E-commerce Development

Is this the right service for you?

It usually is when one of these describes you:

• A retailer adding online sales alongside a physical store
• A brand whose hosted store cannot express its pricing, bundles or checkout rules
• A wholesaler that needs trade accounts, price lists and purchase-order payment
• A store owner losing sales to slow pages or an abandoned checkout

What's included

• Store planning around your products, catalog size, and buyers
• Product and category pages built for clarity and speed
• Short, trustworthy checkout with secure payment processing
• Tax, shipping, and discount rules configured for your market
• Inventory and order management setup
• Email receipts and abandoned-cart follow-up
• SEO structure for product and category pages
• Reporting so you can track sales and drop-off points

Where the scope line sits

Fixed prices depend on clear boundaries. The left column is what a standard quote for this service covers; the right column is work we can add, but which is priced on its own.

Covered by a standard quote	Priced separately
Store planning: catalog, payments, shipping, tax and fulfillment	Product photography and copy
Product, category, cart and checkout design	Bulk data cleanup (we script imports; clean data is yours to supply)
Platform setup or custom build and configuration	Marketplace feeds beyond a standard connector
Payment gateway integration and live test transactions	ERP, POS or accounting integrations (quoted separately)
Order emails, receipts and admin training	Platform, gateway, app and shipping subscription fees
Launch with real orders and early monitoring	Ongoing store maintenance (an optional plan)

How we approach it

1. Store planning. We map products, variants, pricing rules, payment methods, shipping zones, tax and fulfillment before choosing a platform. Output: a store specification and a fixed price.
2. Design. We design the category, product, cart and checkout experience for a shopper holding a phone. Output: approved store templates.
3. Build and configure. We set up the platform or build the custom store, connect payments and shipping, and load products. Output: a staging store that takes test orders.
4. Test. We place orders through every payment method, refund one, apply coupons, and test shipping and stock edge cases. Output: a signed-off test log.
5. Launch. We import final products, switch payments live, go live in a quiet window and watch the first orders. Output: a live store and trained staff.

What lands in your hands at the end

• Store code or configuration in a repository or account you own
• A written record of tax, shipping and payment settings
• Admin training on orders, refunds, inventory and promotions
• Gateway, shipping and app accounts in your name
• A product import template for future bulk changes
• A defect warranty period on the launch

Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom store?

We build on all three. The right choice depends on catalog complexity, pricing rules, who maintains the store and how much you want to own.

Approach	Choose it when
Shopify	A straightforward catalog, no developer on staff and a preference for zero maintenance in exchange for platform fees and limits.
WooCommerce	Content and commerce on one site, custom pricing or checkout rules, and full ownership with no per-transaction platform fee.
Custom (Next.js with a commerce backend)	High volume, unusual buying flows, B2B rules or a store that is really an application.
Headless Shopify	You want Shopify's back office with a custom, very fast front end.

Technologies we use

• Shopify
• WooCommerce
• Next.js
• React
• Stripe
• Node.js
• TypeScript
• PostgreSQL

What moves the price

There is no rate card for this service because the range is too wide to be honest about in one number. After a free call you get a fixed quote; these are the inputs that decide it.

• Catalog size and variants. Configurable products with many attributes take longer to model, import and test.
• Payment and shipping rules. Multiple gateways, live carrier rates, pickup and free-shipping logic add setup and tests.
• Pricing and B2B logic. Trade tiers, quantity breaks and account approval need apps or custom code.
• Migration. Moving products, customers, orders and URLs safely from another platform is its own project.
• Integrations. POS, inventory, accounting and fulfillment connections each need work and edge-case testing.
• Traffic expectations. Stores expecting launch or sale spikes need extra performance work and load testing.

The pricing page explains how we scope and quote. To get a written estimate, describe the project on the contact page.

Typical timeline

A standard store launches in 4 to 8 weeks. Migrations, B2B pricing or several integrations push it to around 10 weeks.

• Product data and photo readiness.
• Gateway approval and live-mode activation.
• Whether an existing store must keep trading during the switch.

What can go wrong, and how we prevent it

• Lost orders at checkout. Every payment path is tested with real transactions and failed-order alerts are on before launch.
• Wrong tax or shipping charged. Rules are documented, configured on staging and confirmed with test orders per destination.
• Slow catalog pages. Image optimization, caching and a short app list are part of the build, measured before and after.

An illustrative example

Illustrative only. A coffee roaster with 60 products, two subscription plans and a wholesale list wants to leave a marketplace-style platform. Planning and design take two weeks, the build and migration four, testing one, and launch lands around week eight with subscriptions and trade pricing live.

Why choose us

• Checkout built to reduce friction and lift completed orders
• Fast pages that hold attention and help rankings
