The bill keeps growing
Apps, plugins and fees stack up after launch. We list every cost category before you commit, and remove tools the store does not use.
Ecommerce engineering
Ecommerce for the way you already sell.
Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom store. We build only the catalogue, checkout and connections you still need, then host and look after the technical side.
- PlatformShopify, WooCommerce or custom
- The gapCheckout, stock and channels
- CareUpdates, backups, a named contact
Sample store. Tap a product, choose a colour, add it to the bag. No payment is taken.
Where a store starts to cost you sales
These are the situations we are asked to fix. The response is specific, and it is written into the scope before work starts.
An update broke checkout
A plugin or theme update fails at the worst moment. We test updates where the platform allows, and fix issues inside the care plan.
Shoppers leave at payment
Extra steps and surprise costs drop a sale you already earned. We walk product to payment on a phone and remove avoidable steps.
The site is slow on a phone
Heavy pages and stacked scripts cost buyers. We audit speed, lighten the pages that sell, and set a budget for new work.
Nobody knows the store
When something fails you get a forum. Under the plan you get one technical contact who has seen this store before.
The platform cannot do the next step
More channels or more shops need workarounds. We say whether to improve it, extend it, or build only the part a platform cannot do.
How a store actually gets built
Three parts, one engagement. You do not pay us to rebuild a checkout Shopify or WooCommerce already does well.
1 · Platform
Start from the platform that fits
Shopify when you want a managed start. WooCommerce when you want WordPress. A custom build when account pricing, many locations or an unusual checkout cannot live on a theme.
- Catalogue, variants and collections
- Payments, tax and shipping
- A mobile path to purchase
2 · Only the gap
Build what the platform does not cover
Marketplace listings, a second shop, account-specific prices, or a counter that must share stock. If the platform already does the step, we leave it.
- Amazon, Etsy, Flipkart and others
- Accounting and inventory links
- Rules your buyers actually use
3 · Counter and care
Keep the shop and the website in step
SnapOS covers the counter when you sell in a shop. Hosting and care cover updates, backups, monitoring and a person who answers.
- Barcode, variants, returns, payments
- One stock count online and in store
- Care plan with a written scope
Built for the size you are now
The route changes with the number of shops and channels. Pick the one that matches, then use the plan below to confirm it.
Small store
One shop, or a first store. Easy to run, able to take payment on day one.
- Design, setup and products
- Payments, shipping, mobile checkout
- A care plan after launch
Shopify for the quickest managed start. WooCommerce if you want WordPress.
Plan a small storeGrowing business
More products, more than one channel, and systems that have to share a catalogue.
- Everything in a small store
- Accounting, inventory, marketplaces
- Speed work on the pages that sell
Shopify with the integrations you need. Custom when the buying rules are unusual.
Plan a growing storeSeveral locations
Many shops that should share one catalogue and one stock count, including the counter.
- Everything in a growing store
- Multi-location stock and POS
- Custom work only where a platform stops
Custom build for shared stock. Shopify or WooCommerce when POS and ERP links are enough.
Plan a multi-store setupOne catalogue. Every place you sell.
Listings, stock and orders stay in step. Each marketplace sets its own fees, rules and seller approval. We scope every connection on its own.
Your store
The home of the brand. It holds the master catalogue, prices and stock.
Amazon
Listings from your catalogue, with stock and orders synced. Pricing rules are scoped per project.
Etsy
For handmade and design-led goods. Listings stay consistent with the store.
Flipkart
Catalogue and orders in one flow, scoped to the seller programme you are on.
Shop counter
SnapOS sales, returns and variants update the same stock the website uses.
Other channels
Tell us where you sell. We confirm what is possible before it is in the quote.
Get a starting plan
Six questions. You see a suggested route before you send anything. Sending it is optional.
What you can check
A store project leaves a working shop and a written scope, not a theme preview with no owner.
- Platform choice
- Why Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom build, including when we tell you not to move.
- Catalogue
- Products, variants, collections and the prices the channels will use.
- Checkout
- The path from product to payment on a phone, with the steps we removed.
- Connections
- Which marketplaces, accounting tools and the counter are in this phase.
- Launch record
- What we tested before go-live, and what we did not test.
- Care plan
- Updates, backups, monitoring, hours, and who you call. Uptime is not promised.

- Multi-store commerce coreOne catalogue and store-aware stock for a regional retailer, with distinct storefronts.
- SnapOSCounter, handheld and multi-store checkout, aligned with online stock.
- CommerceNestA commerce core for catalogue, pricing, checkout and fulfilment when a theme is not enough.
Who does what after you hire us
You run the business. We take the technical side under a plan. Extra design and new integrations are quoted separately.
Design
We handle structure, variants, checkout and a phone review.
You keep product facts, photos and approvals.
Launch
We handle payments, agreed integrations, testing and handover.
You keep the final sign-off and the announcement.
Maintain
We handle updates, security maintenance, backups, monitoring and fixes inside the plan.
You keep products, prices, customers, fulfilment and ads.
Improve
We handle speed, checkout and integrations already in scope. New features are quoted.
You keep the priority of what to change next.
We do not promise uninterrupted uptime or unlimited support. Hours and response are the ones in the agreement.
Questions before you start
The contract still sets the exact scope for your store.
Which platform should I choose?
It depends on your products, budget, how much you want to manage and what you use today. We explain the trade-offs of Shopify, WooCommerce and a custom build in plain language and recommend what genuinely fits.
Can you work on my existing Shopify or WooCommerce store?
Yes. We can improve design, speed, checkout and integrations, and look after updates and technical support under an agreed plan.
Will you tell me to migrate?
Not automatically. We assess your store first. Sometimes improving it is the better decision. If a move makes sense, we plan redirects, data and a rollback strategy.
What does technical store management include?
Under an agreed plan: hosting coordination, updates, security maintenance, backups, monitoring, troubleshooting, integration upkeep and technical support. The scope is written down before you commit.
What does it not include?
Product management, customer service, order fulfilment, advertising and day-to-day business operations stay with you unless agreed otherwise in writing.
Do you guarantee uptime?
No. We do not promise uninterrupted uptime. We monitor the store and respond within the scope and hours we agree.
Can I start small?
Yes. Many first-time sellers begin with a focused store and add features later. We tell you what is realistic for your budget before work starts.
What do you need to scope a project?
What you sell, your current website if you have one, your main goal and the platform you prefer, or not sure. We reply with fit, a sensible next step and what we need.
Tell us what you sell. We will name the gap.
Which platform already fits, what still has to be built, and whether we should host it.
