Ecommerce development on Shopify and Medusa
We design and build online stores on Shopify when you want the platform to run the hard parts, and on Medusa when the way you sell needs custom logic. Both with fast storefronts, content your team can edit, and code and accounts in your name.
Which platform fits your store
We build on both, so the recommendation follows your store, not our preference.
Shopify with a custom theme
For most stores: a catalogue, a checkout and a brand that should look like no one else. Quick to launch, simple to run, and Shopify handles hosting and updates.
Headless Shopify
Shopify’s checkout and orders behind a Next.js storefront, with editorial content in Sanity. For brands where content, speed or several markets matter as much as products.
Medusa
Open-source commerce for stores whose pricing, checkout rules or back office don’t fit a standard platform. You own the code and pay no platform fee per order.
Stores we have built
Custom commerce where a template would not do.
VanGold
Next.js + Medusa + Sanity
A Vienna bullion dealer. Prices follow the live metal price, Austrian VAT and invoices are automated, and guides are edited in Sanity.

Ecommerce development questions
Shopify if you want the platform to run hosting, checkout and updates, and your store works like most stores. Medusa if your pricing, rules or back office are the hard part and you want to own the code. We build on both and will recommend one after looking at your store.
Yes, with Next.js for the storefront and Sanity for content, keeping Shopify’s checkout. For many stores a custom theme is enough, and we will say so. See Shopify development.
Yes. We move stores from WooCommerce, Magento and other platforms, with products, customers and order history moved by script and every URL redirected.
Yes. Code, accounts and data are in your name. On Medusa you own the code outright and can host it anywhere; we can host it for you if you prefer, and hand everything over whenever you ask.
A fixed scope with milestones you sign off, by the hour, or on a monthly retainer. The audit and estimate come first and are free.
Yes. Fixes, updates, new features and campaign pages, on a retainer or as needed.
