Building the future of circular commerce

We believe every product deserves more than one life. Total Commerce helps Shopify merchants unlock sustainable revenue through rentals, leasing, and re-commerce.

Our Mission

Make circular commerce accessible to every merchant

Traditional e-commerce is linear: make, sell, dispose. But consumers are changing. They want access over ownership. They want sustainability without sacrifice. They want to try before they commit.

Total Commerce exists to bridge this gap. We give Shopify merchants the tools to offer rentals, leasing, subscriptions, try-before-you-buy, and buyback programs without rebuilding their entire business.

Our vision is a future where circular commerce isn't a niche. It's the norm. Where every product finds multiple homes, and merchants build deeper, longer-lasting relationships with their customers.

Our Story

From frustration to foundation

2024

The problem becomes clear

After watching multiple fashion brands struggle to implement rental programs on Shopify, we realised the ecosystem lacked a proper solution. Existing tools were clunky, expensive, or required custom development.

Early 2025

First lines of code

We started building Total Commerce with a simple goal: make circular commerce as easy as traditional e-commerce. Native Shopify integration was non-negotiable from day one.

Late 2025

Alpha testing with partners

We partnered with forward-thinking brands like Wuva to test and refine the platform. Their feedback shaped everything from our pricing engine to our customer portal.

2026

Beta launch

Total Commerce opens to the public. Merchants can now offer rentals, leasing, subscriptions, try-before-you-buy, and buyback programs from a single platform.

What We Believe

The principles that guide everything we build

Simplicity First

Circular commerce is complex enough. Our job is to make it simple. If a feature can't be explained in a sentence, it needs more work.

Merchant Time is Sacred

Every hour spent configuring software is an hour not spent growing the business. We optimise relentlessly for setup speed and ongoing efficiency.

Transparent by Default

No hidden fees, no surprise charges. Our pricing is public. Our roadmap is public. We succeed when our merchants succeed.

Native, Not Bolted On

We build inside the Shopify ecosystem, not around it. Your data stays in Shopify. Your workflow stays in Shopify. We just extend what's possible.

Sustainability Matters

We're not building circular commerce tools because it's trendy. We believe extending product lifecycles is essential for a sustainable future.

Customer Obsessed

We talk to merchants every single day. Their challenges shape our roadmap. Their wins are our wins. We're building this together.
