E-commerce setup services
Standing up a store is a weekend. Standing up one that still behaves at ten thousand SKUs, with real tax rules and a live ERP behind it, is the actual project.
What a setup includes
We build new stores on BigCommerce, Shopify Plus and Adobe Commerce, and index-first storefronts on Next.js where the catalog justifies it. The platform choice comes first and we are happy to be talked out of ours.
The part that separates a launch from a relaunch six months later is everything downstream of the theme: how the catalog is modelled, how search is configured, and what happens when the ERP and the storefront disagree.
The launch checklist we actually use•
In dependency order, because several of these cannot be retrofitted cheaply.
Model it before you load it
The attribute model decides what merchandising can do for the store’s whole life.
- Attributes, variants and option sets designed against how you actually sell
- Categories and facets planned together, since one feeds the other
- Import pipeline that can be re-run, not a one-time spreadsheet
Search configured, not just switched on
Default relevance is a starting point that most stores never move off.
- Facets derived from real catalog attributes
- Synonyms and redirects seeded from expected query language
- Zero-result handling decided deliberately
The unglamorous half
Payments, tax, shipping and fulfilment, plus everywhere the store meets the systems the business already runs. Any one of them can hold a launch on its own.
- Payment methods, including B2B terms where relevant
- Tax configured properly for where you actually sell
- Shipping rules and carrier integration
- ERP, PIM, OMS and marketing platform connections
- Analytics and Search Console configured before launch, not after
- Sitemaps, canonicals and redirects correct on day one
