Historical Mapping
These terms were renamed from the original codebase terminology:
| Old Term | New Term | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Company | Merchant | "Merchant" is industry-standard (Shopify, Stripe, Square) for the business entity selling on a platform |
| Vendor | Store | "Vendor" in e-commerce commonly means "supplier" (someone who sells TO a platform), not a seller on a platform. "Store" is unambiguous. |
Usage Guidelines
- Use Merchant when referring to the business entity, contracts, billing, legal matters
- Use Store when referring to the specific shop, its products, inventory, orders, and customer-facing operations
- Use Storefront only when referring to the customer-facing URL or display layer
- Never use "Company" or "Vendor" in new code — always use the terms above
