Carts and subscriptionsthat actually hold up.
Custom e-commerce with Stripe checkout, subscription tiers, customer self-serve portals, automatic retries on failed payments, and a clear admin view of every order. Built for service businesses moving to recurring revenue and product shops outgrowing the cookie-cutter platforms.
Why custom commerce
Keep the margin the platforms eat.
The big hosted platforms are fine to start, but they take a cut of every transaction, box you into their checkout, and charge more the moment you want something they did not anticipate. As you grow, those per-transaction fees turn into real money walking out the door.
We build custom commerce on Stripe, the same payments backbone the big players use, without the platform tax on top. You get the cart, the subscriptions, the customer portal, and the admin view, designed around your products and your pricing.
It is built to hold up under real customers: failed payments retry automatically, refunds and cancellations have clean flows, and every order is visible in one admin view. The kind of system you can actually run a business on.

How it ships
Scope it. Then take payments.
Discovery workshop
We map how your business actually works today, where the friction lives, and what a win looks like in 90 days. Free, and it doubles as your scoping session.
Written scope
A clear proposal with deliverables, a phased timeline, a fixed fee, and the out-of-scope list. You approve the plan before anyone touches a keyboard.
Build in sprints
We ship in small, visible increments so you see real progress every week, not a black box that surfaces at the end. You test as we go.
Launch and support
Go-live, team training, and full handoff of the code and the data. Keep us on a monthly support plan, or take it and run it yourself. Your call.

Questions
What people ask first.
Why not just use Shopify or a hosted platform?
They are a fine starting point. But they take a cut of every sale and limit what you can customize. Once volume grows or you need something they do not offer, a custom build on Stripe usually pays for itself by cutting the per-transaction tax and fitting your exact process.
Can you do subscriptions, not just one-time sales?
Yes. Subscription tiers, a customer self-serve portal, automatic retries on failed payments, and clean cancellation flows are core to what we build. It is ideal for service businesses moving to recurring revenue.
Is it secure?
Payments run through Stripe, which is PCI-compliant and handles the sensitive card data, so it never touches your servers. We build secure logins and access controls around the rest.
Will I be able to manage orders myself?
Yes. You get an admin dashboard with every order, customer, and subscription in one place, plus reporting and exports for your books.
