Overview
A storefront is only the visible part of commerce.
Behind every order there is a catalogue to maintain, stock to reserve, a payment to confirm, an order to fulfil and a customer to keep informed. When those steps live in disconnected tools, mistakes reach customers.
We design the whole flow, from product data to delivery updates, and build the storefront, checkout and back-office tools around it. Where you already run systems for stock, accounting or fulfilment, we integrate with them instead of replacing them.
Custom commerce makes sense when
- Pricing, catalogue or ordering rules are specific to you
- You sell to businesses as well as consumers
- Orders must flow into existing ERP or inventory systems
- Hosted platforms need too many paid extensions or workarounds

Engagement process
How a project runs, from first call to continuous improvement.
Every engagement follows the same five stages. The depth of each stage scales with the size and risk of the work.
Discover
Understand the business goal, the current process, the users and the systems involved.
Define
Agree scope, priorities, architecture and a delivery plan you can review before work starts.
Develop
Build in short iterations with regular demos, so feedback shapes the product as it grows.
Deliver
Test, deploy and hand over with documentation, training where needed and a clear support path.
Evolve
Monitor, maintain and extend the solution as the business and its requirements change.
FAQs
Questions about e-commerce development.
Should we use a hosted platform or build a custom store?
A hosted platform is often the quickest route for a standard catalogue and checkout. A custom build is worth considering when your pricing, ordering or fulfilment rules are specific, when orders must flow into existing systems, or when extensions and workarounds are adding up. We can help you compare both.
Which payment gateways can you integrate?
We integrate the gateway that suits your markets, currencies and existing agreements. We use the provider’s hosted or tokenised payment flows, so card details are handled by the payment provider rather than stored in your platform.
Can the store connect to our inventory or ERP system?
Yes. Inventory and order integration is a core part of most projects. We agree which system owns each type of data and how often it synchronises.
Do you build B2B ordering portals?
Yes. Business buyers often need account-specific pricing, quick reorders, bulk ordering, credit terms or approval steps. These are designed into the platform rather than added as workarounds.
Can you add a mobile app for our store?
Yes. A shared API lets a mobile app use the same catalogue, cart, accounts and orders as the website. See our mobile app development service for the options.
