Ecommerce & Integrations

Online stores built around your products, your workflow, and the tools your business already runs — not a template on someone else's platform.

Without the platform tax

Sell online without paying the platform a percent of every sale.

Most "ecommerce solutions" are a template rented on someone else's platform — with a monthly fee, a revenue cut on top, a plugin chain that breaks every time something updates, and a feature list built to impress analysts instead of run your store.

We build stores that belong to you. Custom code around your products, your shoppers, and the back-office tools you already use. Your data stays on a server we run in Kamloops — not on the platform's warehouse in somebody else's region.

No revenue skim

Fixed build cost, hosted on our own infrastructure. No transaction percentage, no monthly fee that scales with your sales.

Your data, your server

Orders, customers, inventory — all on a server you control, not locked inside a platform's export-if-you-can-find-it dashboard.

Lean stack, less to break

No 40-plugin Jenga tower where one update takes down checkout. Clean code, fewer moving parts, predictable behaviour.

Two different economic models

Template platform, or custom build?

What each one looks like six months after launch — and what it looks like at ten times the volume.

Template platform

Renting a store on Shopify, WooCommerce, or similar

  • Monthly fee plus a transaction cut — the more you sell, the more you pay
  • Plugins stacked on plugins; one breaks, checkout breaks
  • Customer data and order history live on the platform, not with you
  • Theme limits what you can do; platform limits what you can customize
  • Migration off the platform is a multi-month project you'll dread

Custom build

Software that belongs to your business

  • Fixed build cost on infrastructure we run — no revenue skim, no surprise renewal
  • Lean code base: fewer moving parts, fewer things to break
  • Customer data, orders, and inventory are yours on servers you control
  • Designed around your products and your shoppers — not a theme
  • Extend or change anything; it's your code, not a rental

Four parts of a working store

A store isn't one thing.

It's a storefront, a payment pipe, an inventory system, and the integrations that glue it to the rest of your business. We build all four to the same spec — yours.

Storefront

Product pages, cart, checkout

The part shoppers see — product listings, search, cart, checkout — built around your products and how your customers actually buy. Fewer fields at checkout, clearer shipping costs, guest checkout available by default.

Payments

Your processor, not theirs

Stripe, PayPal, Square, Moneris — whoever your processor is, integrated directly. Multiple payment methods, currencies, or subscription billing when the product calls for it. PCI-compliant by design.

Operations

Inventory & order management

Stock tracking, order processing, shipping-rate quotes at checkout, fulfillment hooks, order-status emails. The part of a store that isn't glamorous but stops working first on template platforms.

Integrations

Talks to the tools you run

Accounting, CRM, email marketing, 3PL warehouse feeds, analytics. Clean API connections so data doesn't have to live in five places or get re-typed at the end of every week.

Where your store meets your business

Connected to what you already run.

An online store is only one system in your business. The ones around it — payments, shipping, accounting, CRM, inventory, analytics — exist before the store goes live and outlast it. We connect the store to them properly, so nobody ends up copying orders into QuickBooks by hand every Friday.

We wire the connections properly at build time — not with a plugin that might work. Your tools keep working.

Code, server, checkout — one team

The team that writes the code runs the server it sits on.

Ecommerce builds come out of the same team doing your website development and running your hosting. That matters at checkout — the place most stores leak. When the cart stalls, we can see the logs. When a payment gateway throws, we're reading the response, not waiting on a platform's status page.

Checkout design is deliberate: fewer form fields, clear pricing before the final step, mobile-first because most shoppers are, trust signals where they matter. No abandoned-cart rescue plugin pretending to fix something the platform made worse.

For arbitrary custom software that isn't a store — portals, internal tools, APIs — that's Custom Web Applications.

Sell online on your own terms.

Tell us what you sell, how you sell it, and which tools it has to talk to — we’ll come back with a build scope, an integration map, and a starting price.

Send us a message

A few quick questions so we can come back with something useful — only your name and email are required.

Where are you in the journey?

Brand-new is fast. Migrations are slower because we need to honour the existing URL structure for SEO.

More to help us prep optional
What are you selling?

Subscriptions and digital downloads need different cart logic than physical goods. Pick the closest match.

Roughly how many SKUs?

Under 10 might fit a simple Shopify. 5,000+ usually wants something custom. We’ll be honest if we wouldn’t build it.

Required integrations?

Integration breaks happen when nobody owns the connection. List what has to talk and we’ll architect it.
