We’ve been working with the Magento, eBay and PayPal platforms for quite a few years, so when we heard about X.commerce and the X.commerce pledge, we were excited to be one of the first development firms to make the pledge!

The X.commerce pledge (which, we were excited to see, aligns and overlaps quite a bit with our Core Values and our Mission to create quality ecommerce tools and websites that are affordable, fun and easy to use, enabling the smallest new venture to compete with the largest established company.) reads:

We believe that merchants should harness technology, not the other way around. Technology solutions should be future-proof and meet their needs, not enslave them with confusion and costs.

We believe that developers should have one place where they can plug in, get the latest and greatest tools they need to build killer apps and features, using proven code.

We believe in helping all merchants and developers compete, save time, share ideas, grow, and frankly just make more money—faster.

And we’re realists; we know we can’t do it alone. Things are changing constantly, new ideas and technologies crop up daily. The customer is in control. The notion of “build it and they will come” is dead. To win in the commerce game, we need to combine forces, roll up our sleeves, stay caffeinated, and shape the future of commerce.

We pledge to make this happen in an open, transparent, and collaborative way. After all, isn’t that the way it should be?

We’re excited to take this pledge and be a part of what X.commerce is doing – the combination of eBay + PayPal + Magento really can’t be beat, in our opinion – using these 3 services you can easily launch or grow your e-commerce venture and connect with your customers online.
