our call

Start with Logbase — highest vibe code, weakest moat.

FunnelKit

FunnelKit relies on standard WooCommerce action hooks, custom post types, and payment gateway tokenization APIs. Custom checkout steps, order bumps, and post-purchase redirects can be built natively using PHP and JavaScript.

you can rebuild

  • Pre-purchase order bumps (adding cross-sell items to WooCommerce cart via AJAX)
  • Post-purchase one-click upsells using Stripe/PayPal stored payment tokens
  • Custom WooCommerce checkout layout and field customization
  • Slide-out mini cart drawer with free-shipping threshold bar
  • Rule-based checkout redirection logic based on cart contents or cart total

what you lose

  • Native visual page-builder widgets (Elementor, Divi, Gutenberg blocks)
  • Out-of-the-box support for 30+ obscure WooCommerce payment gateways
  • Built-in split testing framework with automatic sample size calculations
  • Deep integration with FunnelKit Automations (CRM/marketing automation suite)
  • Pre-made design templates and optimized mobile layouts

real moats

  • Battle-tested compatibility matrix across dozens of third-party WooCommerce payment plugins
  • Zero-code UI builder integrations for non-technical WordPress users
  • Ongoing upkeep against breaking changes in WooCommerce core and Store API

Logbase

Logbase is an admin UI wrapped around standard Shopify APIs and Checkout UI Extensions. An engineer can implement equivalent conditional rule matching and UI blocks in a few days using the official Shopify Remix app template.

  • Post-purchase one-click upsell offers inserted before thank-you page
  • Checkout UI Extension block widgets for native Shopify checkout
  • In-cart product add-on triggers based on cart totals
  • Basic conversion rate and revenue analytics dashboard

what you lose

  • No-code visual widget styling for non-technical team members
  • Pre-tested theme compatibility fallback logic across custom Liquid codebases
  • Native multi-currency formatting out of the box in checkout blocks
  • Turnkey analytics tracking without setting up custom database tables
  • Automatic maintenance during Shopify API version updates

real moats

  • Out-of-the-box theme compatibility across diverse Shopify merchant storefronts
