Run Comers Core in your own infrastructure
Keep the operational Core and its data in infrastructure your organization controls, while selected Comers platform and AI services remain available through controlled connections.
// 01 · DEPLOYMENT CHOICE
One Core. Two ways to run it.
Managed and self-hosted are two deployment choices around the same Comers Core — not two different products.
Comers operates the environment.
Core runs in infrastructure controlled by your organization.
Deployment changes. The operating model does not.
// 02 · DATA LOCATION
Keep operational data where you want it to live.
When Core runs in your environment, the operational data it handles — orders, products, supply, inventory, messages and shipments — can remain inside infrastructure your organization controls.
Your ecommerce operation does not have to move wholesale into somebody else’s runtime environment.
DATA CIRCULATES INSIDE THE BOUNDARY
// 03 · CONNECTED ARCHITECTURE
Self-hosted does not mean disconnected.
Core can stay with you while selected shared Comers services remain connected — so self-hosted never has to become a permanently isolated fork.
Conceptual view. Which services connect, and how, depends on the deployment.
Keep the boundary. Keep the ecosystem.
// 04 · SAME PRODUCT
Self-hosted is a deployment model, not a second product.
The same operational domains, working as one connected context — wherever Core runs.
Your infrastructure should not require a different Comers.
// 05 · MORE CONTROL
Fit Core into the infrastructure standards you already operate.
Core runs inside infrastructure controlled by your organization.
Operational data handled by Core can remain inside that environment.
Fit the deployment into your own networking and access model.
Use your organization’s infrastructure, monitoring, backup and operational practices where applicable.
Integrate Comers into a broader enterprise architecture instead of forcing everything into one vendor-hosted environment.
// 06 · WHEN SELF-HOSTED MAKES SENSE
For organizations that need more control over the operating environment.
If none of these describe you, managed Comers is likely the simpler choice.
Your technical team already owns production systems and operational standards.
You need tighter control over where operational commerce data is stored.
You want the operational platform to become part of an existing system landscape.
Networking, backups, observability and access are already governed by internal practices.
// 07 · OPERATING MODEL
More control also means more responsibility.
Self-hosted is not maintenance-free. Running Core in your environment moves part of the operational work to your team.
The exact responsibility model depends on the deployment and commercial agreement.
// 08 · YOUR DEPLOYMENT MODEL
Choose the operating model that fits your organization.
Neither is the better one in general. Self-hosted is for organizations that actually need it.
- Lower infrastructure ownership
- Comers-operated environment
- Infrastructure controlled by your organization
- More operational control
- More customer-side infrastructure responsibility
FAQ
Questions about self-hosted Comers
Is self-hosted a different edition of Comers Core?
No. Self-hosted is a deployment model for Comers Core, not a separate reduced product. Exact functionality can still depend on plan, version and connected services.
Where does operational data live?
Core runs inside infrastructure controlled by your organization, allowing operational data handled by Core to remain inside that environment.
Can self-hosted operate completely disconnected from Comers?
Do not assume so. Selected platform, identity or AI capabilities may require controlled connectivity to Comers services, depending on the deployment.
Can we use managed Comers instead?
Yes. Comers Core is designed to support both managed and self-hosted deployment models.
Does self-hosted automatically provide regulatory compliance?
No. Compliance depends on the complete deployment, configuration, organizational processes and the requirements that apply to you.
Keep Core where you want operational control.
