Building an e-commerce site on your own is not easy. You need a strong visual identity, clear product storytelling, clean data structures for inventory, and a checkout flow you can trust. Atoms gives you the space to design your own brand, and the backend is fully customizable based on your business. Atoms won’t limit your imagination. You can also build internal tools around your business — not just a storefront, but the whole operating stack.
This guide walks through the end-to-end flow of building a commerce site on Atoms. Along the way, AI can help generate product descriptions, visual assets, database schema, and even handle Stripe integration smoothly.
Create a Product Showcase Page
A successful commerce business starts with an outstanding product showcase page. Whether you’re selling jewelry, vintage pieces, sub-culture fashion, pet accessories, or hardware, the first page needs to reflect your brand tone, not just look like a template.
Instead of hiring a designer or learning design tools, you can ask Atoms agents to generate images for you. You only need to describe the vibe, the color, and the style. If you have reference images, simply upload them to Atoms.
You can also edit details directly using Select to Chat or Select to Edit — change color, radius, scale, background, without learning UI design on YouTube.
Manage Products Like a Real Store
When you are running an e-commerce store, you have ongoing tasks such as launching new items, removing outdated listings, and promoting star products. You can bulk upload product images and let Atoms generate descriptions, highlights, material details, and even SEO-friendly copy.
If you want to extend the features of your online store, you can build an internal management system through vibe-coding to manage your products.
Atoms is not only about the storefront. It’s a full business surface, from display pages to operational dashboards.
Build a Multi-Page Site
Think of the layout like a physical store: you need a front desk, a display area, and a stockroom. A fully functional commerce site always includes a homepage, product listings, user stories or brand narratives, and a checkout page.
Simply describe your ideas and requirements to Atoms agents, and they will build it for you end-to-end.
Add Login System
Your customers need to log in to see their cart, favorites, and shipping process. Previously, you would either write the whole auth flow yourself or rely solely on a giant platform to sell your products. Now, Atoms ships with an internal auth system by default.
When chatting with Atoms agents, they will detect your need for the user authentication system, e.g., log in, sign in, and account management. You can directly click Log In on your page in App Viewer to test the flow.
Integrate Stripe for Payment
Stripe is one of the most used payment processors globally. With Stripe connected, you can manage pricing, charge customers, and track orders easily.
If this is your first time using Stripe, check our onboarding guide (link placeholder). The setup is straightforward:
Create a Stripe account
Connect Stripe with Atoms
Define products and pricing
Test checkout end-to-end
One-time purchase or subscription — both work.
Manage Data and Inventory
Atoms comes with a built-in database. You can manage product data, user accounts, inventory counts, and order records directly—no server setup required.
A typical database includes tables for: products, orders, users, inventory, favorites, and carts. You can customize your schema based on your actual business needs.
Real businesses need real data flows: uploading product details to the DB, creating order records upon purchase, automatically decreasing inventory, and using user interactions to feed your next campaign.
You can now manage all your data in Atoms. All in one place.
