Our mission

​We are creating a unified commerce ecosystem where merchants, sales channels and consumers are networked together and can transact through one cohesive, digital purchase experience.

 

All merchants should have access to the best possible commerce tech.  All consumers should be able to buy easily and safely - with any device and on any channel and with any merchant.  Our mission is to provide this.

 

We seek to revolutionize digital commerce and to democratize trade. SkyMode is a cloud-based suite of merchant services, and at the core of these services is our unprecedented “Checkout” experience. SkyMode is going to unleash the most modern commerce technologies to every business in the world, arming them with best-of-breed consumer experience and liberating merchants to operate independent-of or alongside-of the Amazons our time – we will be a great equalizer.

By the way, we are based in Seattle, WA.
