Shopify & Shopify Plus
Custom themes, app development, Liquid work, B2B wholesale channels and multi-store setups for growing US brands.
Service
eCommerce Development Services
Shopify, WooCommerce and headless storefronts engineered around checkout speed, average order value and clean product data.
Overview
Why teams bring us this work
An online store is a revenue system, not a brochure. Every 100ms of latency, every extra checkout field and every broken product filter has a measurable dollar cost - and most stores are leaking on all three at once.
Orange Orbits builds and rebuilds eCommerce experiences for US retailers and DTC brands on Shopify, WooCommerce and headless architectures. We start with a store audit that quantifies where the revenue is escaping, then fix the highest-value problems first.
What you get
- Store audits that put a dollar figure on each fix before you commit budget
- Sales-tax, shipping and compliance handled for US multi-state selling
- Core Web Vitals treated as a revenue metric, because for retail it is one
- Structured data for products, reviews and offers to win rich results in Google
- Peak-season readiness - load tested ahead of Black Friday, not during it
- Analytics and server-side tracking configured so your ad platforms see clean data
What is included
Six things this engagement covers
WooCommerce development
High-performance WooCommerce builds with custom product types, subscription logic and a checkout that does not crawl under load.
Headless commerce
Next.js storefronts on top of Shopify Hydrogen, Commerce Layer or a custom API - sub-second page loads and total design freedom.
Platform migration
Magento, BigCommerce or legacy cart migrations with SKUs, customer accounts, order history and SEO redirects preserved.
Checkout & CRO
One-page checkout, express payment options, cart recovery flows and upsell logic tested against your own traffic.
ERP, PIM & 3PL integration
NetSuite, QuickBooks, ShipStation, Akeneo and warehouse systems synced so stock, pricing and orders stay accurate everywhere.
Process
How the work runs
Same six stages on every engagement, scaled to the size of the project.
01
Discover
We learn the business before the software - goals, constraints, competitors, the people who will use it and what success is actually measured by.
02
Define
Scope, architecture and a costed roadmap. You get documentation you own, whether or not you build it with us.
03
Design
Wireframes to a full design system, tested with real users before anyone writes production code.
04
Build
One-week sprints with a working demo at the end of each one. You see progress in software, not slide decks.
05
Launch
Load testing, security review, SEO migration checks and a rollback plan before anything goes live.
06
Grow
Post-launch measurement and iteration - because the version that launches is never the version that performs best.

FAQ
eCommerce Development questions
Shopify or WooCommerce - which should we choose?
Shopify wins when you want speed to market, predictable hosting and strong out-of-the-box payments. WooCommerce wins when you need unusual product logic, deep WordPress content integration or you want to avoid platform transaction fees. We make the call based on your catalogue, order volume and internal team.
What does an eCommerce build cost?
A custom Shopify theme build runs $20,000-$50,000. A WooCommerce store with custom logic runs $25,000-$65,000. Headless builds start around $70,000. Migrations are quoted separately based on SKU and order volume.
Will a migration hurt our search rankings?
Not if it is done properly. We map every legacy URL to its new destination, preserve title and metadata structures, keep the internal link graph intact and monitor Search Console daily for the first month. Most of our migrations recover baseline traffic within two to three weeks.
Can you improve our existing store instead of rebuilding it?
Often that is the better investment. Our audit identifies whether targeted fixes to speed, checkout and merchandising will get you most of the upside for a fraction of a rebuild budget.
