ServicesWeb applications

We build online stores and connect them to your stock, payments and shipping.

Storefronts, product catalogues and checkouts on Magento, WooCommerce or a headless setup, joined to the ERP, the marketplaces and the carriers behind them. For retailers and distributors whose store has outgrown its template, or whose stock and orders do not match between systems.

What you get

What we hand over

  1. 01

    The store, in your name

    A storefront designed for phones first, with your catalogue, categories, filters and product pages. We have built stores with several languages and store views, separate prices for wholesale and retail customer groups, gift cards, vouchers and delivery time slots. The code, the data and the hosting accounts are yours.

  2. 02

    Checkout, payments and shipping

    A short checkout connected to your payment provider and your carriers. Past stores were connected to Adyen, PayPal and Paytm for payments, and to bpost, DHL, FedEx and ShipStation for labels and tracking. Returns are handled through a returns (RMA) process in the store.

  3. 03

    One set of figures across store, ERP and marketplaces

    Products, prices, stock, orders and invoices move between the store and the ERP without retyping. We have linked Magento to Microsoft Navision and to Odoo, WooCommerce and Amazon to Odoo, and stores to Amazon, eBay and Bol.com so one catalogue sells on every channel. Stores have also been linked to point-of-sale systems in the shops.

  4. 04

    A fast store and a back office you can run

    Page caching, Redis, a tuned web server and a CDN, a network that serves images and files from a location near the shopper. Search on Elasticsearch where the catalogue is large. An admin dashboard with sales, tax, low stock and coupon reports, and support after launch.

How it works

The store is the front; the work is in what it connects to

A store sells well when the stock it shows is true, the checkout is short and the pages load quickly. We design those three things first and choose the platform to suit them.

  1. 1Stock, prices and orders are synced with the ERP in both directions, on a schedule or as each order is placed. For a Belgian fashion retailer, orders and invoices go from Magento to the ERP, and shipments, credit notes and daily stock come back.
  2. 2The catalogue is loaded and kept up to date by import jobs. We have built jobs that collect supplier price files, apply pricing rules and publish the products to the store.
  3. 3For large or peak-season traffic the store is tuned and load tested: page caching, Redis, Nginx and a CDN. One Magento 1 to Magento 2 upgrade cut loading times on category and product pages and gave a faster checkout.
  4. 4Headless commerce is an option when you want full control of the shopping experience. Headless means the storefront is a separate application, built in React and Next.js, that talks to the commerce back end through its API, so each side can change without the other.

Your options

Your options, compared honestly

  • Alternative

    A hosted store builder

    Shopify and similar services are the quickest way to start selling, with hosting and security included. They are the right choice for a standard shop. They get harder when you need your own checkout rules, deep ERP links or pricing by customer group, and the monthly and per-sale fees grow with you.

  • Alternative

    Selling only on marketplaces

    Amazon and eBay bring buyers from the first day with no site to build. The marketplace owns the customer and sets the fees and the rules, so most sellers keep it as one channel and not the only one.

  • Alternative

    A template store from a freelancer

    Low cost and fine for a small catalogue. The limits show when stock has to match an ERP, when traffic peaks, or when the one person who knows the store is not available.

  • With KTree

    Build it with KTree

    One engineering team builds the store, the integrations and the hosting, and supports them after launch, at a fixed price when the scope is clear. You own the code, the data and the hosting accounts.

Before you ask

Questions about eCommerce

Short, straight answers. Anything else, ask in the form below and an engineer will reply.

Which platform should we use?

It depends on the catalogue, the integrations and who will run the store. WooCommerce suits a smaller catalogue beside a content site. Magento suits a large catalogue with several stores, languages or customer groups. A headless build suits a business that wants its own storefront on top of a commerce back end. We recommend one after seeing your products and the systems the store must connect to.

Can the store be connected to our ERP?

Yes. Products, stock, prices, orders, invoices and shipments can sync in both directions, so nobody retypes an order. We have done this with Odoo and Microsoft Navision, and with point-of-sale systems.

Our store runs on an old version. Can you upgrade it?

Yes. We list the custom code, the extensions and the theme changes first, then move the database, replace or rewrite the extensions and test every scheduled job before the switch. We did this for a book publisher moving from Magento 1 to Magento 2.

Can we sell on Amazon and our own site from one catalogue?

Yes. The store or the ERP holds the products once and publishes them to each channel, and orders and stock from every channel come back to the same place.

Who owns the store, and who looks after it?

You own the code, the data and the hosting accounts. After launch we can stay on for maintenance, upgrades and urgent fixes under a support plan, including for stores we did not build.
