Helm

Module · Shop

A checkout that ends where the money actually is: a reference, not a card form.

Built for money that settles outside the checkout. The buyer picks Whish, OMT, a bank transfer or cash on delivery, types the transfer reference, and the order waits as unpaid until you confirm it against your own statement. Cards work too, through your own gateway. Payment that settles outside the checkout is the normal case here, not the fallback.

Switched on per account rather than bought. Plans start at ⁨$20⁩ a month.

Payment methods

You name the methods yourself. Two kinds, and the order knows which.

Paid before dispatch — Whish, OMT, a bank transfer. The buyer sends the money the way they already send money, then types the reference into the checkout. Paid at the door — cash on delivery. No reference, nothing to confirm up front; the order lands as unpaid, which is exactly what it is until the courier comes back.

Card payments work too — through your own gateway. Connect Stripe or whichever provider you have, in Lebanon or anywhere, and “card” becomes one more method in the list. Nothing here assumes you will.

The order

Unpaid until you say otherwise, and the reference is right there.

Every order arrives with the method, the reference the buyer typed and their contact. You check your own Whish or bank statement, find the reference, and mark it paid. Then dispatched, then delivered — or the courier comes back with the cash and you mark it then.

Nothing is marked paid because a processor said so. You said so. The buyer leaves with an order reference on screen and can look it up later with that and their email.

Catalogue, stock, delivery

Products with variants, stock that counts down, and delivery by region.

Helm runs the catalogue, the stock, the delivery regions and the orders. The product and checkout pages are built into your site's own design during setup — that is a build, not a template you pick.

Variants and stock

Size, colour, whatever you sell in. Each variant has its own count that goes down with every paid order and stops the checkout at zero.

Delivery by region

Beirut, Mount Lebanon, the rest, abroad — each with its own fee and its own promise. The buyer sees the right one for their address.

Built into your site

Product pages and the checkout are designed as part of your site during setup, not a bolt-on storefront in someone else's style.

How you get it

On your plan, switched on for you.

Shop is switched on per account rather than bought. It is not an add-on with a price of its own — your developer turns it on when your project is set up.

Shop needs the product and checkout pages built into your site, which happens during setup.

Before you start

What this does not do, said now rather than later.

Cards need your own gateway

Card payments go through a provider you hold the account with — Stripe, or a Lebanese or regional gateway. Helm connects to it; it is not the processor and does not hold your money.

No storefront design to pick

There is no theme gallery. The product and checkout pages are built into your site during setup, which is slower to say and true.

It does not chase payment

An unpaid order waits. Helm does not send reminders or cancel it for you. You decide how long to hold stock, and you say when it is paid.

Getting started

Name your payment methods, and the checkout ends where the money is.
