What we build

E-commerce development capabilities

We build what off-the-shelf e-commerce platforms cannot. Custom software for businesses with requirements that have outgrown the plugin ecosystem.

  • Custom marketplace & multi-vendor platforms

    We build multi-vendor marketplaces from the ground up: seller onboarding, product catalogues, payment splits, commission structures, and order management across vendors.

  • D2C storefront development (beyond off-the-shelf)

    When Shopify themes and plugins stop fitting your requirements, we build the custom layer on top, or build entirely bespoke when the product warrants it.

  • Post-sale customer retention tools

    QR-powered post-sale platforms that give marketplace sellers what Amazon never will: their own customer relationships, contact data, and re-engagement tools.

  • Product image processing & automation

    ML-powered pipelines that take raw product photos and deliver background-removed, optimized, S3-ready images automatically — we reduced a 3-day backlog to under 5 minutes for a US watch retailer.

  • eBay, Amazon, and marketplace integrations

    Real integration experience with the eBay Developers SDK, Amazon SP-API, and marketplace webhooks. Not just read APIs — bidirectional sync, order ingestion, and listing management.

  • E-commerce AI (recommendations, search, chatbots)

    Product recommendation engines, semantic search, and AI chatbots grounded in your actual product data — answering customer questions accurately without hallucinating prices or product names.

FAQ

Questions about e-commerce development

Do you build on Shopify or custom?

Both, and we recommend based on your scale and requirements. Shopify is right when its capabilities match your needs and speed to market matters. Custom development is right when your workflows, pricing logic, or customer experience have outgrown what Shopify plugins can do. We help you make that call honestly.

Can you integrate with Amazon or eBay?

Yes. We have real integration experience with the eBay Developers SDK, including seller APIs, listing management, and order ingestion. We have also worked with the Amazon SP-API for marketplace operations. These are bidirectional integrations, not just read-only data pulls.

What is the difference between your work and a Shopify agency?

A Shopify agency works within the platform. We build what the platform cannot do: custom multi-vendor marketplaces, post-sale customer data platforms, automated image processing pipelines, and AI tools grounded in your product catalogue. When you need software that does not exist yet, that is when you hire us.

Do you build mobile apps for e-commerce?

Yes. We build native iOS (Swift) and Android (Kotlin) apps, and cross-platform React Native apps where appropriate. For e-commerce, this includes customer-facing shopping apps, seller apps, and internal tools for warehouse or operations teams.

Can you automate our product image workflow?

Yes. We built an automated pipeline for a US-based watch retailer that processes 1,500+ product images per week: background removal via ML model, image optimization, and direct upload to AWS S3. It reduced a 3-day manual backlog to under 5 minutes per image, at 80% lower cost per image than manual processing.
