Start small. Sell safely. Add modules later.
A simple, stable starter webshop for small product businesses that want to start selling online without building a large custom system from day one.
Products → Cart → Checkout → Payment → Shipping → Order Emails → Test Order
Many webshop projects become too large too early.
Small businesses often start with too many plugins, too many design choices, too many technical settings and too many future ideas before the first order has even been tested.
This creates cost, confusion and risk.
A small business should not pay for complexity before the basic sales flow has been proven.
What a small business actually needs first
- A clear shop structure
- Product pages that are easy to understand
- A working cart
- A working checkout
- One payment method
- One shipping method
- Basic order emails
- A test order before launch
- A system that can grow later
A starter webshop product built on WordPress, WooCommerce and Astra.
GL86 Basic Webshop is made for small product businesses that need a stable foundation before adding advanced features.
The purpose is simple: create a webshop that can show products, handle cart and checkout, connect one payment method, connect one shipping method, send basic order emails, and pass a test order before launch.
This is not only an idea. The basic webshop flow has been built and tested.
These screenshots come from the GL86 Basic Webshop prototype v0.1. They show the tested flow from homepage and shop to product, cart, checkout and order received.
The prototype was tested in a controlled local environment. No real payment or real customer order was processed.
Click any screenshot to open it in full size.
Mobile proof
The prototype was also checked on mobile-width screens, because a small webshop must work for customers using phones.
Behind-the-scenes technical proof
A webshop is not proven only by frontend screenshots. The order must also appear in WooCommerce, and the order emails must be generated.
Clear included and not included boundaries.
The Basic Webshop is intentionally limited. This keeps it clean, affordable and easier to understand.

Choose the setup level that fits your situation.
GL86 Basic Webshop is the product core. It can be delivered in two different ways: Self-Install or Assisted Setup.
The webshop foundation stays the same. What changes is the delivery responsibility, support boundary and price level.
Self-Install
For customers who are comfortable with WordPress and WooCommerce, or have someone who can install and configure the webshop for them.
- Lower price
- More customer responsibility
- Documentation-based setup
- Setup checklist
- Country readiness checklist
- Test order protocol
- Clear support boundary
Assisted Setup
For customers who want GL86 to install the Basic Webshop foundation and help bring it to test-order-ready status.
- Higher price
- More GL86 responsibility during setup
- Basic installation help
- Basic configuration
- Guided setup
- Test order readiness
- Clearer handover
One core. Many country layers.
A webshop does not exist in the air. It sells in a country. That means every webshop needs a basic country readiness process before launch.
Before going live, the seller may still need validation from an accountant, legal advisor, payment provider or local authority depending on the country and business type.
Start with the core. Choose the country layer. Add only what is needed.
Final public prices are not shown in this first version. The purpose here is to show the package logic clearly.
GL86 Basic Webshop Core
For businesses that need the smallest stable webshop foundation.
GL86 Denmark Starter
For small Danish businesses that need Denmark-focused setup direction.
GL86 Scandinavia Starter
For businesses preparing for Denmark, Sweden or Norway.
GL86 Croatia Starter
For businesses that need Croatia as the country layer.
GL86 Full Starter Bundle
For customers who want the Basic Webshop plus selected add-on modules.
Advanced features stay outside the core until they are needed.
Add-ons must not be confused with the Basic Webshop core. They are separate upgrade modules.
Custom Email Module
Better control over webshop email structure and delivery setup.
Newsletter Engine
A separate newsletter system for product-based communication.
Monitoring
Operational checks for webshop health and important flows.
Alerts
Notifications when important webshop problems need attention.
Product Quality Checks
Checks for missing product information before launch.
Payment Protection
Extra control around price and payment-related problems.
Order Intelligence
Better overview of order flow and operational webshop signals.
Analytics
Optional tracking and business insight when the foundation is ready.
AI-Assisted Workflows
Future assistance for structured webshop work and content support.
Price depends on delivery responsibility.
GL86 Basic Webshop uses the same product core, but it can be delivered in different ways.
Self-Install has a lower price because the customer takes more responsibility for setup, configuration and testing.
Assisted Setup has a higher price because GL86 takes more responsibility during installation, basic configuration and test-order readiness.
Price follows responsibility.
A self-install package should not be priced like an assisted setup.
An assisted setup should not be priced like a simple download.
Premium Managed remains separate and belongs to a higher responsibility level.
No test order, no delivery.
A webshop is not ready because it looks finished. A webshop is ready when the order flow works.
The test order checks:
- Customer can view product
- Product can be added to cart
- Checkout can be completed
- Payment method is working
- Shipping method is working
- Order email is sent
- Order appears correctly in WooCommerce
- Seller can understand what happened
GL86 does not sell a random webshop.
GL86 builds a controlled webshop system.
Many webshop projects start with design, plugins and features. GL86 starts with control.
GL86 starts by asking:
- Who is the seller?
- What country is the shop selling in?
- What products are being sold?
- Are prices correct?
- Can payment work?
- Can shipping work?
- Can the customer place an order?
- Can the seller receive and understand the order?
- Has the order flow been tested?
Ready to start with a simple webshop foundation?
Begin with the core. Set up the country layer. Add products. Configure payment and shipping. Complete a test order. Add modules later when the business is ready.
Simple core. Controlled setup. Test order before launch.
Common questions
Is GL86 Basic Webshop only a self-install product?
No. GL86 Basic Webshop is the product core. It can be delivered as Self-Install or Assisted Setup.
What is the difference between Self-Install and Assisted Setup?
Self-Install is for customers who are comfortable with WordPress and WooCommerce, or have someone who can install and configure the webshop for them. Assisted Setup is for customers who want GL86 to help with installation, basic configuration and test-order readiness.
Is GL86 Basic Webshop a fully managed service?
No. Basic Webshop is not a full managed service. Assisted Setup can include installation help, but ongoing managed responsibility belongs to GL86 Commerce System Premium Managed.
Is maintenance included?
No. Ongoing maintenance is not included in the Basic Webshop product unless purchased separately.
Can I add more features later?
Yes. The Basic Webshop is designed as a foundation that can be extended with separate GL86 modules.
Does GL86 guarantee legal or accounting compliance?
No. GL86 can provide a structured country readiness checklist, but legal and accounting validation may still be required before launch.
Check if GL86 Basic Webshop fits your business
Choose your language and continue with the correct readiness path. The page language, CTA and form language should match.
This is not a purchase form, not a public checkout, and not an automated self-install order. It is a first step to check whether GL86 Basic Webshop may fit your situation.
