Business Applications & E-commerce
E-commerce Development: Shopify & WooCommerce
We build, migrate and improve online stores on Shopify and WooCommerce for small and mid-sized businesses, including payment gateways, shipping and inventory integrations, headless storefronts and speed optimisation.
What e-commerce services do we offer?
- New store builds: Shopify and WooCommerce stores designed around your products and customers.
- Store migrations: moving products, customers, orders and URLs from Magento, older WooCommerce sites, Wix or other platforms, with redirects to protect SEO.
- Custom themes and features: product configurators, subscriptions, bundles, B2B pricing and custom checkout logic where the platform allows.
- Headless commerce: a fast Next.js storefront connected to Shopify or WooCommerce for brands that need more design freedom and speed.
- Speed optimisation: Core Web Vitals improvements, image optimisation and app or plugin clean-up.
Which payment, shipping and inventory systems can you integrate?
We integrate the providers your customers and markets need, and confirm availability for your country and currency during scoping.
- Payments: Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Payments, Razorpay for India, and regional card and wallet gateways commonly used in the Middle East.
- Shipping: carrier rates, label printing and tracking through shipping apps or direct carrier APIs.
- Inventory and orders: sync with warehouse systems, marketplaces, ERPs and accounting software.
- Marketing: email, reviews, analytics and ad-platform tracking set up correctly.
Shopify or WooCommerce: which is right for you?
Shopify is a hosted platform that is quick to launch and simple to manage, which suits most product businesses that want less technical upkeep. WooCommerce runs on WordPress and gives you more control over hosting, content and custom features. We recommend a platform after understanding your catalogue, markets, budget and team.
How does the process work?
- Discovery: products, markets, payment and shipping needs, and any systems to connect.
- Design: store layout and key pages, focused on product discovery and a clear checkout.
- Build and integrate: theme, apps or plugins, payments, shipping and data imports.
- Test: orders, taxes, discounts and emails tested end to end before launch.
- Launch and support: go live, monitor and keep improving.

E-commerce Development: Shopify & WooCommerce: FAQs
Should I choose Shopify or WooCommerce for my online store?
Choose Shopify if you want a hosted platform that is fast to launch and needs little technical maintenance. Choose WooCommerce if you want full control of hosting and code, already use WordPress, or need heavily customised features.
Can you migrate my store without losing SEO rankings?
Yes. We migrate products, customers and orders, keep URLs where possible and set up redirects for any that change. We also carry over metadata and check indexing after launch.
Which payment gateways can you set up?
We commonly set up Stripe, PayPal, Shopify Payments and Razorpay, as well as regional gateways used in the Middle East and other markets. Availability depends on your business location, currency and platform, which we confirm during scoping.
What is headless commerce and do I need it?
Headless commerce uses a separate front end, such as a Next.js site, while Shopify or WooCommerce runs products, carts and orders behind the scenes. It suits brands that need maximum speed or custom design; most smaller stores are well served by a standard theme.
