114inkt: A Custom Ink Web Shop
A web shop for compatible Epson 114 ink, built by hand: one codebase for three domains and three languages, with no WordPress or shop platform for the storefront.
114inkt sells compatible ink for the Epson EcoTank ET-8500 and ET-8550, in the Netherlands, Germany and the rest of Europe. I wanted a fast shop, so I built the storefront myself instead of using WordPress or a shop theme.
One Astro codebase serves 114inkt.nl, 114tinte.de and 114ink.eu. The language follows from the domain, and all the copy sits in three typed files, so a missing translation is a build error, not a blank spot on a live page.
Checkout runs through the Shopify Storefront API. After payment a webhook processes the order and sends the confirmation. Prices live in one place, one file that sets every price, and shipping is never hidden inside a price.
The shop is live on all three domains.
