OpenEcom · Open sourceAlpha
Open-source commerce for print on demand.
OpenEcom is the commerce platform LinkPrint® develops in the open under the MIT license. A shopper designs a product in the browser and orders it; the merchant receives a print-ready file. Two businesses of our own already put it to work: photoX® and photoX® Community.
What is in it
Four parts, one platform.
Products, orders, customers, plugins and themes, for every merchant on the installation.
A fast, themeable store that a merchant can restyle without touching the engine.
An editor that runs in the shopper’s browser and outputs a file a factory can print.
An MCP gateway for each store, so AI assistants can shop it on a customer’s behalf.
In practiceLive
Two businesses of our own run the proof.
OpenEcom is not offered on a promise. It carries a consumer brand and a community marketplace that we operate ourselves.
photoX®
A customer’s photo becomes a ChromaLuxe® metal print, made to order in the USA and produced in our own factory.
See photoX
photoX® Community
Artists submit, members score blind, and the top-scored works are pressed in metal. Scoring, auctions and analytics run as OpenEcom plugins.
See CommunityWhy we give it away
The storefront is the on-ramp.
A custom-product store is hard to build and easy to get wrong. By making a complete one free to run, we lower the cost of starting.
And every store built on OpenEcom is designed to connect to LinkPrint® Hub when it needs a factory.
Plugins
Thirteen official plugins, signed and ready.
Payments, carriers, tax, storage and AI connect through plugins. Plugins and themes ship as signed packages and install from a marketplace inside the back office.

LinkPrint® Hub is the core platform that routes orders from storefronts like these to factories that can make them.
