E-Commerce Development (Shopify & WooCommerce)
Build, customize, or migrate your online store on Shopify or WooCommerce. Softlimes sets up product catalogues, custom checkout and stock rules, payment gateways, and conversion tracking.
- Shopify & WooCommerce Builds
- Custom BOM & Inventory Logic
- Multi-Vendor Marketplaces
- Verified Purchase Tracking
An online store needs to make it easy for shoppers to find the right item, trust the checkout, and complete their order on a phone. It also needs to give your operations team accurate order and stock management behind the scenes.
We build across three e-commerce setups depending on how you sell: custom Shopify storefronts (such as MarvelX, organized around vehicle type, part category, and compatibility), custom WooCommerce stores with parent-child bill-of-materials inventory plugins, and custom PHP multi-vendor marketplaces (such as HDWebLink).
If you are moving from an older store platform, we migrate your products, variants, customer records, and order history and map 301 redirects so you keep your search rankings.
Every store launches with verified GA4 purchase tracking, Google Ads and Meta conversion events, and fast mobile collection pages.
