We design, build and support online stores for US brands. Most go live in 3 to 5 weeks.

Shopify is the best default for most product-based businesses, reliable hosting, payment infrastructure, and a huge app ecosystem. WooCommerce is right when you're already on WordPress and need deep content-commerce integration (recipes, editorial, guides). BigCommerce suits mid-market brands that need native B2B features without Shopify Plus pricing. Custom Next.js Commerce or headless builds are for businesses with unique product logic, complex configurators, or performance requirements that exceed what platform themes can deliver. We make this assessment during discovery, we won't push a more complex solution than you need.

Headless e-commerce separates your storefront (what customers see) from the commerce backend (inventory, orders, checkout). The frontend is rebuilt in a fast framework like Next.js, while Shopify or another API handles transactions. The result is sub-1-second page loads, full design freedom, and custom UX that platform themes can't match. Most stores under $5M/year revenue don't need headless: the additional build cost doesn't justify the conversion uplift. Above that revenue level, the math usually works in its favor.

Yes. We build custom marketplace platforms with vendor onboarding flows. They feature split payment logic via Stripe Connect, commission management, seller dashboards, and dispute handling. These are custom Next.js builds. Shopify and WooCommerce are not built for true multi-vendor marketplaces, so we do not force them into that shape.

Yes. Subscription e-commerce is one of our highest-ROI offerings. We implement subscription logic using Recharge, Bold Subscriptions, or WooCommerce Subscriptions. Models include subscription boxes, consumable replenishment, and digital memberships. We also set up customer portals where subscribers can skip, swap or pause, and cancel flows that offer a pause before a cancel.

Both. Most businesses are best served by Shopify or WooCommerce, and that is where we start the conversation. But when off-the-shelf platforms cannot support your product logic, multi-vendor marketplaces, proprietary pricing engines, deep ERP coupling, we operate as a custom ecommerce software development company and build a bespoke platform, typically headless on a React/Next.js front end. We recommend the simplest option that fits, not the most expensive.

A small store on a pre-built theme can launch for about $1,000 to $5,000, and a store with custom design and integrations typically costs $5,000 to $25,000, according to BigCommerce. Where yours lands depends on four things: the platform, how many products and variants you have, whether you are moving from an old store, and which systems the store has to talk to (ERP, 3PL, subscriptions, B2B pricing). A custom-theme Shopify or WooCommerce store is the smallest build. Headless and marketplace builds are the largest. We give you one fixed price after a free 30-minute call, paid in milestones. Our ecommerce website cost and Shopify development cost guides go deeper.

A platform store with a custom theme takes 3 to 5 weeks. An advanced store with subscriptions or B2B pricing takes 5 to 8 weeks. Headless Next.js storefronts and custom platforms run 8 to 14 weeks depending on catalog size, integrations, and migration requirements.

We work fixed-price and milestone-paid. Every store is scoped upfront with no hourly billing or surprise invoices. Twelve years of building stores means we estimate accurately on the first call. The quote you sign is what you pay. You get Figma-first design, strict platform engineering, a Lighthouse performance audit, and full code ownership.

You get one fixed price for an agreed scope, written down before work starts. There is no hourly billing. You pay in milestones, usually tied to design approval, the staging store and launch. Platform fees (Shopify, BigCommerce) and app subscriptions are billed to you directly by those companies, so you always see them. If you add something mid-project, we quote that change before we build it.

Yes. Platform migrations are one of our most common engagements. We migrate products, variants, metafields, images, customers, order history, and reviews. We map your URL structure and implement 301 redirects for every changed URL before DNS switch. We migrate stores from WooCommerce, Magento, Squarespace, Wix, PrestaShop, and BigCommerce to Shopify, or from Shopify to headless Next.js.

Yes, if the migration is done carefully. Before we move anything, we list every URL that gets search traffic today. We build a complete 301 redirect map (a rule that sends each old address to its new one) before touching DNS. We submit new sitemaps to Google Search Console on launch day and watch organic traffic for 30 days after launch. A small dip for a few weeks is normal with any move. A missing redirect map is what causes lasting losses.

Every e-commerce store we build includes technical SEO as standard. We add Product and BreadcrumbList schema markup for Google Shopping. We write optimized title tags and meta descriptions for templates. We set canonical URLs to prevent duplicate content. We compress images with descriptive alt text and submit XML sitemaps to Google Search Console. Content SEO and keyword research are available as add-ons.

We configure Stripe, PayPal, Shop Pay, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Affirm, Klarna, and Afterpay. For B2B clients, we integrate net terms via Resolve Pay or native tools. All payment flows are tested end-to-end on staging before launch.

Yes. Common integrations include NetSuite, SAP B1, Brightpearl, and Cin7 for ERP. For fulfillment, we integrate ShipBob and ShipMonk. For finance, we connect QuickBooks and Xero. For retail POS, we integrate Shopify POS, Square, and Lightspeed via REST APIs and webhooks.

Yes. B2B e-commerce is a core part of our work. We build wholesale ordering portals with tiered dealer pricing. We configure net-30 and net-60 terms via Resolve Pay or native Shopify B2B tools. Features include company account management, custom price lists per segment, minimum order quantities, and purchase order uploads. Shopify Plus includes native B2B features. WooCommerce B2B uses WholesaleX or B2BKing.

Most e-commerce traffic now arrives on phones, but phones still convert worse than desktop. Poor mobile checkout is usually the reason. We design every layout for a 375px phone screen first. We enable one-tap Apple Pay and Google Pay checkout to eliminate cart abandonment. We add thumb-friendly buttons, sticky add-to-cart bars, and lazy-loaded images. Every store passes Google Core Web Vitals with Lighthouse 90+ before launch.

Yes. International e-commerce is a standard capability. We implement Shopify Markets for multi-language and multi-currency storefronts. Features include automatic currency conversion with presentment currencies. We translate pages with Translate & Adapt or Weglot. We configure zone-specific shipping rates and landed cost calculations for duties and taxes at checkout. We also support local payment methods like Klarna and iDEAL.

Beyond standard technical SEO, FactoryJet builds answer engine optimization into every store. This gets your brand cited in ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google AI Overviews. We configure Product schema with pricing, availability, and ratings. We add BreadcrumbList schema and category FAQPage schema. We structure collection copy to answer specific buyer questions and build topic authority.

Four things: price, ownership, support and honesty. Our engineering team is based in India, so a fixed-price build usually costs well under a typical US agency quote for the same scope. You own the full codebase on launch day, with no lock-in. We stay on after launch for fixes and improvements instead of handing you off. And we tell you when a simpler, cheaper setup fits better. We have delivered 500+ projects across the US, the UK, the UAE and India.

Yes, 100%. The full codebase is delivered to your GitHub repository on launch day. You own every file, every integration, and all API credentials. No proprietary platform and no recurring agency license is needed. Any qualified developer can maintain and extend the code.

Every e-commerce project includes a 14 to 30 day post-launch support window. This covers bug fixes and launch questions at no added charge. Beyond launch, we offer monthly retainers for ongoing development, priority bug response, and seasonal updates. We also offer one-time sprints for checkout testing, app integrations, and performance audits.

A freelancer works well for simple theme setups or single app installs. An agency makes sense when you need custom design, an SEO-safe migration, or complex product logic. FactoryJet delivers agency quality at predictable fixed pricing. You get a full team of designer, developer, and QA engineer, with full code ownership on launch day.

A custom ecommerce development company designs and builds your store end to end rather than installing a generic template. For FactoryJet, that means custom storefront design, custom theme code, payment configuration, and ERP integrations. It also includes SEO-safe migrations and rigorous QA. You get the full codebase on GitHub at launch, ensuring zero vendor lock-in.

Nothing formal. It helps to know what you sell, roughly how many products and variants you have, which platform you are on today (if any), and one or two stores you like. If you have monthly traffic or sales numbers, bring them. We use the call to recommend a platform and scope, then send a fixed quote and a launch date.

Often, yes. If your platform is right and the problem is speed, checkout friction or a weak product page, a focused fix costs far less than a rebuild. We start with an audit and tell you plainly whether a rebuild is worth it. For Shopify stores we also run ongoing support and maintenance, so the same team keeps improving the store after the fix.
