E-commerce that actually works for your business -
not against it.
When WooCommerce and Shopify can no longer keep up, I build e-commerce systems around your business model. Migrations, checkout logic, complex pricing, and integrations that actually work. BX1X is a separate SaaS platform option when commerce needs to connect into wider operations. The right route depends on whether you need fixes on an existing store, a rebuild, a SaaS rollout, or a deeper custom build.

You are in the right place if...
Your platform is the bottleneck
You are doing real volume but your platform cannot keep up. Slow checkouts, plugin conflicts, transaction limits, and workarounds that break every time something updates. You need infrastructure, not another plugin.
Your business logic does not fit a template
Subscription billing with usage tiers, geo-based pricing, multi-currency with real-time conversion, complex product configurations, bundled services, or checkout flows that no off-the-shelf platform supports.
You are paying platform tax on every transaction
Per-transaction fees, monthly platform charges, and app store costs are eating into your margins. At your volume, a tailored platform or custom build can make more sense than continuing to rent core infrastructure.
Your systems do not talk to each other
Your store needs to connect to your accounting software, CRM, warehouse management, fulfilment service, or ERP. You need purpose-built integrations that work reliably, not CSV exports and manual data entry.
E-commerce development services
Custom E-Commerce Platforms
When WooCommerce or Shopify is not the right fit. I build tailored e-commerce systems with React, Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL around your business logic, pricing model, and workflow - not a platform's constraints. Depending on fit, that can mean a licensed BX1X deployment, major extensions, or a fully custom build.
Typical work: BX1X is a separate SaaS option with e-commerce capability inside a wider operations platform, including billing, inventory, fulfilment, and configurable product workflows.
Payment Gateway Integration
Stripe, PayPal, PayFast, Peach Payments, Ozow, and more. Multi-gateway setups, geo-based payment routing, subscription billing, and production checkout flows. I have integrated 9+ gateways across international and South African markets - including multi-gateway routing where the right provider is selected automatically based on customer location and currency.
E-Commerce Integrations
Connect your store to your accounting (Xero, Sage), CRM, warehouse, ERP, shipping providers, and marketing tools. Purpose-built integrations, not Zapier workarounds. Systems that sync reliably without manual intervention.
WooCommerce Development
If your business still runs on WooCommerce and you need custom work done right, I have 15 years of WordPress experience and 885+ WooThemes clients supported.
WordPress & WooCommerce›Why businesses move beyond off-the-shelf e-commerce
No per-transaction fees
Commercial platforms often take a cut of every sale. At the right scale, a tailored platform can reduce dependency on per-transaction platform costs when the economics justify it.
A platform shaped around your business
Your pricing, fulfilment, billing, and customer workflows are built into the system instead of forced through plugins and workarounds.
No feature limitations
Your checkout works the way your business needs it to. Not the way a platform committee decided it should. Custom pricing logic, custom product types, custom workflows - all yours.
The right delivery model for your stage
Some businesses need a licensed BX1X deployment. Others need a deeper custom build. The point is fit: the solution is scoped around your operation, not forced into a generic package.

Typical Engagements
E-commerce work normally falls into one of four routes: focused work on an existing store, a rebuild or deeper customisation, a BX1X fit review, or a larger custom build. I scope that around your transaction flow, integrations, and operational model.
- WooCommerce or Shopify extension work: days to 2 weeks - checkout fixes, payment gateways, catalog work, or integrations on an existing store.
- Rebuild or deeper customisation: 2-8 weeks - migrations, heavier WooCommerce changes, or store cleanup when the current setup is holding the business back.
- BX1X rollout review: scoped after fit assessment - when commerce needs to connect into billing, inventory, bookings, and wider operations through a separate SaaS platform.
- Full custom commerce build: scoped where standard platforms and BX1X are not the right fit.
Not every store needs the same route.
Some businesses need focused work on WooCommerce or Shopify. Others need a rebuild. Others need BX1X as a separate SaaS option. I will tell you which route fits before any build work starts.
Frequently Asked Questions
When does it make sense to move off WooCommerce or Shopify?
When your transaction volume makes per-transaction fees expensive, when your business logic requires constant plugin workarounds, when checkout performance is losing you sales, or when you need integrations deeper than what plugins can provide. If your current platform works, stay on it - I help with that too.
How much does a custom e-commerce platform cost?
It depends on scope and delivery route. Focused store work can take days to a couple of weeks. Rebuilds and deeper customisation usually take longer. BX1X rollouts and full custom builds are scoped after a fit review so the delivery model matches the business.
Is this always a fully custom build?
No. Some engagements are focused work on WooCommerce or Shopify. Some are rebuilds. Some are licensed deployments using BX1X as a separate SaaS platform. And some are fully custom. I scope that with you up front so the delivery model matches the business problem.
Can you migrate my store from WooCommerce or Shopify?
Yes. I have migrated stores between WooCommerce, Shopify, and custom platforms. Data migration, URL redirects, and SEO preservation are all part of the process.
Do you handle ongoing support after launch?
Yes. Bug fixes, updates, new features, and performance monitoring are available after launch. Ongoing support is scoped based on the delivery model and your operational needs.
