Akinon
Akinon is an enterprise commerce platform founded in Istanbul that serves large brands and retailers in Turkey, the Middle East and Europe. It provides the building blocks a retailer needs to run complex omnichannel operations: headless storefronts, an order management system (OMS), product information management (PIM), marketplace integrations, mobile apps and tools that connect online sales with physical stores.
Because it is headless and API-first, brands can build their own storefront experience while Akinon runs the commerce engine underneath. The OMS routes orders across warehouses and stores, supporting scenarios such as click and collect, ship from store and cross-channel returns. The PIM centralizes product content and pushes it to the web store, mobile apps and marketplaces, while marketplace integrations manage listings, stock and orders on major regional platforms from one place. Pricing is enterprise and quote-based, and projects usually involve an implementation phase with Akinon or a partner agency.
Akinon fits large fashion, retail and consumer brands that have outgrown SaaS storefronts and need to orchestrate stock and orders across many channels and countries. It is far more than a small or mid-size shop needs, and the budget and project timeline reflect that. Salesforce Commerce Cloud, commercetools and Shopify Plus are the main international alternatives, while ikas and Ideasoft serve smaller Turkish merchants.
Faprika
Faprika is a hosted e-commerce platform from Istanbul, run by İnovabil Teknoloji San. ve Tic. A.Ş. The company cites about 20 years of e-commerce experience and more than 3,000 brands on the platform. Its core job is to give Turkish merchants an online store plus one panel for orders, stock, shipping and e-invoicing across their own site and the big marketplaces.
Faprika connects to Trendyol, Hepsiburada, Amazon, n11, Temu, AliExpress and others, syncs stock, sends e-Fatura, e-Arşiv and e-İrsaliye documents, and plugs into Turkish payment providers such as iyzico, PayTR and Param, plus bank virtual POS. Other modules cover WhatsApp orders, dealer commissions, B2B wholesale, multi-currency export, warehouse management and FaprikAI for ads and content. Plans come in two families: Profesyonel (Start, Master, Ultimate, Elite) and Premium (Smart, Enterprise, Exclusive), plus a custom Private tier. Marketplace integrations only arrive from Ultimate upward.
Faprika suits Turkish SMBs and growing brands that sell on several marketplaces and want local invoicing and cargo handled in one place. Compared with ikas, it feels more traditional but offers deeper B2B and ERP options; Ticimax and İdeaSoft are its closest like-for-like rivals. Shopify is better for selling abroad with a global app ecosystem.
Buying tip: listed prices are starting prices tied to yearly payment, with campaigns such as pay one year, use 15 months and 12-month installments. Check whether VAT is included and which integrations are marked optional before choosing a tier.
