Node

What Node does

Node (legally IOwnMyData Inc) is a San Francisco-based commerce technology company founded in 2022 that operates an on-device platform enabling 1-click online transactions without requiring consumer account creation. The company addresses the tension between e-commerce convenience and consumer privacy by storing all purchase history, preferences, order details, and merchant communications exclusively on the consumer's own device, rather than on centralized servers. Its primary users are two-sided: e-commerce merchants — particularly Shopify-based retailers — seeking to recover revenue lost to guest checkout abandonment, and privacy-conscious consumers seeking frictionless checkout without account management, password resets, or email exposure. The company claims guest checkout abandonment rates above 70% and that guest checkout accounts for the majority of online purchases, framing this as the core addressable pain point.

Node's core technology centers on a tokenized email identifier and a Commerce Token system that allow consumers to interact with merchants via pseudonymous identifiers while retaining control of personal data. The platform is described as patented and uses a serverless architecture where messages are temporarily relayed but not persistently stored on Node's servers. The product portfolio comprises the Node Platform, the Commerce Token, the Tokenized Email Identifier, and rePete — a Shopify app co-built with Bold Commerce that brings Node's 1-click repeat purchase capability to the Shopify merchant base. No public or partner-facing API, SDK, or developer tools are documented.

The business model combines transaction fees from merchant partnerships with subscription or platform-service revenue from B2B integrations. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. Distribution is primarily through the Shopify App Store via the Bold Commerce / rePete partnership (reaching 100,000+ Shopify merchants), direct consumer downloads via nodemy.info, and direct enterprise sales for large merchants. Node has raised $2.75 million in seed funding from Neotribe Ventures (October 2023) and remains a privately held venture-backed company with no public listing, no disclosed revenue, and headcount in the 11-50 range.

Core offering

Node provides an on-device commerce platform that enables 1-click buying, offers, loyalty, communication, and subscriptions for merchants while letting consumers transact without creating accounts. All consumer purchase data and preferences are stored locally on the user's device via a Commerce Token, eliminating server-side personal data collection and reducing account-creation checkout drop-off.

Product overview

Node (operated by IOwnMyData Inc) offers an on-device commerce platform centered on two core concepts: the Node Platform itself and the Commerce Token. The platform eliminates traditional e-commerce friction (account creation, password resets, checkout drop-off) by storing consumer purchase history, preferences, and communications on the consumer's own device, shared selectively via a Commerce Token. For merchants, it provides 1-click buying, loyalty, and communication tools that convert guest users into customers without sign-ups. The product portfolio includes the core Node Platform/Commerce Token system, a Tokenized Email Identifier for privacy-preserving business communications, and rePete — a Shopify app (built with partner Bold Commerce) that leverages the Node platform to convert guest checkout shoppers into repeat purchasers. The company also operates at nodemy.info and holds patents related to its on-device commerce approach.

Scale indicators3 records

Recent moves3 records

Expansion highlights4 records

Direct peers

• Bolt: Bolt provides one-click checkout and network-based authentication for online merchants, directly competing with Node's guest-checkout-to-repeat-customer flow. Both target Shopify merchants and monetize via transaction fees tied to conversion lift.
• Fast: Fast offers a one-click checkout network that lets consumers pay anywhere with one account, directly overlapping Node's 1-click commerce thesis. Operates in the same e-commerce checkout and merchant conversion space as Node.

Emerging players

• Klarna: Klarna has expanded from BNPL into one-click consumer checkout and merchant integration, overlapping with Node's value proposition on guest checkout conversion and repeat purchases.
• Recharge Payments: Recharge powers subscriptions and repeat purchases for Shopify merchants, overlapping with Node's rePete value proposition around converting one-off guest shoppers into recurring customers.
• Skipify: Skipify focuses on converting guest checkout shoppers into recognized repeat customers with wallet-based identity, closely aligned with Node's guest-to-loyal-customer flow.
• RallyOn: Privacy-preserving checkout extensions on Shopify overlap with Node's merchant-side value proposition of reducing account-creation friction; comparable on Shopify app store distribution.

Broad incumbents

• Shop Pay: Shopify's native one-click checkout is the incumbent solution Node must dislodge on the Shopify platform; it offers passwordless checkout across Shopify merchants, making it the most direct comparator for Node's rePete integration.
• PayPal (Fastlane by PayPal): PayPal's Fastlane guest-checkout product targets the same friction point Node addresses: enabling guest shoppers to check out quickly and convert into recognized repeat customers, backed by PayPal's scale and merchant relationships.
• Apple Pay: Apple Pay provides passwordless, tokenized checkout across merchants via biometric authentication, and is positioned on the same privacy+friction-reduction axis that Node's Commerce Token addresses.

Others

• Bold Commerce: Bold Commerce is Node's channel partner and the co-builder of the rePete app, providing checkout and subscription tooling to over 100,000 Shopify merchants; a partner and adjacent infrastructure player rather than a direct competitor.
