Prodigy Commerce provides WordPress Developers with an eCommerce platform that leverages the benefits of the WordPress CMS and eases the pain points that come from self-hosted eCommerce solutions like WooCommerce.Prodigy\'s platform is free at any scale, not freemium, and satisfies a majority of use cases. We\'ve tightly integrated ShipEngine, TaxJar, MaxMind minFraud, Google Analytics, Facebook Pixel, abandoned cart recovery, and a handful of payment processors into our platform.We make money through partnerships with the payment processors, just like Shopify does with Store Owners who use Shopify Payments. Prodigy, however, does not charge a subscription; it really is free. For high-volume stores, we can negotiate lower rates and match the rates of any other processor. We are perfectly aligned with a Store Owner\'s primary goal, generating sales.Prodigy’s platform is more secure and runs faster than WordPress eCommerce stores built with WooCommerce. Prodigy does not require any additional plugins, add-ons or extensions, all of which create points-of-vulnerability. In addition, we provide an SSL certificate, and the checkout process is PCI-compliant. Our platform was custom-built for speed and is hosted on AWS, which benefits SEO, sales funnel conversion, and brand reputation.Finally, Prodigy enables WordPress Developers to compete with DIY store builders / websites-in-a-box like Shopify and BigCommerce since Prodigy is also a hosted system but with a unique business model (free). In fact, we pay WordPress Developers to develop stores on our platform. For new stores, the maximum payout is $2,400 and for new stores migrated from another platform, the maximum payout is $3,600.
