Makeshop, the online store-building solution operated by Connectwave, said on the 27th that it has launched "Makeshop CORE," a free service for aspiring entrepreneurs and solo or small-scale sellers preparing to open online shopping malls.
Makeshop CORE offers only the core functions needed to run an online business — from building a store to selling products and managing operations — at no cost. At the store-building stage, an artificial intelligence-based "design and copy suggestion" feature provides designs and promotional text tailored to a brand's image.
For sales, an "order and delivery management" feature handles shipping-related tasks ranging from courier integration to waybill management. The service also supports add-on options such as outsourced customer service and advertising operations, as well as AI-generated product detail pages.
At the operations management stage, the service automatically provides monthly reports analyzing key metrics including sales and order volumes. The reports are designed to let sellers regularly review how their stores are performing and set strategy accordingly. A Makeshop official said the company aims to "reduce the burden of online selling and build an environment where aspiring entrepreneurs and solo or small-scale sellers can focus on running and growing their businesses through Makeshop CORE."
