E-commerce Development & Optimization

Stores that sell, not just stores that launch.

Build, fix, integrate and scale an ecommerce store that converts. We develop and repair WooCommerce and Shopify stores, connect them to payments, CRM, ERP, inventory and shipping systems, and fix the technical problems behind lost sales.

Most of the e-commerce work we take on is repair rather than a fresh build. A store that was fine at launch has since collected thirty plugins, a slow checkout and an inventory count nobody trusts. That is usually a cheaper problem to fix than to rebuild, and we will say so before quoting a rebuild.

Is Your Ecommerce Store Costing You Sales?

Most stores do not fail loudly. They leak: a few percent at the product page, a few more at checkout, an order a day lost to a stock error. These are the technical problems we see most often, and almost all of them can be fixed without a rebuild.

Slow product pages

Heavy themes, uncompressed images and scripts loading on every page push buyers away before the add-to-cart button renders.

Slow mobile experience

Most ecommerce traffic is mobile. A store that feels fine on a desktop can still lose most of its sales on a phone.

Customers abandoning checkout

Extra steps, failing address validation, surprise shipping costs and slow payment screens all show up as lost orders.

Payment failures

Gateway misconfiguration, 3D Secure problems and webhook errors leave paid orders stuck as pending, or worse, unpaid orders marked complete.

Inventory inconsistencies

Stock that is right in the warehouse and wrong on the site sells products you do not have and hides products you do.

Too many plugins or apps

Thirty extensions with overlapping jobs slow the store down, conflict with each other and make every update a risk.

Broken integrations

A sync that silently stopped months ago is one of the most common things we find on a first audit.

Manual order processing

Orders copied by hand into accounting, shipping or ERP systems cost staff time and introduce errors.

CRM and ERP not synchronized

Customers, orders and invoices that live in three places and agree in none of them.

Shipping workflow problems

Wrong rates at checkout, labels created manually, tracking numbers never sent back to the customer.

Poor product filtering and management

Buyers cannot narrow down the catalogue, and the team cannot manage variations, bundles or pricing without workarounds.

SEO drops and poor Core Web Vitals

Rankings lost after a migration or redesign, missing redirects, duplicate URLs and vitals scores that hold the store back in search.

Start With an Ecommerce Audit

The diagnostic comes before the rebuild. We start with a fixed-scope audit rather than a proposal. It measures what the store is actually losing: where buyers drop out between the product page and the confirmation screen, which plugins are costing you load time, and whether the theme, the hosting or the database is the real bottleneck.

Findings are ranked by revenue impact rather than by technical severity, because the ugliest problem in the code is rarely the one costing you the most money. The report is yours to keep and act on, whether or not you hire us to do the fixes.

What the audit examines

01

Audit

We examine the current store and identify the highest-impact problems, measured against real traffic and order data.

02

Prioritize

Problems are ranked according to business and revenue impact, not by how alarming they look in the code.

03

Improve

You receive a practical roadmap for fixing the issues, with the option to have us implement it or hand it to your own team.

You don’t need to rebuild your store just because it has problems. The audit tells you which fixes pay for themselves and which do not.

On a store, speed is a revenue number

Core Web Vitals are not an SEO checkbox once there is a checkout involved. In case studies published by Google, Vodafone cut largest contentful paint by 31 percent and saw sales rise 8 percent, and Lazada improved mobile vitals and saw mobile conversion rise close to 17 percent. The mechanism is not mysterious. People abandon slow checkouts.

On WooCommerce the wins are usually unglamorous: stores still running legacy order storage instead of high performance order storage, plugins loading their scripts on every page including the ones that do not use them, and product images nobody ever compressed.

Someone labelling a package for shipping

Faster stores create better buying experiences. This is what the work usually involves.

Image optimization

Correct sizing, modern formats, lazy loading and a pipeline that handles new product images automatically.

Caching and CDN

Page, object and edge caching configured so logged-in carts and checkout stay dynamic while everything else is served fast.

Database and order storage

WooCommerce high performance order storage, index review and cleanup of tables that grow with every order.

Plugin and app review

Removing overlapping extensions and stopping scripts from loading on pages that never use them.

JavaScript management

Deferring, splitting and trimming third-party scripts so tracking and chat widgets stop blocking the product page.

Hosting evaluation

Checking whether the server, PHP configuration and stack fit the store's traffic before spending money on a migration.

Mobile performance

Core Web Vitals measured on real mobile devices, which is where most of your buyers are.

Checkout performance

The one page where a slow request costs an order, tuned separately from the rest of the site.

Optimize Every Step of the Ecommerce Journey

A sale passes through nine stages between a search result and a fulfilled order. Each one is a place where a technical problem can quietly cost you the sale.

Optimization is not a redesign

Ecommerce optimization is not only about making a website look better. Every step above depends on a technical system: search results depend on the store architecture, product pages on the theme and image pipeline, checkout on payment and shipping integrations, and the order on whatever CRM, ERP or fulfillment system has to receive it.

We improve the technology connecting each stage, so the gains compound: more of the visitors who arrive become orders, and more of those orders flow through the business without manual work.

Where the technical work happens

Connect Your Store to the Systems Your Business Already Uses

An ecommerce store rarely operates alone. Orders have to reach accounting, stock has to come from the warehouse, and the customer record belongs in the CRM. We build ecommerce integrations for WooCommerce, Shopify and custom platforms, using native APIs where they exist and custom middleware where they do not, with the retries, logging and error handling a business process needs. Related work is described on our API integration and CRM development pages.

CRM systems

Customers, orders and lifetime value pushed into the CRM, and segments or deals pushed back to the store.

ERP systems

Two-way order, invoice and stock synchronization so the ERP stays the source of truth.

Accounting software

Orders, refunds and fees posted as bookable transactions instead of exported spreadsheets.

Inventory and warehouse systems

Stock levels, locations and reservations kept in step across channels.

Payment gateways

Gateways, wallets, instalments and local methods, with webhooks that reconcile reliably.

Shipping platforms

Live rates at checkout, label generation and tracking numbers sent back to the customer.

Marketing and email platforms

Purchase and behaviour events for automation, abandoned-cart flows and segmentation.

Customer support systems

Order history and shipment status visible inside the helpdesk when a ticket arrives.

Analytics

Server-side and client-side tracking that reports the same numbers your order table does.

APIs and custom software

Internal tools, supplier feeds, marketplaces and any system with an API or a file interface.

WooCommerce Development & Customization

WooCommerce is at its best when the business logic does not fit a template: customer-specific pricing, products that need configuring, a checkout that has to ask different questions for different order types, or an inventory that lives in another system. We treat it as a development platform and build that logic properly, in plugins and integrations, rather than stacking extensions until something breaks.

Most WooCommerce projects we take on start with an existing store. Slow product pages, a checkout that fails for some payment methods, stock that drifts out of sync, or a plugin set nobody dares update. In those cases we fix what is there and extend it. A fresh build is the exception, and we say so up front.

We also build and maintain WooCommerce plugins for functionality that does not exist off the shelf.

What we build and fix on WooCommerce

Shopify Development & Integration

Shopify handles hosting, uptime and PCI scope for you. What it does not handle is the rest of your business: the ERP that owns stock, the CRM that owns the customer, the accounting system that owns the invoice, and the pricing rules that do not fit a standard product page. That is where the development work is.

We customize Shopify themes, build against the Storefront and Admin APIs, connect Shopify to the systems around it, and migrate stores onto and off the platform. Where an app from the store already solves the problem well, we will recommend it rather than build a replacement. Custom Shopify extensions are for the cases where nothing on the shelf fits.

Shopify work we take on

WooCommerce or Shopify, answered honestly

Shopify adds up to 2 percent on top of card processing if you use a third-party gateway, and you rent a checkout you cannot fully control. WooCommerce is free until you add hosting and extensions that renew every year, per site. Neither is cheap. They are expensive in different places.

Shopify wins when you want uptime, a smaller PCI scope, and no developer on retainer. WooCommerce wins on gateway freedom, on owning your content and search presence, and on business logic that refuses to fit a template. We will tell you which one describes you before anyone signs anything.

Not sure which platform fits your business? We can evaluate your requirements, order volume, integrations and gateway costs before any development begins, and tell you plainly which one describes you.

When Standard Ecommerce Features Aren't Enough

Some businesses cannot operate on standard plugins and apps alone. A wholesaler with negotiated prices per customer, a manufacturer whose products have to be configured before they can be priced, a distributor whose stock lives in an ERP that must stay authoritative. Forcing that into an off-the-shelf extension produces workarounds, and workarounds produce errors.

We are a development company, not only an ecommerce agency. When the requirement is specific to your business, we write the code for it: plugins, apps, middleware and integrations built to your rules and maintained alongside the platform. Related capabilities are described under web development and API integration.

Custom and customer-specific pricing

Price lists, tiers, contract prices and quantity breaks applied at product, cart and checkout level.

B2B accounts and wholesale

Account approval, credit terms, purchase orders, sub-users and separate wholesale catalogues.

Product configurators

Step-by-step configuration with dependent options, validation and calculated pricing.

Custom checkout and order logic

Conditional fields, approval steps, split shipments and order workflows that match how you actually fulfil.

Inventory and ERP synchronization

Stock, orders and invoices kept consistent across systems with retries, logging and reconciliation.

Automated business processes

Supplier feeds, marketplace listings, external APIs and the manual steps in between, automated.

Planning an Ecommerce Migration?

We migrate stores between Shopify and WooCommerce in either direction, and from older or custom platforms onto both. The store data itself is the easy part. The projects that go wrong are the ones that treat a migration as a data export rather than a change to every system connected to the store.

A migration plan covers the catalogue, the customers and their order history, every URL the old store ranked for and the redirects that protect it, the payment and shipping setups that have to keep working on day one, and the integrations that need re-pointing. We test on a staging copy against real orders before anything switches over.

Migration paths

What the plan has to cover

E-commerce SEO Starts With the Store Architecture

Most ecommerce SEO problems are development problems. Faceted navigation that creates thousands of crawlable filter URLs, product variations that produce duplicate pages, category structures that bury products four clicks deep, canonical tags pointing the wrong way, product schema missing the price and availability Google wants to show, and a migration that dropped the redirects. None of that is fixed by writing more content.

We build and repair the technical layer that search engines see: URL structure, internal linking, indexation rules, structured data, page speed and mobile usability. It is the same work that makes the store faster for buyers, which is why we treat SEO and performance as one project rather than two.

Technical SEO areas we work on

E-commerce Solutions for Different Business Models

Off-the-shelf ecommerce assumes a simple retail model: one price, one catalogue, one currency, a cart and a card. Each business model below breaks that assumption somewhere, and that is usually where custom development is needed.

Retail

Large catalogues, seasonal peaks and a mobile checkout that has to stay fast when traffic spikes.

B2B ecommerce

Account approval, customer-specific pricing, purchase orders and invoicing terms that consumer platforms do not offer by default.

Wholesale

Tiered and quantity-based pricing, minimum orders and a separate catalogue for trade customers.

Manufacturers

Configurable or made-to-order products, lead times and stock that lives in an ERP or production system.

Subscription businesses

Recurring billing, plan changes, failed-payment recovery and subscription data synced to CRM and accounting.

Multi-product stores

Complex variations, bundles, filtering and product data management across thousands of SKUs.

Service businesses selling online

Bookings, deposits, quotes and services that need custom checkout steps rather than a standard cart.

International ecommerce

Regional pricing, taxes, shipping zones and payment methods that differ by country.

Multi-language stores

Translated catalogues, hreflang, localized checkout and content kept in sync across languages.

Multi-currency stores

Currency switching, gateway support per currency and consistent pricing across markets.

Our Development Process

The same sequence applies whether we are building a new store or repairing an existing one. The assessment step is what keeps us from recommending a rebuild that the business does not need.

01

Discovery

Understand products, customers, operations and the business requirements behind the store.

02

Technical Assessment

Review the existing platform, integrations, data and infrastructure before anything is proposed.

03

Architecture

Define the ecommerce platform, the integrations and the functionality that has to be built or bought.

04

Development

Build the store or improve the existing one, in plugins, apps and code that survive platform updates.

05

Integration

Connect payments, CRM, ERP, inventory, shipping and the other systems the order has to reach.

06

Testing

Test products, checkout, payments, mobile experience and integrations against real order scenarios.

07

Launch

Deploy the store, handle redirects and cut-over, and monitor the transition closely.

08

Optimization

Continue improving performance, SEO and conversion, measured against the store’s own numbers.

More Than an Ecommerce Website

Your store is part of a larger business system. We build and connect the technology around it, which is a different job from designing a storefront. This is what that looks like in practice.

Development-first approach

We write plugins, apps and integrations rather than assembling extensions and hoping they cooperate.

Ecommerce and API integration

Stores connected to CRM, ERP, accounting, inventory and shipping systems, with the error handling a business process needs.

WooCommerce expertise

Custom functionality, checkout work, performance and troubleshooting on stores of all sizes.

Shopify development

Theme work, API integrations and migrations, with honest advice on when Shopify is the wrong fit.

Payment integrations

Gateways, webhooks and reconciliation built to be reliable, described further under payment integration.

Custom business logic

Pricing, B2B accounts, configurators and order workflows that standard platforms do not offer.

Performance optimization

Speed treated as a revenue number and measured where buyers are, on mobile.

Existing-store troubleshooting

Most of our work is repair. We fix what is there before proposing anything new.

Technical SEO awareness

Architecture, indexation and migrations handled so search visibility is protected, not rebuilt from zero.

Straight recommendations

If an off-the-shelf app or a different platform is the better buy, we say so before you spend anything.

Frequently Asked Questions

Straight answers to the questions we are asked most often about ecommerce development, integration and migration.

Ecommerce development is the technical work of building, customizing and maintaining an online store: the platform (WooCommerce, Shopify or custom), the product catalogue, the checkout, the payment and shipping systems, and the integrations that connect orders to the rest of the business. It also covers performance, security and technical SEO of the store.
It depends on the platform, the size of the catalogue, how far the checkout and pricing depart from standard behaviour, and how many systems have to be integrated. A fix to an existing store is usually far cheaper than a rebuild, which is why we start with an audit and a scoped quote rather than a package price. We will tell you which category your project falls into before you commit.
Yes. We build new WooCommerce stores and, more often, extend and repair existing ones: custom functionality, checkout changes, payment and shipping integration, performance work and plugin development.
Yes. We customize Shopify themes, integrate apps, build against the Shopify APIs, connect Shopify to CRM, ERP and inventory systems, and migrate stores onto or off the platform.
Yes. Most of our WooCommerce work is on stores that already exist. We add functionality through plugins and integrations rather than editing theme or core files, so your customizations survive updates.
Yes. We migrate products, variations, customers, order history and URLs, set up redirects to protect search rankings, and re-point payment, shipping and integration setups on the new store.
Yes. The process is the same in reverse, with particular attention to Shopify’s data model for variations, customer accounts and URL structure, and to any custom logic that has to be rebuilt as a Shopify app or integration.
Yes. We sync customers, orders and purchase history from WooCommerce into CRM systems, and where useful push segments, deals or contact status back into the store. This can be built on the CRM’s native API or through custom middleware.
Yes. ERP integration typically covers products and pricing from the ERP to the store, orders from the store to the ERP, and stock levels kept in sync in both directions, with logging and reconciliation so nothing is silently lost.
Yes. We integrate and troubleshoot payment gateways, wallets, instalment providers and local payment methods on WooCommerce, Shopify and custom platforms, including webhook handling so order status and payment status stay consistent.
Yes. We connect stores to carriers and shipping platforms for live rates at checkout, label generation, fulfillment updates and tracking numbers sent back to the customer.
Yes. Typical work includes image optimization, caching, database and order storage optimization, plugin review, script management and hosting evaluation, measured on mobile where most buyers are.
Yes. We start by measuring where the time goes, on the product page, in the theme, in the database or at the host, and fix the causes in order of impact rather than applying generic speed plugins.
Yes, at the technical level: URL structure, category architecture, internal linking, canonical tags, faceted navigation, structured data, page speed, mobile usability and migration redirects. We do not write marketing content, but we build the architecture it needs to rank.
Yes. Custom pricing, B2B and wholesale accounts, product configurators, custom checkout and order workflows, advanced product rules and automated business processes are the kind of requirements we build when standard plugins and apps do not fit.
Yes. We build API integrations between ecommerce platforms and external systems, including REST and GraphQL APIs, webhooks, scheduled synchronization and file-based exchanges where a system has no API, with retries and monitoring built in.
A targeted fix or single integration can take days. A store build with several integrations is typically measured in weeks, and a migration depends heavily on catalogue size and the number of connected systems. We give a timeline after the assessment step, when the scope is actually known.
Yes, and it is most of what we do. We audit, fix, extend and integrate existing WooCommerce, Shopify and custom stores, and we will say when a rebuild is genuinely the cheaper option.
