Your content stays where it belongs.
A product page is more than a record in a store database. It has photography, editorial content, translations and a design that belongs to the rest of the website. WireGum does not recreate that work in a second page builder.
Keep product stories and presentation in Kirby. Add one stable WireGum product reference to connect the page to its variants, price and stock. Editors keep working in the Panel they know, while commerce data stays consistent for checkout and fulfillment.
Start with the widget. Keep the option to go custom.
Add the WireGum script once, then place small data attributes in your Kirby templates for price, variant selection, add-to-cart controls and the cart. The surrounding HTML and CSS remain yours.
For a more custom storefront, call the same versioned JSON API used by the widget. You can start quickly without committing the project to a generated theme or proprietary product-page markup.

- Stable product and variant references

The order is where operations begin.
When Stripe confirms a payment, WireGum creates the order, updates stock and keeps fulfillment moving. Buy a label through a connected shipping provider or add tracking manually, then keep the customer informed with order and shipping emails.
- Products, variants, SKUs and stock
- Orders and fulfillment status
- Shippo, Sendcloud or EasyPost labels
- Manual shipping and tracking fallback
- Localized order and shipping emails
- Catalog and order CSV tools
A repeatable commerce layer for custom Kirby projects.
WireGum gives studios and freelance developers a documented integration they can understand, style and hand over. The client gets a focused operations dashboard instead of access to website templates or a second system for rebuilding product content.
For merchants running their own Kirby site, the same separation keeps daily work clear: Kirby runs the website, WireGum runs commerce operations and Stripe handles payment.
A few practical questions
Is WireGum a Kirby plugin?
Not exactly. WireGum is a hosted commerce backend with a Kirby starter kit, storefront widget and API. Kirby continues to render the website while WireGum runs commerce data and operations behind it.
Does WireGum replace the Kirby Panel?
No. Kirby remains the place for pages, copy, images and SEO. WireGum has a focused dashboard for sellable products, stock, orders, shipping and email.
Do payments pass through WireGum?
No. Checkout runs on Stripe and funds settle directly in the merchant's own Stripe account.
Can I style the cart myself?
Yes. Use the default widget, attach WireGum behavior to your own markup, or build a custom interface with the storefront API.
Keep Kirby. Add the commerce layer it needs.
