E-commerce

Sell your products from your own site.

Product pages, options, stock, and a checkout that pays into your own Stripe account.

What this is

A customer finds the product, picks the size, pays, and gets a confirmation, without ever leaving the site or landing on a checkout that looks like it belongs to somebody else.

The store is part of the build. Same design, same speed, same code, so it does not slow down the pages around it and there is no plugin to keep updated.

Whether it runs on your own site or on Shopify is a decision worth making on your numbers. Both are built here, and how much you sell and how complicated the inventory gets usually settles it.

The product page

Where the size, the price and the repeat order get chosen.

Options that know what is in stock, a subscription priced under the one-off, and a delivery date before anyone reaches a checkout.

What it does

What the store handles for you.

Product pages and checkout

Photos, options, stock, cart, and a checkout that works on a phone without pinching or zooming.

Real payments

Connected to Stripe or another processor, so money lands in your account rather than in a platform wallet.

Shipping and tax

Rates by region and weight, and tax worked out from where the customer is, whether that's the next town or another country.

Products that get found

Every product page is a page Google can index, with the markup that puts a price and a stock status in the result.

You get told

Orders arrive by email the moment they happen, with everything you need to pack and ship them.

Nothing to maintain

No plugins to keep updated and no admin login to be broken into. The store is part of the site's code, so it stays as fast as the rest of it.

Repeat orders

A refill charged and shipped on a schedule, which the customer can skip, pause or change without emailing you about it.

Trade pricing

A logged-in price list for shops and stockists, with order minimums, kept separate from what the public sees.

Connected to what you run

Orders into your accounting, addresses into your shipping labels, and buyers into the list you send email from.

FAQ

Store questions.

What does a store cost?

Quoted per project, and the range is published. What determines the price is the size of the catalogue, whether product photos and descriptions exist yet, and whether anything has to be brought across from a platform you're already on.

How long does a store take to build?

Longer than the two weeks a site takes. The pages around the store move at the usual pace; the store itself depends on how many products there are and how much of the catalogue already exists in a form that can be imported. That gets scoped before the quote, so you get a date rather than a guess.

Which payment processor do you use?

Stripe most often, because it handles cards and payouts cleanly and on a predictable schedule. If you already have a processor you're happy with, that can usually be connected instead.

How many products can it handle?

A few dozen is comfortable on a site-built store, and that covers most of the businesses asking. Past a few hundred SKUs, or once variants and stock across locations get involved, Shopify starts being the cheaper answer even with the monthly fee, and I'll say so.

Do I need Shopify?

Sometimes. Shopify earns its monthly fee once you're moving genuine order volume, carrying inventory across a lot of variants, or handling tax in several places, because it has already solved those problems properly, and building on it is something I take on. Below that threshold, a store built into your own site does the same job with no platform fee and no cut of every sale, and that's usually the better trade for a smaller catalogue.

I want to take bookings, not sell products.

That's online booking, which is a different build: a calendar with real availability, optional deposits, reminders, and a confirmation in your calendar and theirs. Plenty of businesses want both, and both can go on one site.
