A complete shop website built from what your shop already knows. Email on your own domain. Every link you send a customer — the estimate to approve, the invoice to pay, the booking page — opens on your domain, not ours. Live chat that lands in your inbox. Every piece wired into the shop system — and every piece at $0/mo.
Most shops pay three companies that do not talk to each other. A web agency built the site two years ago and the hours on it are wrong. The email is a Gmail address, or a hosting plan nobody remembers the password to. The "Book now" button sends people to a scheduling tool that has no idea what a brake job takes or which bay is free Thursday. And the estimate link your customers open still shows somebody else's company name.
SHOP COMMANDER® replaces all three with one thing you already have: the shop system. Point your domain at it and the website, the email, the booking page, the chat and every customer link run from the same facts your shop keeps for its own work. Change your hours in Settings and the website, the booking page and the AI receptionist all change with it. Included, free, with every account.
Home, services, advice, about, contact and a page per service — built from your Settings, in one of nine designs and twenty-four colour schemes, with photos from the library or your own.
you@yourshop.com. Mailboxes, aliases and a shared inbox your whole counter can work — inside Shop Commander or from your phone's mail app.
When you text a customer an estimate to approve or an invoice to pay, the link opens on your domain (my.yourshop.com) — not on a software company's address. Same for inspection reports, booking and the customer portal. Notification emails come from your domain too.
The booking page on your site only offers times you actually have — real hours, holidays and bay capacity — and lands on your calendar with the vehicle filled in.
A chat button on every page. Messages land in your inbox like a text; a reply the visitor misses is relayed to them by text or email.
Not just visits — which visits became bookings, calls and repair orders. First-party, on your domain, with a consent banner where the law wants one.
You do not fill in a website builder. You run your shop. The site is generated from the name, services, hours, service area and the kind of vehicles or equipment you look after — the same facts that already drive your booking page and your AI receptionist. A marine yard gets a marine site. A fleet shop gets a commercial one with an account inquiry form. A mobile mechanic gets a service-area site with "we come to you" up front. Nobody starts from a blank template.
Preview it privately before anything goes live, then publish to your domain. Republishing is a release: the previous version is kept, and the site never shows an unfinished draft.
Three of the 27 fictional businesses in the showcase — every one generated by the builder, chat and booking live on each.
Shop Commander does not sell SEO packages. It builds every site the way a search engine wants to read it, and it does that for every shop, every time, without a checklist:
What it does not do — yet — is the off-page work: Google Business Profile, citations and review sites still need a person. The site itself will never be the reason you do not rank.
A brake shop in Barrie gets a brake-repair page for Barrie — title, copy, FAQ and an advice article — without anyone writing it.
LocalBusiness or your trade's type, address, hours, service areas, FAQ and articles — generated from Settings, so it is never stale.
Static pages on an edge, one request for fonts, no third-party scripts unless you add them. The kind of site that scores well without tuning.
Bring the domain you already own, or register one from inside Shop Commander. Either way the setup is a checklist, not a support ticket: Shop Commander can host the DNS for you, or you keep it where it is and add the records it shows you. Certificates are automatic. Then everything moves onto your name:
Every piece of it is verified before it serves: the domain is checked at the registry, the records are watched every day, and the sending reputation is protected so your invoices reach the inbox.
A domain goes live only after Shop Commander sees it answer from the public internet, and it keeps checking.
Sending pools warm up, bounces and complaints are handled, and a problem pauses one thing instead of taking your email down.
Point the records yourself and Shop Commander only observes them. Switch to hosted DNS later with one click.
service@yourshop.com is a shared inbox the whole counter can work from inside Shop Commander: assign a conversation to a person, mark it waiting or done, snooze it, leave an internal note your customer never sees, and mention a colleague. The customer's record sits beside every thread — their vehicles, their open repair order, their last visit — so nobody has to go looking. New mail notifies the people who can actually open that mailbox, and nobody else.
Prefer your phone's mail app or Outlook? Same mailbox, an app password, done. Nothing about the shop leaves the shop's own domain.
service@, parts@, a personal box for each advisor. Assignment, status and notes, with a full activity trail.
Every conversation is matched to the customer record. Link it to a repair order or an appointment in one click.
Read and reply from the Shop Commander app, the standalone Mail app, or any mail client with an app password. Drafts you write offline send when you are back.




A visitor books an oil change for Thursday at 9:30: it is on your calendar before they close the tab, with the vehicle and their concern already on the appointment, and the confirmation text goes out from the same number your shop already texts from. A visitor opens the chat at 9 pm and asks whether you do tires: the message is waiting in Messages beside your texts in the morning, and your reply reaches them by text if they have left the page. A fleet manager fills in the commercial inquiry form: a follow-up task is created and it shows up on the counter's home screen.
Because it is all one system, the analytics can tell you the truth: not "we had 400 visits" but "eleven of those visits became bookings, four became calls, and here is what those jobs were worth." Call tracking numbers per campaign, first- and last-touch attribution, and conversion exports to Google and Meta — without a marketing agency.
Real availability from your hours, closures and bays. Confirmations and reminders automatic. More on booking →
The site's chat is a thread in your inbox, with the unread badge and the notifications your texts already get. No separate chat tool to watch.
Quote requests, fleet inquiries, equipment intake — each form becomes a task with everything the visitor typed, and a lead you can convert.
Agencies charge thousands to build a site and a monthly fee to keep it. Email hosting is another line. A booking tool is another. A chat widget is another. Shop Commander includes the website, its hosting and HTTPS, DNS hosting, email hosting, the booking page, the chat, the analytics and every branded link with every account, at $0/mo, for every user, forever. The only meter anywhere in the product is the phone network — a text message costs about two cents from prepaid credit, and you never have to turn texting on. The full pricing page says the same thing at greater length.
Website, email, branded links, booking, chat and analytics — built from your shop's own facts and wired into the shop system. Included with every account at $0/mo.
Free setup. Free migration. No credit card required.
