Fresh Store Instant (2017 to 2023)
Fresh Store Instant was our second-generation platform: the first version with hosting included, and stores that launched instantly. Here is what happened to it, from the founder.
Hi, I'm Carey
We finished Fresh Store Instant in 2017. It hosted your store for you and let you create stores instantly, hence the name. Members loved the speed, and we had many success stories.
But the platform sat on weak technical foundations. Development slowed, and I could not ship the features I really wanted to give our members. So we started again, properly, on cloud hosting. We called it FreshStore: a shorter, cleaner name for a platform that was by then over 12 years old.
FreshStore is the version I always wanted to build. Thank you to every Fresh Member who has been part of the journey from Fresh Store Builder, to Fresh Store Instant, and now to FreshStore.
Three generations of the same mission
The original downloadable software. You installed it on your own hosting and built Amazon and eBay affiliate stores. Read the FSB story.
Hosting included, instant store creation, no installs. Loved by members, limited by its foundations.
Rebuilt from scratch on Google Cloud with AI content and five marketplaces. Available exclusively at freshstore.com.
Looking for today's instant store creation? That lives on in Instant Stores, the ready-made niche store library inside FreshStore.
