Online shop systems
Choosing an online shop platform is a decision you live with for years, and most of the pain comes from things nobody asks about at the start: how products are updated, how stock stays accurate, and what happens when an order has to reach your accounting system.
The work
What an online shop system involves
Choosing on how you operate
The right platform depends on your catalogue size, how often prices change, whether you sell business to business as well, and what your team can maintain. The recommendation is based on that rather than on what is most enjoyable to build.
The integrations that decide the workload
Stock, pricing, orders, accounting, shipping and any feed going out to marketplaces or advertising. Get these connected and the shop runs itself. Leave them manual and somebody spends a day a week retyping.

Questions
Common questions
WooCommerce or Shopify?
Your first step should be to look at your channels and determine how they influence your sales. To find where improvements can be made, the review covers your website, social profiles, paid media and email flow.
Can you migrate our existing shop?
Prices vary from business to business, depending on the services you need. Before any work starts, you get a fixed quote against a written scope.
How do we keep stock accurate?
The platform is chosen to suit the business, not the other way round. WooCommerce is the main eCommerce platform used, but the choice depends on what will best serve your customers, with experience in Shopify, Drupal and Wix as well.
What about payments?
Large catalogues are priced competitively and turned around efficiently.
