What it is
Tiendanube is an ecommerce platform founded in Argentina, part of the same group as Nuvemshop, its brand in Brazil. You can build a store without code, with templates, local payment methods and shipping, and plans are billed in local currency in its main markets. It's built for Latin American entrepreneurs and small businesses that want to sell online without English-only tools or dollar billing.
How to use it
- Build your store with a template, your catalog and your domain.
- Accept local payment methods like Mercado Pago, with cards, bank transfers or cash depending on the country.
- Set up shipping with local logistics companies, zone-based rates and in-store pickup.
- Sell on Instagram and Facebook by connecting your catalog.
- Add apps from its marketplace for invoicing, marketing or logistics.
What it's good for
- An accessories seller in Buenos Aires who sells on Instagram and wants a store with installment payments.
- A clothing store in Mexico City that wants to accept cards and OXXO cash payments without complex gateway setup.
- A small brand looking for Spanish-language support and a platform that doesn't bill in dollars.
