Choose your approach
Shopify, WooCommerce or custom commerce?
| Approach | A good fit when… | What to consider |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify | Merchants whose catalog and operations fit a managed commerce platform. | Subscriptions, apps and platform limits affect ongoing cost and flexibility. |
| WooCommerce | A commerce experience closely connected to a WordPress publishing setup. | Hosting, plugin compatibility, security updates and maintenance need clear ownership. |
| Custom or headless commerce | Distinct storefront interactions or complex commerce workflows with a justified business need. | Greater flexibility brings more integration, testing and maintenance work. |
Budget & planning
What determines ecommerce development cost?
Catalog quality, migration and operational integrations shape the estimate. Platform subscriptions, provider fees and maintenance are priced separately.
- Product variants, pricing rules, catalog migration and search requirements.
- Payment, delivery, inventory and ERP connections with exception handling.
- Custom checkout needs, customer account features and marketplace or wholesale workflows.
Delivery
From setup to handover.
Map shopping and fulfilment
Review catalog, shopping journeys and operational dependencies before choosing the platform.
Build and reconcile
Validate migrated products, customers and orders; test failed payments and duplicate notifications.
Launch and observe
Prepare redirects, monitoring and analytics, then use observed behaviour to guide improvements.
Ecommerce FAQs
Should we use Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom platform?
We compare catalog complexity, integrations, costs and team needs. Custom or headless development should offer a clear benefit that justifies its maintenance.
Can you connect UAE payment and delivery providers?
Yes, subject to supported APIs or extensions and account eligibility. Provider approvals, transaction fees and commercial terms are separate.
Can you guarantee a conversion increase?
No. We reduce friction and measure key journeys, but conversion also depends on demand, pricing, merchandising and acquisition quality.
