About

Hi, I'm John

I've been building this e-commerce platform for several years and I'm now going full-time on my software company, Such Software. Such Shop is one of our demo sites — it sells real stickers, takes real money (in dollars or real money), and runs on the exact same multi-tenant platform we're getting ready to onboard clients onto.

The point of this page isn't a full bio, that's at jwinterm.com and such.software/about. The point is to put the shop in context.

What "Such Shop" actually is

A working storefront that exercises the platform end-to-end:

• Multi-tenant architecture — the same Next.js deployment also serves other tenant domains, each with isolated catalogs, themes, and payouts.
• Crypto-native checkout — Bitcoin and Litecoin via BTCPay Server, Monero (XMR) and Wownero (WOW) via xmrcheckout and our fork wowcheckout, and Grin with our BTCPay plugin, alongside the usual Stripe card / Apple Pay / Google Pay flow. Funds settle directly to per-tenant wallets, not pooled.
• Print-on-demand integrations — allowing tenants to setup merch from their dashboard on their site
• And here we have a sticker-specific catalog because stickers are life (more on that in the blog).

What I'm doing here

Three things:

1. Selling stickers and shop merch I like. 2. Pressure-testing the platform on a real shop with real customers before clients use it. 3. Writing about the build — the Grin plugin post and the Wownero fork post are technical write-ups of two of the more involved pieces.

If you're curious about the platform itself or want to run a shop on it, say hi at such.software.
