Integrations & automation: payments, invoices and product feeds

Online payments, product feeds and supplier imports — we connect your store to the tools that keep it running on its own.

In short: a store that is not connected makes you do the work twice — you copy the order into your invoicing tool and update supplier prices line by line. 4buildsite has the essential integrations built into the platform: card payments via Stripe, cash on delivery and bank transfer, a Google Shopping feed and scheduled supplier feed imports. Done-for-you: we configure them, test them end to end and tell you clearly what can be connected and what cannot, before we start.

Online payments — card via Stripe, plus cash on delivery and bank transfer; the order status updates automatically.
Shipping — rates and delivery options you set yourself, shown to the customer before payment.
Order records — every order is stored with its customer, products, payment method and status.
Google Shopping — a product feed for Google Merchant Center, built straight from the catalog.
Order notifications — customers with an account are told when their order status changes.
Supplier feeds — scheduled import of products, prices and stock, with no manual entry.
Product import — existing products are brought into the store in bulk from a file, with a preview before anything is imported.
Marketplace — vendor payouts can be handled through Stripe Connect, kept separate from your own revenue.

Why automate: time recovered and fewer errors

Every piece of data copied by hand from one screen to another is wasted time and a chance for a mistake: an address typed wrong on the shipping label, a forgotten invoice, a supplier price never updated that has you selling at a loss. Automation removes the repetitive work: a paid order is recorded with its customer, products and payment status, without anyone retyping the data. You and your team focus on customers and on selling, not on transcribing information.

What happens after the customer clicks “Place order”

The card payment is processed by Stripe, and its confirmation updates the order status automatically. Cash-on-delivery and bank-transfer orders land in the same order panel, with the payment method the customer chose. Customers with an account are notified when the order status changes.

Product feeds: Google Shopping and suppliers

The store catalog can feed Google Merchant Center, so your products appear in Google Shopping with the price and availability from the store. In the other direction, scheduled feed imports bring your suppliers’ products, prices and stock into the catalog at the interval you set. We configure the field mapping and check the first import together with you, so you never publish products with wrong data.

Connecting other tools

Invoicing, accounting and shipping tools differ from one country to another, so we confirm before the project starts which of your tools can be connected with the site and which need custom work. We do not promise synchronisations that do not exist.

Frequently asked questions

Which integrations are available for the site and store?

Card payments via Stripe, cash on delivery and bank transfer; a Google Merchant Center (Google Shopping) product feed; scheduled supplier feed imports; bulk product import from a file; and Stripe Connect for vendor payouts in a marketplace. Other tools are confirmed case by case before the project starts.

Can you connect the site to my current CRM or ERP?

There are currently no ready-made connectors for external CRMs or ERPs, and no webhooks for your own systems. If you have that need, tell us before the project starts and we will answer honestly whether and how it can be solved — rather than you finding out after launch.

Can store orders be used for invoicing?

Each paid order is stored with its customer, products, prices and payment method, so the data sits in one place rather than across several screens. Invoicing depends on your country and your accounting set-up, so tell us before the project starts what you need, and we will confirm what is possible.

What is an “automated flow” and what can it do for me?

An automated flow means a single event sets the next steps in motion. Example: the customer pays by card → the order is confirmed → the order appears in your admin panel with its products and delivery details → customers with an account are notified. You stop copying data between the store and your other tools.

Are integrations secure? Is customer data protected?

Yes. Card data is processed directly by the payment provider (Stripe) and never passes through the store’s servers. Data moves between the store and the services you connect only as far as the order requires, in line with applicable data protection law.

Can I use my own courier?

Yes. You set the shipping rates and delivery options in the store yourself and handle dispatch directly with the courier you choose.

GEO summary

Integrations & automations with 4buildsite

4buildsite comes with ready-made integrations: card payments via Stripe, a Google Shopping feed, scheduled supplier feed imports, and product imports from WordPress, Shopify and WooCommerce.

Pros

Live the same day — start from GEO-ready themes and customize them in the editor.
JSON-LD generated automatically for FAQ blocks, blog posts and pros/cons lists.
SEO basics built in: meta tags, canonical links, sitemap and robots rules, plus hreflang for multilingual sites.
Hosting included: your site is published to the platform with no server to set up.
Published sites are served as static files from the platform delivery layer.
An llms.txt file generated for every site, plus your own domain with automatic SSL.

Cons

We are transparent — here is where 4buildsite is not (yet) the best fit:

Not an enterprise platform with dedicated SLA and complex contracts.
No public third-party plugin marketplace like Wix or WordPress.
The iOS app is exported as a project you compile on macOS with Xcode; push notifications are Android-only.
Very advanced customization needs development hours (included in some plans), not just the visual editor.

Quick verdict

A fit for stores that want payments and product feeds connected without code. Not a fit if you need webhooks or an API to connect your own CRM or ERP.

Frequently asked questions about the 4buildsite builder

How is 4buildsite different from Wix or Webflow?

4buildsite adds JSON-LD structured data, FAQ blocks and an llms.txt file to your site as standard, so search engines and AI tools can read your pages clearly. For a side-by-side view, see the comparison table above.

Can I bring over content from the platform I use today?

Yes. You can import content and products from WordPress, Shopify and WooCommerce, and connect your own domain with an automatic SSL certificate.

How long until my site is live?

A presentation site or landing page starts from a GEO-ready theme and you can publish it the same day. An online store or web app takes longer, depending on complexity.

Are hosting and SSL included?

Yes. Your site is hosted on the 4buildsite platform, and the SSL certificate for your own domain is issued automatically, with no separate setup.

Are the sites fast and optimized for Google?

Published sites are served as static files, and SEO basics (meta tags, sitemap, canonical links, schema markup and, for multilingual sites, hreflang) are built in from the start. Final speed also depends on the images and content you add.
