E-commerce development_

A store is a website with consequences. Every slow page, broken discount or order that has to be retyped costs you money you can count. We build stores that sell, and we wire them into the systems that fulfil the order.

Which platform, and when

Platform	Choose it when	Our example
Shopify	You want a reliable store without running servers	Burn Hard, an international grill brand
Shopify Plus	The store is large or needs deep API work	White Elephant for Camp.com
WooCommerce	Content and commerce share one WordPress site	Meshek Meller, farm produce sold direct to homes
Custom store	Your way of selling breaks every standard checkout	iGift, employee holiday gifts
Marketplace	Buyers and sellers both use the platform	WatchCash, used watches

There is no prize for picking the most complex option. We recommend the simplest platform that does what you need, and explain why in writing.

Case study: Camp.com White Elephant

For Camp.com we built White Elephant, a virtual gift exchange game connected to Camp.com’s product catalogue through Shopify. Users schedule an event, invite guests, buy gifts, play, and have the gift they won delivered straight to them. It is built with Angular and NodeJS on Shopify Plus.

The result: it consistently generated significant weekend revenue, in the hundreds of thousands of dollars, and was recognised as a success story at a global convention on the future of retail. The lesson for any store is that a better way to buy can matter more than a better product page.

Stores that do more than sell boxes

Not every store fits a cart and a checkout:

• Escape Show sells virtual escape room games. Customers book through a client-facing booking interface, and the team runs everything from a back office we built for its day-to-day operations.
• Bradford Skin Clinic, a Canadian skin clinic and med spa, takes appointment bookings and sells skin products online from the same site, with a blog alongside.
• iGift needed a custom store because its requirements were too specific for an off-the-shelf one.

The integration work nobody sees

The visible store is often the smaller part of the job. The rest is the plumbing: payment gateways, shipping and delivery, product catalogues, stock, CRMs and supplier APIs. WatchCash is a good example: one platform handles negotiation, mail delivery, the payment gateway and several API integrations, so a deal goes from offer to payment without anyone stepping outside the system.

If your customer data needs more than the store’s built-in tools, see CRM development. If the store is part of a bigger site, see website development, and for launch campaigns, digital campaigns.

Choosing an e-commerce development partner

Ask any agency three things: show me a live store you built, show me an integration you built behind one, and tell me what you do on my busiest day. We have offices in Toronto and Tel Aviv, and one team behind both. Our name may be Dino, but your checkout will not feel prehistoric.

Tell us what you sell and how you sell it, and we will tell you which platform we would build on.
