# Composer

> Open a beautiful online store by describing what you sell.

Composer helps makers, brands, and boutiques open an online store without learning to code or wrestling templates. Describe what you sell in plain language, watch the store come together live, and change anything (wording, products, look, checkout) by chatting. Take orders from day one. Cash out after a short identity check. Linking your own Stripe is optional. Publish on your own domain when you're ready.

## FAQ
### What is Composer?
An AI store builder for people who sell. Describe a store, watch it build live, and run it by chatting. No coding required.

### How is it different from Shopify or Wix?
Those give you templates and dashboards to click through. Composer gives you an agent that builds and edits the store with you in conversation.

### Do I need to know how to code?
No. You build and change the store through conversation. Composer handles the technical work.

### How do payments work?
Checkout takes cards from day one through Composer. You cash out after a short identity check. You can instead link your own Stripe if you want to be the merchant of record.

### Can I use my own domain?
Yes. Each store can publish to a custom domain or subdomain, with its own brand, catalog, and orders.

### What does Composer cost?
There is a free plan. Paid plans start at 29 US dollars a month. You pick a credit pack. Shoppers pay at checkout. Every plan takes a small platform fee on sales, and the fee shrinks as the plan goes up.

### Who is Composer for?
Makers, brands, and boutiques who want a beautiful store without learning a dashboard or hiring a developer.

### Can I edit the store without chatting?
Yes. You can change plain static text by clicking it on the live preview. Ask the agent when you want a bigger change, a new product, or a new look.

### Can a store be in Hebrew or another right to left language?
Yes. A published store can follow the visitor language, including Hebrew and other right to left languages. The builder itself stays in English.

### Is Composer a Shopify alternative?
For people who want to open a store by describing it, yes. Shopify is a dashboard and app ecosystem you configure. Composer is an agent that builds and edits the store with you.

### How do I know if Composer is running?
Open composer.so/status. It shows live checks for the builder, storefronts, checkout, and sign in.
