Our Process

How We Build Commerce Platforms

A structured, transparent engagement model designed to de-risk complex platform migrations. Every phase has clear deliverables and decision points.

01

Architecture Audit

We start by deeply understanding your current commerce operations. We audit your Shopify store, app ecosystem, integrations, data flows, and custom code.

Deliverables

  • Current architecture documentation
  • Cost analysis and platform economics
  • Technical risk assessment
  • Migration feasibility report

Duration: ~2 weeks

02

Platform Blueprint

Based on the audit findings, we design the complete system architecture. Every component, integration point, and data flow is documented and reviewed.

Deliverables

  • System architecture diagram
  • API specification documents
  • Database schema design
  • Infrastructure topology and cost estimate

Duration: ~3 weeks

03

Platform Development

Our engineering team builds the platform in iterative sprints. You'll have visibility into progress through regular demos, code reviews, and a shared project board.

What to Expect

  • 2-week development sprints
  • Sprint demos and stakeholder reviews
  • Continuous integration and staging environments
  • Full code ownership transferred to you

Duration: 8–16 weeks

04

Deployment

Zero-downtime deployment to production. We handle data migration, DNS cutover, monitoring setup, and run a parallel operation period to ensure everything works flawlessly.

Includes

  • Full data migration from Shopify
  • URL redirect mapping for SEO preservation
  • Production monitoring and alerting setup
  • 30-day post-launch support period

Duration: ~2 weeks

Start With an Architecture Audit

The audit is the first step. It gives you a clear picture of your current architecture, the cost of staying on Shopify, and what a custom platform would look like for your business.
