Why businesses come to us for ecommerce development.

01

Selling through DMs and e-Transfers

Taking orders by message and email does not scale and loses sales after hours.

Our fix — a store that takes payment and sends confirmations around the clock.
02

Abandoned carts

Surprise shipping costs and long checkouts make shoppers leave before paying.

Our fix — clear shipping rules, a short checkout and cart recovery emails.
03

Products nobody finds

Thin product pages rarely show up on Google or in shopping results.

Our fix — product SEO, structured data and a Google Merchant Center feed.

FAQ

Ecommerce development questions.

If your question is not here, ask it on the free consultation call.

Shopify or WooCommerce?

Shopify for most stores, because hosting, security and checkout are handled for you. WooCommerce when you already run WordPress or want to avoid monthly platform fees.

How much does an online store cost?

It depends on the number of products and the features you need. Prices for each package are in the pricing table on our web development page, and you always get a fixed quote before any work starts.

Can you move my store from another platform?

Yes. We migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it, and set up redirects so you keep your Google rankings.

Do you handle sales tax and VAT?

We configure the taxes you charge, such as GST, HST and PST in Canada, US sales tax or VAT in the UK and EU. Your accountant should confirm which taxes apply to you.
