What’s inside

Efficient and functional

Each employee sees only what is theirs — and works without interfering with others

Roles are assigned flexibly: content managers fill the catalog, logistics staff maintain prices, sales managers process orders. A detailed permission system protects commercial information: data is open only to the extent allowed by the access level. While an employee is working with data, the dispatcher will not let someone else overwrite it.

High-speed work with products, orders, and any other data

We have been developing Melbis Shop since 2002 — since the days of dial-up internet with speeds below 2 KB/s. Because of this, we achieved high operating speed with low traffic consumption. It may seem unnecessary today, but this approach radically reduces server load thanks to less frequent changes in the database and cache.

A unique combination of the advantages of native applications and web technologies

We found a way to combine the strengths of both approaches: the performance of desktop software and the versatility of browser-based solutions. While working in Melbis Shop, you can at any time use integrated web modules to interact with online services directly from the software interface.

Scalability: build your project gradually, step by step

When getting acquainted with Melbis Shop, it is easy to understand how it works thanks to clear basic and demo storefront scripts. It is much easier and cheaper to develop your project gradually, starting small, than to spend enormous resources and time implementing someone else’s heavyweight system.

A convenient development environment and a low entry barrier for programmers

The number of new technologies grows every day, but we offer a reliable, time-tested combination of PHP + HTML + MySQL. This is a web development classic, accessible even to a beginner. And for quick access to all these tools, we created our own built-in development environment tailored to the platform architecture.

Unified business logic for both the buyer and the manager

Abstractions are kept to a minimum: orders, customers, and custom fields all live within the same business logic. Order calculation and checkout work the same way in the Windows software and on the storefront site — the very same modules are used. There is nothing to synchronize, which means nothing can drift apart: a rule written once works everywhere.

MCP SERVER · Claude Code

An AI assistant for the owner, employee, and developer — you simply describe the task in words

Connect Claude Code or any other MCP-compatible agent — and the store will open up to it from the inside. It will create storefront modules from a description, design the catalog structure, fill it with products, understand someone else’s code, and answer questions about your data. The agent logs in under an employee account and with that employee’s permissions — it sees exactly what you allow it to see, and everything it does is recorded by the store under its name.
