What it is
E-commerce platform development covers the design and build of online retail systems — product catalogue, checkout, payment processing, order management, inventory, and fulfilment integration — either as fully custom applications or as customised implementations of headless commerce frameworks.
What you get
Most e-commerce projects focus on the storefront and underinvest in the operational systems. A beautiful product page does not help when checkout has a 15% error rate, inventory oversells because the system does not sync in real time, or customer support cannot see order history. We scope the full operation, not just the customer-facing interface.
For brands with standard commerce requirements, we build on Shopify or Medusa — frameworks that provide inventory, orders, payments, and fulfilment out of the box with headless frontends for performance and design freedom. For marketplaces, B2B platforms, or heavily customised requirements, we build custom on Next.js with Stripe and a purpose-built order management backend.
Performance is a commercial metric. A one-second delay in page load reduces conversion by 7%. We optimise for Core Web Vitals, implement edge caching for product pages, and load-test checkout flows against your peak traffic scenarios before launch.
Key capabilities
Each engagement is scoped to your requirements — these are the core capabilities we bring to the table.
Multi-currency and multi-language support
B2B features: account pricing, purchase orders, net terms
Marketplace architecture for multi-vendor selling
Core Web Vitals optimisation and load testing
ERP and WMS integration for fulfilment automation
Our process
A structured, engineering-led approach that moves from understanding your goals to a production system — with no handoff surprises.
Typical engagement
8–16 WEEKS
We map your goals, constraints, and existing infrastructure. Scope is defined and success criteria agreed before any development begins.
We design the technical approach, select the right tools, and produce a milestone-driven delivery plan with no ambiguity.
Iterative development with regular demos. Code reviews, test coverage, and documentation happen in parallel — not at the end.
Production release with monitoring setup and handover documentation. We stay close during the first weeks post-launch.
Built with
Shopify handles 80% of direct-to-consumer commerce well. Build custom when: you are a B2B or marketplace with complex pricing logic, you have significant integration requirements with legacy ERP or logistics systems, you need data models Shopify cannot represent, or you have outgrown Shopify's API rate limits at scale.
We use hosted payment fields (Stripe Elements, Adyen Drop-in) to ensure card data never touches our servers, reducing PCI scope to SAQ A. Full PCI DSS compliance for platforms that store cardholder data requires a separate assessment process — we advise on scope during architecture design.
Yes. Migrations include: product catalogue and variant export/import, customer accounts (hashed passwords require a re-authentication flow at first login), historical orders for support continuity, SEO URL mapping to preserve search rankings, and a parallel running period to catch edge cases before full cutover.
