Add a working storefront to the site you're building.
Bodega adds a real shop to the site you're making with Claude, Cursor, or any other AI coding tool. It's a one-time setup helper — your AI does the work in plain English. About fifteen minutes (forty-five from scratch).

What you get when it's done
Fifteen minutes after you paste the prompt — a complete, working shop. Bodega doesn't host it, take a cut, or run anything for you. Every account that gets created is yours.
On your site
- Your shop, cart, and checkout pages — where customers browse and buy. Styled to match your existing site (or the site Bodega makes with you).
- A simple back office — phone-friendly. Add products, see orders, print shipping labels, mark things shipped. You log in with a one-tap link by email.
Services it runs on
- Your website's home on the internet — a hosting service called Vercel. Free for testing, about $20/mo when you go live. You can change or move anything, any time.
- Real credit-card payments — a service called Stripe handles the cards safely. Money goes straight to your bank (~2.9% + 30¢ per US card).
- Your web address (optional) — your own domain like yourshop.com (~$12/year). A free address from Vercel otherwise.
- A backup of your site code (optional) — lives in a private storage folder you own (a service called GitHub). Free.
- Your customer data (orders, products, photos) — lives where your website lives. Bodega never touches it.
Uninstall Bodega tomorrow and your shop keeps running. Bodega is the build crew, not the landlord.
Who it's for
A fit when —
- You're building a website with an AI coding tool (or you have one already) and you want it to take orders.
- You want a real shop — your own web address, your own payment system, styled like yours. Not a generic template.
- It's one shop selling your stuff (not a marketplace where lots of different people sell different things).
- You don't want to spend a weekend wiring all the parts together yourself.
Not a fit when —
- You're running a big online store. (Shopify is better for that.)
- You want a no-code site builder where you click and drag. (Try Squarespace or Wix.)
- You're building a marketplace where many different people sell. (Bodega is for one shop with one inventory.)
- You're not comfortable using an AI coding tool. Bodega works through one — you'll be using your AI chatbot, not Bodega's website.
Copy and paste
Copy the prompt below and paste it into your AI chatbot — Claude, Cursor, ChatGPT, or whichever you're using. Your AI will ask permission to install Bodega — say yes. After install, you'll likely need to start a new chat (or restart your AI) before it sees the new commands. Then it walks you through every step in plain English.
Your AI will ask you a handful of friendly questions first — what you want to call your shop, who's running it, what kind of site (just a website, a place to show your work, a digital shop, or a full store with shipping) — then walks through:
Find a home for your site
Sets up where your website lives on the internet. We use a service called Vercel — free during testing, about $20/mo when you go live. You sign in (or make an account); your AI handles the rest.
Set up payments
Sets up the system that takes credit cards. We use Stripe — they handle the cards safely so you don't have to. Connects to your bank account so when people buy, the money goes straight to you. (Stripe sometimes takes a day or two to verify your business — your site can still go live in the meantime, with the buy button switched off.)
Put your site online
Builds the shop, cart, and checkout pages — themed to your existing design — and pushes them live.
Set up the back office
Creates a private admin where you (or whoever's running the shop) can add products, see orders, print labels, mark things shipped. You get a one-tap login link by email.
Pick a custom web address· optional
Buy a web address like yourshop.com (~$12/year), or connect one you already own.
Back up your website code· optional
Saves a copy of your site code to a private storage folder online. We use a service called GitHub — free, and you own the folder. Updates automatically every time your site changes.
No site yet? Bodega makes one with you first using impeccable — picks colors, fonts, and lays out the basics. About forty-five minutes total instead of fifteen — most of that is design.
Fine print
- What you needA computer, an internet connection, an AI coding tool (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.), and about an hour. Bodega checks the rest.
- What it costsBodega is free, forever. The services it sets up bill you directly: Stripe takes ~2.9% + 30¢ per US card, Vercel is free for testing then about $20/mo once you go live, a custom domain is ~$12/year (optional). GitHub backup and email are free.
- After setupBodega's job is done. Your shop runs on Vercel and Stripe directly — Bodega isn't sitting in between, and there's nothing extra to log into. You could uninstall the plugin and your shop would keep working.
- If something breaksYour AI agent can run /bodega:doctor any time to check what's wrong. If you get truly stuck, the source code is on GitHub and there's an issues page.
- Open sourceFree and open source under Apache 2.0. Built by one person, getting better all the time. You can fork it, change it, run it on your own machines.
- Pairs withimpeccable.style for the design — Bodega offers to install it when you start from scratch.
