Not a shop window.
The business behind it.
Inventory, orders, payments, taxes, shipping, customers, promotions, returns, reporting — usually that's five tools and a spreadsheet. Galactic Core is one place that runs all of it, and connects to the storefront and tools you already use.
Four jobs your store has to do. All four, in one system.
Get paid, however they want to pay.
Cards via Stripe (built in by default), PayPal, gift cards, split payments and promotions — fast checkout, in every currency. Live carrier rates & auto sales tax — soon.
See who buys what — and market to them.
Profiles, purchase history and segments that tell you who your best customers are, what they buy, and when they're at risk of lapsing — synced to your email and SMS tools so campaigns land.
Search that gets what shoppers mean.
On-site search that understands intent instead of returning a dead end, and recommendations — similar, bought-together, what's next, trending, bundles — that lift basket size on their own.
Returns, books and conversations, handled as you sell.
Shoppers lodge and track returns; you approve, refund or issue store credit — and the ledger and stock correct themselves. Real-time customer messaging keeps the conversation inside your store.
Know how the business is actually doing — not just what sold.
A health score, first-party analytics and reports that look forward — all read from the trading your store is already doing.
The figures above are an example, to show how the score reads. Your own is computed from your store's trading.
First-party storefront analytics
Traffic, sources, your conversion funnel and top products — nothing to set up, nothing leaking to a third party. Read over today, 7, 30 or 90 days.
Reports that look forward
Sales overview, profit analysis and daily reports — plus trends and seasonality.
An assistant that reads your actual numbers.
Ask it in plain language and it answers from your live store — revenue and orders by day and channel, your top and stalling products, what's low on stock. It replies with charts as well as prose, because most of these questions are really about a trend. Private to your store.
It also explains how any part of the platform works and points you to the screen to do it on.
Nothing that touches money goes live on its own.
Ask for a gift card, a promotion or a pricing rule and it prepares one from your own data as a draft — you approve it before it reaches a shopper. Approving is its own permission an owner can delegate.
Turn a one-off request into one that keeps working.
"Keep my featured collection showing what's actually selling." "Tell me when stock goes dormant." Each one re-reads your current numbers on a schedule and decides whether anything is worth doing, so what it does changes as the business does.
Asking and acting both draw from one pool of credits that every plan includes and that resets each month — top up any time you want more. Generated imagery runs on its own separate balance.
Decide what shoppers see first — and what it looks like.
Pin it, bury it, or boost it.
Put a product at the top of a given search, push one down, or lift a whole group — for a set period if you want, like a supplier deal ending Sunday or a line you're clearing. Rules reorder what a search already found, so they never surface something the shopper's words didn't match.
You see how each rule is doing: how many searches it matched, and how those converted against your usual rate.
A misspelling still finds the product.
Type "snoboard" and the snowboards still come up, and the rest of the word is suggested as a shopper types — drawn from your own products, brands and categories, so there is no list to maintain.
Product imagery without a photo shoot.
Everything is yours to review before it saves.
Your shop floor, your team, your rules.
Bring your own provider for any capability.
Automate your store with no-code recipes, and choose who handles each part of it — email, SMS, marketing, tax, shipping rates, sales channels, payments or shopper sign-in. What's built in stays the default until you switch.
Or run it entirely yourself.
Run your own service outside the platform and drive Galactic Core from it. Same outcome as Extensions — connect anything to your commerce engine — differing only in how much the platform does for you.
The same store, on the shop floor.
Ring a sale through at the counter and it lands in the same catalog, the same customer record and the same books as an online order. One stock figure, whichever way it sold.
Sell in person too
Build a cart and check out at the counter — cash, card and split payments, with thermal or PDF receipts and full transaction history.
Track stock your way
Count by quantity, or track every unit individually by barcode with serial numbers. Import a catalog by spreadsheet and have the messy rows reconciled for you.
A team with the right keys
Invite staff across five roles — owner, admin, manager, cashier, staff — with granular permissions and an activity log of who did what.
Your data, on request
The owner can download a full copy of the store’s data whenever they want it.
The platform grows with the business, not against it.
One store today, many sellers tomorrow.
Grow from a single store into a multi-seller marketplace on the same platform — one storefront, many sellers, a single checkout that pays each merchant automatically.
Sell to businesses, on terms.
A buyer requests a quote, you price it their way, they place an order, and you invoice on net terms against their credit limit. Wholesale is a capability of a store, so the same business sells wholesale and retail side by side.
No storefront yet? Describe it.
Describe the store you want and get a working storefront — wired to your catalog, checkout, and payments out of the box.
