## Organization
- **Brand:** ENDS Commerce
- **Legal entity:** Acceloris LLC
- **Website:** https://endscommerce.com/

- **Founder & practice lead:** Mr. Deatherage (Philip N. Deatherage), Acceloris LLC

## Mission
ENDS Commerce is a **team-led** development and migration practice. Mr. Deatherage founded Acceloris LLC and leads a team of developers, integrators, and compliance specialists who build open-source ENDS and vape e-commerce stores — with industry-specific features hosted platforms never included.

## Context: Shopify ENDS ban
Shopify requires merchants to remove all ENDS products by **July 8, 2026 UTC**. Banned products include e-cigarettes, e-liquids, vaporizers, parts, and refills. Non-compliance can lead to product suspension or store termination. BigCommerce is expected to follow similar policies.

## Services

### Store types
1. **Wholesale (B2B)** — Tiered pricing, net terms, approval workflows, multi-location accounts
2. **Retail (B2C)** — Storefronts, promotions, merchandising, DTC checkout
3. **Wholesale + Retail** — One catalog, separate channel rules, pricing, and checkout

### Every build includes
- Age verification integration
- Custom storefront design
- Admin and order management
- Shipping and tax configuration
- SEO and performance optimization
- Training and documentation

### Migration
Three-step process: Audit and plan → Build and migrate → Launch and support. We migrate catalog, customers, order history, integrations, and SEO from Shopify and BigCommerce.

**SEO preservation included:** 301 redirects for all indexed URLs, title tags and meta descriptions, canonical URLs, XML sitemaps, Google Search Console handoff, structured data (Product, Organization), and performance optimized for Core Web Vitals — so organic rankings and traffic carry over.

### Payment processing
ENDS is high-risk. We connect merchants with processors and gateways experienced in vape, including Authorize.net, NMI, PayTrace, USAePay, Fluid Pay, eMerchant Authority, PaymentCloud, and Maverick.

### Integrations
- **Order platforms (OMS):** Pipe17, Openship, SKUVault, Celigo
- **ERP:** Odoo, Acumatica, NetSuite, Microsoft Dynamics, SAP Business One

## Technology platforms
We deploy open-source commerce platforms — the merchant owns everything:

| Platform | Best for |
|----------|----------|
| **Vectis Commerce** (recommended) | Enterprise B2B + B2C, promotions, line-level shipping, hosted or on-prem |
| **MedusaJS** | Headless, composable, custom storefronts |
| **WooCommerce** | WordPress + commerce, content-heavy sites |

### Vape industry features (built by our team)
- **PACT Act compliance** — registration, shipping eligibility, recordkeeping, reporting
- **Excise tax engine** — state and local tax by product type, volume, and jurisdiction
- **Age verification** — checkout and account identity checks for ENDS
- **Shipping restrictions** — state, county, and locality rules; flavor and nicotine limits
- **Wholesale license verification** — B2B document collection and approval workflows
- **Product classification** — nicotine strength, mL volume, device type driving tax and fulfillment

## Team
Mr. Deatherage founded Acceloris LLC and leads the ENDS Commerce team. Developers, integrators, and compliance specialists deliver migrations and builds with the features above — 30+ years of combined e-commerce experience, ENDS projects since 2012.

## Why open source
Hosted SaaS platforms can change acceptable use policies overnight. Open-source commerce on infrastructure the merchant controls eliminates platform deplatforming risk. The merchant owns the code, database, and deployment.
