E-commerce Development

Stores built to sell, not just display a catalogue

Shopify, Magento, and custom e-commerce builds, optimised for conversion from day one.

Quick answer

E-commerce development is matching a store to its actual catalogue and business-model complexity - Shopify, Magento, or a custom build - then optimising product pages, cart, and checkout against real behaviour data, rather than picking a platform by habit and blaming conversion on traffic.

The platform matters less than most e-commerce owners think - Shopify, Magento, and custom builds all fail in the same predictable ways when the product data, checkout flow, or performance basics are ignored. Shopify suits most catalogues that don't need heavy customisation, Magento earns its complexity for larger catalogues with genuine multi-store or pricing-rule needs, and custom builds make sense when the commerce model doesn't fit a standard platform at all.

Picking the right platform for your catalogue size is step one; building it properly is where most of the value sits. Whichever platform you land on, the same optimisation work applies afterward - product pages, checkout flow, and site search are where revenue is actually won or lost, far more than the initial platform decision.

Common problems

Problems we solve in E-commerce Development

App or extension sprawl

Functionality gets bolted on one app or extension at a time until page speed and checkout friction quietly cost revenue.

Platform picked by habit

A store lands on Shopify, Magento, or a custom build without checking whether it actually matches the catalogue and business model.

A commerce model forced onto a standard platform

Subscription billing, marketplace dynamics, or negotiated B2B pricing get stacked as workarounds instead of built natively.

Flat conversion blamed on traffic

A team responds to a stalled conversion rate by spending more on acquisition instead of fixing the funnel that is losing the traffic it already has.

Updates and audits deferred until something breaks

Extensions and apps accumulate with nobody checking them for conflicts until the store becomes unstable.

What's included

Everything covered in E-commerce Development

Shopify Development

Theme, app stack, and checkout built around your catalogue, not a stock template stretched to fit.

Magento Development

Multi-store, multi-currency, and pricing complexity handled properly for catalogues that genuinely need it.

Custom E-commerce

Commerce logic built natively for subscription, marketplace, or negotiated-pricing models a standard platform cannot cleanly support.

E-commerce Optimization

Product page, cart, and checkout fixes based on real behaviour data from traffic the store already has.

Reporting

What we report on

Apps or extensions running on the store

Tracked against a baseline audit, so each one is there for a checked reason, not an assumed one.

Page speed & checkout completion

Tied to real cart and checkout events in your analytics, not a vanity score.

Business rule coverage

Whether the commerce model's actual pricing, billing, and seller rules are supported without workarounds.

Conversion rate & cart abandonment

Measured at the specific drop-off point identified in the funnel, against your baseline.

Why EASI7

Why choose EASI7

We fix tracking before we touch results

Every engagement starts with the same audit we'd run on our own accounts, so the numbers you're optimizing against are actually true.

One accountable team, not siloed vendors

The same team that does this also owns the rest of your stack - no handoff, no blame-shifting between vendors.

Built for how AI search actually works

Everything we build is structured to be extractable by AI answer engines, not just ranked in a list of blue links.

Reporting tied to your own dashboard

Every number we report ties back to GA4/GTM events you can see directly - not a screenshot from a tool you can't independently verify.

FAQs

Common questions

Shopify suits most catalogues without heavy customisation needs and launches fast. Magento earns its extra complexity for larger catalogues with genuine multi-store or advanced pricing-rule requirements.

Yes - migrations are planned with a staged rollout and full product/order data mapping specifically to avoid downtime or lost transactions during the switch.

Yes, through our Web Optimization service - security, speed, and Core Web Vitals monitoring continue after launch rather than stopping once the store goes live.

A Shopify build usually runs four to eight weeks, Magento eight to twelve, and a custom or headless build three to six months - the range depends far more on catalogue complexity and integrations than on the platform name alone.

That's what our custom e-commerce work covers - subscription billing, marketplace dynamics, or negotiated B2B pricing that a standard platform can't accommodate without heavy workarounds.

No - a rebuild removes structural friction (speed, checkout steps, catalogue structure), but conversion also depends on traffic quality, pricing, and product fit, which are outside the build itself. We won't promise a specific outcome we don't control.

Store built, but not converting?

Before rebuilding, we audit the product pages and checkout flow - that's usually where the revenue is being lost.

How this compares

Platform Chosen to Fit the CataloguePlatform Chosen by Habit or Trend
Shopify, Magento, or custom gets chosen from actual catalogue and business-model complexityThe same platform gets recommended regardless of what the business actually needs
Apps and extensions are audited before they earn a place in the stackFunctionality gets bolted on app by app until page speed and checkout friction quietly cost revenue
Optimisation runs on real behaviour data from a store that already has trafficA rebuild gets proposed before anyone diagnoses where conversion is actually being lost

The platform matters less than most e-commerce owners think - Shopify, Magento, and custom builds all fail in the same predictable ways when the product data, checkout flow, or performance basics are ignored.

What we measure this against

  • Whether the platform actually matches catalogue size and business-model complexity
  • Apps or extensions running against a baseline audit, each earning its place
  • Conversion rate and cart abandonment tracked at the specific drop-off point, not a generic funnel average

Where this applies

  • A Shopify or Magento store slowed by app or extension sprawl nobody has audited
  • A subscription, marketplace, or negotiated-pricing business forced into workarounds on a standard platform
  • A store with steady traffic and a flat conversion rate about to spend more on acquisition instead of fixing the funnel
  • A large catalogue migrating off a platform that can no longer handle its product volume
