eCommerce design that makes buying feel easy.

An online shop should express your brand and make the practical details easy: finding the right product, understanding delivery and completing the purchase.

Bring your storefront and the work behind it together.

Orders and stock

Connections to inventory, fulfilment and customer systems are scoped after checking their APIs, access and limits. We test success and failure paths before launch.

Migration and measurement

An agreed product and customer data migration, URL redirects where needed, and a measurement plan for the journey from product view to completed order.

Plan the connections behind your shop

Choose the store around your products and operations.

The platform decision starts with your catalogue, payment journey and fulfilment. A beautiful storefront is useful when the team can also run the shop behind it.

Scope, pricing and ongoing care

A straightforward online shop

For a conventional catalogue and checkout, assess an established commerce platform first. Compare product variants, shipping rules, staff access, supported payments and recurring fees before choosing the design route.

A more specialised buying journey

Trade pricing, subscriptions, product configuration or unusual fulfilment may require supported extensions or a custom interface. We check what the underlying platform can handle and what the extra development would mean for maintenance.

An existing shop that needs to move

Start with a sample export and a map of products, variants, images, customer records and existing URLs. Agree what transfers, what needs cleaning and how orders will be handled during the switch. Test the migration before setting the final cutover plan.

How delivery works

Review products, fulfilment, payments and existing store data.
Agree the platform and integration scope after a technical check.
Design and build the catalogue and checkout; test sample orders and refunds.
Launch, hand over order management and agree care and monitoring.

From problem to a practical plan

Illustrative project

The problem

A growing shop updates stock in two places and answers the same delivery questions repeatedly.

The approach

Use one agreed stock source and surface delivery information on product pages, with a defined route for exceptions.

What to check

Track failed orders, support questions and order completion using the shop’s actual baseline. No revenue increase is assumed.

Can you work with our existing shop and stock system?

We assess the current setup before recommending a replacement. Share the store platform, stock source, fulfilment provider and essential connections. We check supported APIs or export options, account access and vendor limits before including an integration in the quote.

What is tested before an online shop launches?

The agreed test plan covers product variants, stock states, delivery rules, order confirmation, successful and failed payments, and refund handling. It also checks the mobile journey and which system receives each order. We use test accounts and controlled transactions where the provider supports them.

Who manages products, orders and payments afterwards?

Your team’s editing and order-handling roles are agreed during discovery. We document the day-to-day tasks and exception process at handover. Payment accounts, fees, refund decisions, fulfilment and any ongoing technical support are identified separately in the proposal.

How do we know whether the new shop is working better?

Agree a baseline and the events to measure: product views, checkout starts, completed orders and relevant support requests. Check that events are recorded correctly before comparing periods. We also account for stock, campaigns and seasonal changes rather than attributing every sales change to the redesign.

Bring the shop and the operation into the brief.

A representative product and order are more useful than a long feature wish list. Use them to test the platform and clarify responsibilities.

Prepare a catalogue sample

Choose products that expose the real requirements: variants, unavailable stock, different delivery rules and any customer-specific pricing. Label incomplete information before migration.

Product identifiers, variants, images and approved descriptions.
Stock owner, fulfilment process and delivery destinations.
Existing URLs, order history and data that needs to transfer.

Agree what a complete order means

An illustrative acceptance case: a test order uses the correct variant and delivery rule, records payment status, reaches the order owner and produces an accurate confirmation. Failed payment must not be treated as a paid order.

Identify which system owns payment, stock and dispatch status.
Agree handling for cancellation, refunds and partial fulfilment.
Use provider-supported test accounts and controlled records.
