Products, variants, markets, inventory, orders and editorial content remain manageable in a familiar CMS.
Native commerce infrastructure
One backend.
A native store.
Your brand.
Mercato connects a server-authoritative ProcessWire commerce engine to a focused SwiftUI storefront—without duplicating prices, inventory, tax, delivery or payment truth on the device.

The platform
Commerce logic stays where it belongs.
The website, iOS application and future branded clients share one authoritative catalog and order lifecycle. The app presents the experience; Mercato controls the transaction.
Commerce authority
Server-derived quotes, tax, delivery, discounts, checkout state and idempotent operations protect transactional truth.
Native storefront
Fast discovery, browsing, account, checkout, order tracking and privacy controls in a focused iOS experience.
The product
From discovery to delivery.
A real storefront flow—not a catalog wrapper. These screens come from the deterministic Mercato application running in the iOS Simulator.
01 · CONNECT
Start with trust.
Enter a store domain and review its verified identity before Mercato restores any account, cart, order or notification data.
- HTTPS-only discovery
- One-tap embedded demo
- Explicit merchant confirmation
02 · DISCOVER

Search, collections, availability and server-supplied product data stay clear without turning the experience into a web wrapper.
- Native search and filters
- Inventory-aware cards
- Merchant-controlled content
03 · CONFIGURE
Make every choice explicit.
Option groups show what is selected, what remains available and how the server-authoritative SKU, price and inventory change.
- Multi-option products
- Unavailable-state clarity
- Persistent purchase action
04 · CHECKOUT
Keep the path to purchase focused.
Compact quantity controls, a legible summary and a persistent checkout action move the customer forward without hiding the totals.
- Direct quantity updates
- Clear order summary
- Authoritative checkout handoff
Why Mercato
A direct channel without a second commerce stack.
Native customer experience and independent infrastructure work together. Your team operates one commercial model instead of reconciling multiple sources of truth.
One source of truth
Products, images, variants, availability, collections and market context arrive through the versioned store API.
Authoritative totals
The server owns pricing, tax, delivery, discounts and payment state. The client never promotes estimates into payment truth.
Order continuity
Signed guest access, account history, fulfilment, cancellation, return eligibility, receipts and payment reconciliation.
Store isolation
Every connected merchant receives an isolated cart, account, order, favorites, market and push-registration namespace.
Localized by design
English, German, French, Spanish and Russian interfaces with Dynamic Type and adaptive narrow-screen layouts.
Failure-aware flows
Identity validation, same-origin discovery, idempotency, stale-state recovery and explicit unavailable-payment boundaries.
PW Built on ProcessWire ↗
The module behind the app
One store. A native channel that stays in sync.
Mercato is the required ProcessWire commerce module behind the iOS experience. It owns the catalog, variants, inventory, tax, delivery, checkout, payments and order lifecycle; the app remains a secure native client.
Your content, customers and merchant operations stay under your control.
One authoritative API for every commercial decision and state transition.
View module source ↗A focused iOS storefront connected to the same live commerce model.
The application requires a compatible HTTPS ProcessWire website with the Mercato module installed and its mobile API enabled.
Deployment models
Start shared. Graduate to your own brand.
Use one application to connect compatible shops, or create a merchant-specific distribution with its own identity, domain, policy set and signing assets.
Mercato Commerce
A shared application that verifies any compatible HTTPS store before loading store-scoped data. Recent stores remain convenient without weakening isolation.
White-label delivery
Dedicated bundle identifier, app icon, storefront endpoint, Universal Links, privacy notice, signing profile and merchant-owned release process.
- Brand-specific application identity
- Separate credentials and Keychain namespace
- Merchant-controlled catalog and policies
- Repeatable generated Xcode configuration
Built for independent commerce
Your store should not end at the browser.
Mercato creates a direct, native customer channel while keeping your catalog and operational data in infrastructure you control.
