E-commerce and Retail · Software development

E-commerce and Retail software, built by people who've done it before.

Custom storefronts, marketplaces, subscription commerce and the inventory, fulfilment and analytics systems behind them. Our e-commerce work is measured in conversion rate and page speed, so performance budgets and checkout testing are part of every sprint.

What makes it hard

The realities of e-commerce and retail software.

  • Checkout speed and reliability decide revenue; a slow product page is a lost sale
  • Inventory, orders, shipping and returns have to stay consistent across channels
  • Peak-day traffic is ten times normal and arrives without warning
  • Search, recommendations and personalization need real data plumbing
What we build

Solutions we've delivered in this sector.

  • Headless storefronts on Next.js
  • Marketplace and multi-vendor platforms
  • Inventory, order and fulfilment systems
  • Search, recommendations and personalization
  • Shopify and custom platform integrations

What we have built in e-commerce and marketplaces

E-commerce work has included Autoviz, a 3D and AR wheel configurator sold as SaaS to aftermarket brands, Cuts Like a Knife, a music licensing store with AI search, and two-sided marketplaces such as Seek My Service, Careflair and an influencer marketing platform with vendor onboarding, deals and back-office tooling. Payments, subscriptions and payouts run on Stripe and the app stores, as in LogFish. For the marketplace pattern in detail see marketplace development.

Compliance and integration checklist

  • Payment integration with tokenisation so card data never touches your servers
  • Performance budget: product pages under 2.5 seconds LCP on mobile, checkout under three steps
  • Inventory sync across channels with conflict handling and low-stock alerts
  • Shipping, tax and returns integrations (carriers, tax engines, RMA workflow)
  • Search and recommendation pipelines with analytics events for every interaction
  • GDPR and cookie consent handled correctly for EU customers
  • Load testing to at least ten times normal traffic before peak season
A custom or headless storefront MVP typically takes 8 to 14 weeks and $15k to $40k; a full marketplace runs 4 to 6 months and $50k to $150k+.
FAQ

E-commerce and Retail questions, answered.

Shopify or custom?

Shopify when the catalog and checkout are standard, custom or headless when you need a unique buying flow, complex pricing or a marketplace model. We build both.

Can you improve our Core Web Vitals?

Yes. Most storefronts we take over pass Core Web Vitals within one release after image, script and rendering fixes.

Do you build mobile commerce apps?

Yes, usually in Flutter or React Native, sharing the same backend as the web storefront.
