supported | Supported | Supported |
| Cart, checkout upsells, promotions, order notifications, and e-invoice integration | Supported | Supported | Supported |
In addition to the Kanorio platform fee, payment providers charge a "payment processing fee" based on the buyer's chosen payment method. For detailed calculations and deduction methods, please refer to .
Before you apply for payment gateways or set prices, please go to "Site Settings › General" and confirm the two key settings under "Business Location and Currency." These fields operate independently and have different locking rules:
| Setting | Purpose | When is it locked? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business Location | Enter the country/region where your company or personal entity is registered for receiving payments (not the bank account location). The system automatically displays the payment, invoice, and logistics providers available for that market and applies local checkout regulations. | Locked once you apply for any payment account (including "Pending/Under Review" status). | Before applying for payment services, the dashboard will preview providers based on your current location. You will be prompted to confirm your business location upon your first application or setting change. Contact support if you need to change it after it is locked. |
| Store Currency | The sole currency used for product pricing, custom amounts, shipping, promotion thresholds, and checkout (Supports USD, EUR, GBP, JPY, HKD, SGD, KRW, TWD, etc.). | Locked after the first order with an amount greater than $0 is placed ($0 free orders do not lock the currency). | The store currency must be supported by your connected payment provider (e.g., supports multiple currencies; local Taiwan providers like , , , and only support ). (e.g., becomes in the new currency) and updates all product prices, shipping fees, and promotion thresholds accordingly. |
Go to "Site Settings › General" and ensure your "Business Location" and "Site Currency" align with your target market and payment strategy.
Go to "Store › Products". To help you quickly understand how digital and physical products are displayed, new stores come with 4 built-in "Sample" products (2 digital, 2 physical, covering single pricing, multiple plans, and "size × color" variant images):

Understanding the division of responsibility between the platform, service providers, and sellers helps you reach the right support channel when issues arise:
| Role | Responsibilities |
|---|---|
| You (Store Seller) | Product content and pricing, digital file uploads, physical product packaging and shipping, return/refund policies, customer service, handling refund disputes, and tax compliance. |
| Payment/Logistics/Invoice Provider | KYC identity verification, credit card and wallet authorization, transferring funds to your bank account per the payout cycle, tracking shipping status, and uploading e-invoices to tax authorities. |
| Kanorio Platform | Store page rendering, cart and checkout systems, promotion calculation, secure digital content streaming and download protection, automated order notifications, and integrated sales reporting. |
Yes. Payment gateway review does not affect your ability to create products, upload digital files, or arrange store modules on your pages. Before the gateway is enabled, the "Buy" button for paid products will be temporarily locked. For $0 free products, no review is needed, and buyers can claim them immediately.
The list of providers shown in your dashboard is determined by your "Business Location." For example, if your location is set to Taiwan, you will see PAYUNi, SHOPLINE Payments, LINE Pay, JKOPAY, and local convenience store/logistics options, but not Stripe Connect. If set to Hong Kong, Japan, or other regions, you will see Stripe Connect and global custom shipping options.
Physical products require two conditions to be purchasable: First, at least one shipping method must be enabled in "Site Settings › Shipping" (and if a payment gateway is required, it must also be enabled). Second, you must select the applicable shipping methods when editing the product in "Store › Products".
No. Payments go directly into your connected payment provider account (e.g., your Stripe, PAYUNi, SHOPLINE Payments, LINE Pay, or JKOPAY merchant account). The payment provider then disburses funds to your bank account according to their payout schedule.
