E-commerce Development Company Building High-Converting Commerce Platforms FAQs
Should I use Shopify or build a custom platform?
Shopify is best for D2C under $10M GMV. Custom builds are better for complex B2B pricing, unique product configurators, or legacy ERP deep integrations.
What is headless commerce and when do I need it?
Headless decouples the frontend (Next.js) from the backend (Shopify). Use it for sub-second loads, unique design needs, or omnichannel (Web+App) content integration.
How long does e-commerce development take?
Custom themes take 4-9 weeks; Shopify Plus with ERP integration takes 6-12 weeks; headless or custom portals take 8-16 weeks.
Can you build a B2B portal with customer-specific pricing?
Yes. We build authenticated portals where trade accounts see negotiated price lists synced directly from your ERP, not manually uploaded.
How do you handle migration without losing SEO?
We use a strict SEO protocol: pre-migration crawl, 1:1 redirect mapping, metadata migration, and 90-day post-launch ranking monitoring.
