Question 1

Which platform is best: Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom/headless build?

Accepted Answer

It depends on constraints: catalog complexity, integrations, content needs, checkout requirements, and how much your team wants to own. We recommend the simplest platform that can meet your conversion, operations, and reliability needs—then design the architecture so you can evolve without a painful rewrite.

Question 2

Can you improve conversion without rebuilding the entire site?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. We can improve performance, usability, analytics instrumentation, and checkout reliability in focused milestones. If the underlying platform is a hard constraint, we’ll still start with the highest-leverage improvements first and plan any replatforming as a staged migration.

Question 3

How do you handle payments, webhooks, and checkout reliability?

Accepted Answer

We design checkout and payment flows to be resilient: idempotent webhook handling, clear state transitions, safe retries, reconciliation reporting, and observable failure modes. The goal is fewer failed orders, fewer manual fixes, and less revenue leakage.

Question 4

Do you support subscriptions, memberships, or complex pricing?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We design pricing and product models that match the business: subscriptions, bundles, discounts, tiered pricing, and role-based catalogs. We also ensure operations (billing, fulfillment, and reporting) remain reliable as complexity increases.

Question 5

How do integrations work with ERP, inventory, shipping, or accounting systems?

Accepted Answer

We start with a source-of-truth model (which system owns which fields), then implement sync flows that are observable and reconcilable. We use clear event boundaries, retries, and reconciliation dashboards so integrations don’t become hidden, brittle glue.

Question 6

Can you work with our current team and tooling?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We integrate with your workflow (GitLab/GitHub/Jira, code review, environments) and align on definitions of done, quality gates, and release cadence. We can deliver as a project team or as ongoing capacity, depending on what you need.

Question 7

What about SEO, content, and Core Web Vitals?

Accepted Answer

We treat SEO and performance as product requirements. We implement clean URL structures, metadata defaults, structured content patterns, and performance work that improves Core Web Vitals—without turning the site into a fragile “SEO hack.”

Question 8

How do you handle security and customer data?

Accepted Answer

We design for least-privilege access, secure secret handling, and a minimal data footprint. Payment data should be tokenized and handled by PCI-compliant providers; we focus on secure integration patterns, operational auditability, and avoiding accidental data exposure.
