Catalogs, orders, operations
E-commerce Development
We build e-commerce when the catalog, pricing, or fulfillment model does not fit a standard storefront. The storefront matters; the order pipeline, inventory, and integrations matter more.
The problem
Where teams get stuck
Theme-based stores work until pricing rules, B2B accounts, or warehouse processes appear. Then the business is fighting the platform instead of selling.
The approach
What we actually do
We design commerce as a system: catalog, cart, checkout, payments, inventory, and fulfillment as explicit parts. Where a mature platform is the right base, we extend it carefully. Where the domain is too specific, we build the application around the order lifecycle.
What we build
Deliverables with an operator in mind
- B2B and wholesale storefronts
- Custom catalogs with complex pricing
- Checkout and payment flows
- Order management and fulfillment tools
- Inventory and warehouse-facing interfaces
- Integrations with shipping, accounting, and ERPs

Capabilities
How an engagement is staffed
- Catalog and pricing models that match how you actually sell
- Order states that warehouse and support teams can trust
- Payment and tax integrations appropriate to the market
- Operational admin, not only a customer-facing theme
- Performance work for large catalogs and search
Use cases
When this is the right path
- A wholesaler that needs account-specific pricing and purchase orders
- A brand whose fulfillment process is more complex than a standard Shopify theme allows
- A company selling through a storefront and a sales team that must share inventory

Process
Same delivery path, scoped to this problem
-
01
Discovery
We map the real workflow, the systems already in place, and the constraint that is actually hurting. The output is a problem statement, not a mood board.
-
02
Architecture
Domain boundaries, data model, integrations, and the thinnest product that could go into production. Decisions are written so they can be revisited.
-
03
Design
Interface structure for the people who will live in the software: the empty states, the exceptions, and the screens that never appear in a pitch.
-
04
Development
Implementation in small, reviewable slices. You can see a working path early rather than waiting for a big reveal.

FAQ
E-commerce Development
Do you build on Shopify or a custom stack? +
It depends on the commerce model. If a platform already fits, we will not rebuild it for sport. If account pricing, inventory, or fulfillment cannot be expressed there without fighting the platform, we build a dedicated system.
Can you connect a store to our warehouse or ERP? +
Yes. Most serious commerce work is integration work: stock levels, order export, tracking, and invoicing. We treat those connections as part of the product.
What about headless commerce? +
Headless is useful when you need a custom storefront on top of a stable commerce engine. It is extra moving parts. We recommend it when the interface and the merchandising model actually need that split.
