From Stores to Users

Is it possible to remove the store?
I’m in the need of making a C2C platform, but without the store function.

The customers is supposed to be users, and not associated with generel stores.

Currently, it’s not possible to remove the store function, and logically, it wouldn’t work as expected.

For the system to differentiate between users who can post listings and those who cannot, an account structure is necessary. This ensures that:

  • Listings are associated with an entity (account) for proper organization.
  • You can control and approve who is allowed to post.
  • A matching algorithm between buyers and sellers can function correctly.
  • If you plan to introduce a subscription model in the future, an account-based structure allows you to restrict posting to subscribers while still allowing non-subscribers to browse and buy.

One possible approach is to auto-create accounts for every user who signs up, so they don’t have to manually create a store. Let us know if you’d like this feature!
