Build the Store of your dream!

There are no limits on how a Vendio Store can look like, and it's no rocket science to make it look exactly as you dreamed of. In fact, writing custom store templates is like writing any HTML page, with a bit of extra salt and pepper :-)

Get Started

How To Build Your Own Template
The Store Templates are an absolutely unique offer on the market: sellers can fully customize the look and feel of their store: they can organize their store by creating any number of pages, with the design and layout they like. There are no limitations about what the stores can look and behave like. Vendio offers a selection of highly customizable, in-house made templates to choose from, as well as the availability to create and upload a 100% custom made template. Moreover, sellers can choose to have their store reliably hosted by Vendio, or to install their store on any web hosting sytem they prefer.

Template Designers

Template designers can partner with Vendio to create and publish their templates within the Vendio system. Their templates will be available to all users, along with those created by the Vendio designers.

The Stores API is a standalone interface over the seller's store data, that can be used with any store front end (such as an online store, a desktop widget or a mobile application). The API uses industry standard XML and HTTP technologies to enable any type of application to retrieve and display the store data.

The Really Simple Templates language (RST) is a powerful, yet extremely simple markup language that enables sellers to instantly integrate their store data in their store templates. The language was designed with simplicity in mind and it's light and intuitive, so that any template designer can start writing a Vendio Stores template without any prior knowledge or programming skills.
