Custom ecommerce in short.
Custom ecommerce is a store built around complex requirements that standard platforms handle poorly.
- WHO IT IS FOR
- Businesses with large catalogues, customer-specific pricing, portals, quotations or heavy integrations.
- WHAT IS INCLUDED
- Architecture, B2B features, ERP and CRM integration, workflow automation and scaling.
- BEFORE YOU CHOOSE
- It takes longer and costs more than a standard platform, so confirm the requirement before choosing it.
Custom is the answer when the platform becomes the problem.
Shopify and WooCommerce suit most stores. Custom ecommerce makes sense when you’re working around them more than with them. These are the signals.
Thousands of products. Every customer’s price.
Technical catalogues with deep categories and specifications, and a pricing engine that applies contracts, tiers and quantity breaks for each account in real time.
Built for the way businesses buy.
Business buying involves accounts, approvals, quotes and repeat orders. We design those workflows into the platform instead of bolting them on.
One platform, every system in sync.
CRM, ERP, inventory, warehouse, shipping, payments and third-party APIs — connected through a documented API layer with events, retries and monitoring.
The work behind each order, automated.
Approvals, routing, notifications, document generation and system updates run on rules you control — so your team handles exceptions, not routine.
- Quote and order approvals
- Credit and payment holds
- Order routing to warehouses
- Invoices and documents
- Customer and team notifications
- Scheduled ERP and price syncs
