CEO at YNS

Most commerce platforms were built for a world where humans click buttons and developers wrangle plugins. That world is ending.

AI is changing how software gets built, and how stores get run. The agencies who figure this out first will define the next era of e-commerce. We want to work with them.

What is YNS?

YNS is a commerce platform designed to be operated by humans and AI agents.

We expose commerce as clean, composable primitives: products, pricing, checkout, fulfillment — without plugin side effects or hidden state. This makes YNS uniquely suitable for AI-assisted development and agent-driven workflows.

Agencies use YNS not just to build stores faster, but to let AI take on real implementation work: storefront generation, migrations, iteration, and ongoing optimization; for example, generating a storefront from a prompt, migrating a Shopify catalog automatically, or iterating on pricing and collections with an agent in the loop.

We call this Omakase Commerce — fewer knobs, better defaults, everything working together.

YNS is backed by Stripe and Vercel. We work with merchants and agencies across Europe and the US.

Who is this for?

Software agencies looking for a modern, AI-ready stack where your team, and AI tools, can actually move fast.

Freelancers and consultants who want to offer commerce implementation without drowning in plugin maintenance.

Domain experts expanding into implementation SEO consultancies, marketing agencies, e-commerce specialists. You already have the context and your clients' trust. With AI-assisted development and YNS, you can now build stores yourself.

The real opportunity

Implementation is where the money is. Agencies charge $10k–$100k+ for onboarding merchants onto YNS: scoping, migration, storefront buildout, launch. Some projects go higher.

Ongoing work compounds. Clients need seasonal refreshes (Black Friday, Christmas), campaign launches, new product lines, continuous optimization. This becomes recurring revenue — real retainer relationships, not one-off projects.

Revenue share is the cherry on top. You also earn up to 33% of the merchant's YNS subscription for as long as they remain active.

This program isn't about referral fees. It's about building a serious services practice around a platform designed for speed, leverage, and AI-native workflows.

How it works

  1. Apply — Tell us about your business and what you're looking to build
  2. Onboard — Training, resources, and direct support from our team
  3. Build — Start implementing YNS for your clients
  4. Grow — Unlock higher tiers and deeper collaboration

We'd rather work closely with fewer partners than manage a database of logos.

Join us

We're not trying to be the platform for everyone.

We're building YNS with teams who believe AI will fundamentally change how commerce is built — and want to be ahead of that curve, not catching up.

If that's how you already think, we should talk.
