How K MAG launched a store for 15 years of pop culture in just 30 days

In just 30 days, K MAG — Poland's leading pop-culture magazine — launched a new online store for print and digital issues, subscriptions, and exclusive merch using YNS (YNS). The result: a seamlessly integrated e-commerce experience that mirrors the magazine's aesthetic and opens a new revenue channel.

About K MAG

K MAG is an influential pop-culture magazine covering music, film, art, design, and fashion — a voice that's shaped Polish creative culture for over 15 years. It's far more than a print publication: K MAG operates a daily online portal, dynamic social media channels, a radio show, and a series of podcasts reaching a nationwide audience. From the beginning, K MAG has spotlighted emerging talent — photographers, illustrators, and designers featured in its Your Works section. Founded and edited by Mikołaj Komar, K MAG has earned awards including Chimera, GrandFront, and KTR.

The Solution

The result was a fully integrated e-commerce portal where readers can purchase single issues, subscriptions, limited-edition posters, and event tickets. Using YNS's visual editor, the editorial team built a layout that perfectly reflects the magazine's visual identity — without writing a single line of code. The Universal Account feature allows users to log in with the same credentials they use on the main K MAG portal, while a new newsletter module and accounting integration complete the setup. The entire project went live within one month, powered entirely by YNS's no-code framework.

The Challenge

After 15 years of publishing and building cultural authority, K MAG wanted to give its readers a new way to engage — and buy.

  • Launch a store for print and digital editions, plus merch, posters, and event tickets
  • Build a fast, responsive interface that lives up to the magazine's design standards and keeps mobile users engaged
  • Simplify subscription and payment management, integrated with the existing K MAG portal
  • Enable the editorial team to manage content and offers without relying on developers
