WHERE REVENUE LEAKS

The traffic arrived.
The orders did not.

Commerce is the one place where every engineering decision has a number attached. These four are the most common and the most measurable, and all of them are fixable without replatforming.

THE LEAK
WHAT IT COSTS
WHAT WE CHANGE
Checkout designed by the template

Steps, fields and payment options inherited from the platform default, with no data on where people actually drop.

Each step instrumented, then rebuilt in the order the funnel data justifies — usually fewer fields and payment methods earlier.

Search that does not find things

Users search, get nothing relevant, and leave. Site search converts several times better than browsing when it works.

Search rebuilt on intent with synonyms, typo tolerance and merchandising rules, measured on null-result rate rather than on relevance opinions.

Slow product pages

Every hundred milliseconds costs conversion, and the pages carrying the most traffic are usually the heaviest.

Rendering strategy per page type, image pipeline, and Core Web Vitals budgets enforced in CI rather than measured once.

Peak was never tested

The season arrives, the checkout queues, and the incident happens on the highest-revenue day of the year.

Load testing at projected peak weeks ahead, with the bottleneck found and fixed while it is cheap.

WHAT WE BUILD

What a commerce build ships with

Storefronts are easy to make look good. These are the parts that decide whether the numbers move and whether peak week is calm.

Instrumented funnel

Every step of cart and checkout measured before anything is changed, so improvement is provable rather than asserted.

Checkout rebuilt on evidence

Field count, step order, guest checkout, wallet placement and error handling reordered around where your data shows people leave.

Catalogue and search

Faceted navigation, intent-based search with synonyms and typo tolerance, and merchandising rules your commercial team controls without a deploy.

Payments, tax and fulfilment

Gateways, wallets, local methods, tax calculation and fulfilment integrations — with idempotency, so a retry never charges twice.

Headless front end

A fast storefront decoupled from the platform template, so design and performance stop being limited by what a theme allows.

Peak readiness

Load testing at projected volume, caching strategy, queue behaviour under stress and a runbook for the days that matter most.

WHAT WE BUILD

Commerce work where the numbers are visible

Every one of these has a conversion rate or an average order value attached, which makes the business case unusually easy to check.

Checkout optimisation

The highest-leverage work in commerce. Small changes to a high-traffic funnel move revenue measurably within weeks.

Headless replatforming

Keeping your commerce backend while replacing the front end, for speed and design freedom without a full migration.

Search and discovery

Rebuilding site search and faceting, usually the single largest conversion gap on catalogues past a few thousand SKUs.

B2B commerce

Account pricing, quotes, approval workflows and reordering — closer to a SaaS product than a consumer store.

Marketplace and multi-vendor

Vendor onboarding, split payments, commission and fulfilment across sellers.

Peak preparation

Load testing, caching and failover before a seasonal event, where an outage costs a year of margin.

AI-ASSISTED DELIVERY

Ten thousand products,one afternoon of work.

Commerce carries enormous repetitive volume: product copy across a catalogue, attribute normalisation from supplier feeds, image tagging, integration adapters per marketplace, tests per payment path. Generating that layer is where the efficiency lands, and it frees the budget for the checkout and performance work that actually moves the conversion rate.

CATALOGUE OPERATIONS

Descriptions and attributes at scale

Product copy, structured attributes and metadata drafted across thousands of SKUs from supplier data, then reviewed by your merchandising team rather than typed by them.

FEED NORMALISATION

Supplier data, made consistent

Messy supplier feeds mapped into your schema — sizes, colours, units and categories reconciled. Normally weeks of manual mapping per supplier.

SEARCH RELEVANCE

Synonyms from real queries

Search logs analysed to generate synonym sets and find null-result queries, so relevance improves from evidence rather than from guessing at vocabulary.

WHERE WE DRAW THE LINE

Payment paths are hand-written and tested twice.

Anything that touches money, tax or inventory is written deliberately and covered by replay tests. Catalogue efficiency is worth having precisely because it funds that care where it matters.

See our AI practice
HOW IT IS CONTROLLED
Payment and tax code is hand-written

Money paths are security-critical and legally consequential. They are written by senior engineers and reviewed twice, with replay tests proving one charge per intent.

Generated copy is reviewed before publishing

Product descriptions are drafted at volume and approved by your merchandising team. Nothing goes live on a model’s say-so.

Feed mappings are spot-checked

Automated normalisation is sampled and verified per supplier before a catalogue import runs against live data.

The efficiency is priced in

Catalogue and integration work is quoted assuming this approach, so the saving appears in your estimate rather than our margin.

HOW WE WORK

Measure first,
then change one thing

Commerce is the rare area where every change can be attributed to a number. That only works if the measurement exists before the work starts, so instrumentation is week one rather than an afterthought.

01
Week 1-2
Instrument the funnel
OUTPUTBaseline funnel report

Every step of cart and checkout measured by device, source and segment. Most teams discover the drop is not where they assumed, which changes what gets built.

✓Every step measured, by device
✓Payment and error failures counted
✓Baseline signed off before changes
02
Week 2-3
Find the biggest leak
OUTPUTRanked opportunity list

Funnel data joined with session recordings and search logs, ranked by revenue at stake rather than by ease. Usually two or three changes account for most of the upside.

✓Ranked by revenue, not effort
✓Search null-results quantified
✓Performance impact measured per page
03
Week 3-8
Rebuild the critical path
OUTPUTNew checkout on staging

Checkout, cart and product pages rebuilt around the evidence, with idempotent payment handling and error states that recover rather than dead-end.

✓Fewer fields, wallets earlier
✓Idempotent payment handling
✓Error states that recover the sale
04
Week 6-10
Test at peak volume
OUTPUTLoad test results & fixes

Load testing at projected seasonal traffic, including the payment gateway and inventory service. The bottleneck is always somewhere nobody expected.

✓Tested at projected peak, not current
✓Third-party limits verified
✓Caching and queue behaviour tuned
05
Week 8-12
Roll out and measure
OUTPUTA/B results & runbook

Staged rollout with the old path still available, measured against the baseline. If the number does not move we say so and try the next item on the list.

✓Tested against the baseline
✓Rollback available throughout
✓Peak-week runbook handed over
WHEN NOT TO REBUILD

When replatforming
is the wrong move

Replatforming is the most common expensive mistake in commerce. It takes two quarters, absorbs all engineering capacity, and frequently leaves conversion exactly where it was.

The platform is not the problem

Most commerce pain is checkout, search and performance — all fixable on your current platform for a fraction of a migration.

Fix the funnel first.
Nobody has measured the funnel

Rebuilding without a baseline means you cannot prove the new version is better. Two weeks of instrumentation changes the whole conversation.

Instrument, then decide.
The traffic is not there yet

Conversion work needs volume to detect an effect. Below a few thousand sessions a month, acquisition matters more than optimisation.

Spend on growth instead.
Peak is six weeks away

Nobody should be mid-rebuild during their highest-revenue period. Harden what exists, then rebuild in the quiet season.

Peak-readiness work only, for now.

WHAT WE REPORT ON

What lands in the monthly review

Commerce is the easiest place to hold an engineering team accountable, because everything reconciles to revenue.

Checkout completion rate

By step, device and payment method. The number the whole engagement exists to move.

Revenue per session

Conversion and average order value together, which stops a change that lifts one while quietly harming the other.

Search null-result rate

Searches returning nothing useful. Usually the largest single conversion gap on a big catalogue.

Core Web Vitals on top pages

Real-user LCP and INP on the templates carrying the most traffic, tracked per release.

Payment failure rate

Declines and gateway errors by method, separated from user abandonment so the cause is actionable.

Peak headroom

Measured capacity against projected peak, so the answer before the season is a number rather than a hope.

Industry Expertise Across 35+ Sectors

From retail apps and banking dashboards to a defence group rebrand, we bring proven domain knowledge to every product we design and build.

needs beside it

Conversion work sits between traffic and fulfilment, so it touches marketing, design and operations as much as engineering.

FAQ

Questions about commerce builds

Platform & approach Conversion & performance Commercials

Should we replatform?

Usually not. Most commerce pain is checkout, search and performance, all fixable on your current platform for a fraction of a migration. We will tell you honestly if the platform genuinely is the constraint.

What does headless actually get us?

Design and performance freedom, because the front end is no longer limited by a theme. It adds a build to maintain, so it is worth it when speed or bespoke experience matters commercially.

Can you keep our Shopify checkout?

Often that is the right call — it is well optimised and handles PCI scope. We focus on everything up to it, and go custom only where your requirements genuinely need it.

How long before we see results?

Funnel review in two weeks, first shipped improvements within a month of build starting. Conversion changes need a couple of weeks of traffic to read reliably.

Do you do B2B commerce?

Yes. Account pricing, quotes, approvals and reordering are closer to SaaS than to consumer retail, and we treat them that way.
