An online store built to actually sell
We build e-commerce sites for Malaysian businesses — from Shopify storefronts to fully custom builds — with local payment gateways, sane inventory management, and checkout flows that don't lose customers halfway through.
The checkout is the whole business
An e-commerce site lives or dies on details that don't show up in a design mockup: how fast the product page loads, whether the checkout supports FPX and the payment methods your customers actually use, how inventory syncs when you're selling across your website and a marketplace at the same time, and whether the whole thing still works properly during a Raya or 11.11 traffic spike.
We build storefronts with those realities in mind from the start, whether that means a Shopify build customized to your brand and workflow, or a fully custom store when your business logic — bulk pricing, subscriptions, complex product variants — doesn't fit a standard platform cleanly.
The goal is always the same: a store your team can actually run day to day, not one that needs a developer on call for every product update or price change.
What's included
We scope e-commerce projects around your product catalog and operations, not a generic package.
- Platform selection guidance — Shopify, WooCommerce, or fully custom, based on your needs
- Local payment gateway integration — FPX, Billplz, iPay88, Stripe, and card payments
- Product catalog setup with variants, bulk pricing, and categories
- Inventory management, including sync with marketplace channels where needed
- Shipping integration with Malaysian courier services
- Mobile-optimized checkout, since most shoppers browse and buy on mobile
- Order and customer management your team can run without developer help
How we build it
E-commerce projects need more structural planning upfront than a standard website, since the operational side has to work as well as the storefront looks.
Discovery and platform decision
We review your product catalog, order volume, and operational workflow to decide whether Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom build is the right fit.
Design
We design the storefront around your brand and product presentation, with particular attention to product and category pages, since that's where most buying decisions happen.
Build and integrate
Payment gateways, shipping, and inventory systems get connected and tested thoroughly before launch — this is where most e-commerce projects go wrong if rushed.
Testing
We run full order-flow tests, including edge cases like failed payments and out-of-stock handling, before the store goes live.
Launch and support
We monitor closely in the first weeks after launch, when real customer behavior often surfaces issues that testing doesn't catch.
Why the operational side matters as much as design
A beautifully designed store that mishandles inventory sync, fails during a payment gateway timeout, or requires manual work for every order will cost you more in the long run than it saves upfront. We spend real time on the parts of an e-commerce build that don't photograph well — checkout reliability, inventory accuracy, and admin workflows — because that's what determines whether the store is sustainable to run.
We're also comfortable working across platforms rather than pushing one option regardless of fit. If Shopify genuinely serves your business better than a custom build, we'll say so — the goal is a store that works for how you operate, not the platform that's easiest for us to template.
Cost and timeline
Platform-based builds (Shopify, WooCommerce) are generally faster and more affordable to launch, typically six to ten weeks depending on catalog size and integration complexity. Fully custom builds take longer and cost more, but make sense when your business logic genuinely doesn't fit a standard platform.
The biggest cost drivers are usually the number of payment and shipping integrations needed, and whether inventory needs to sync across multiple sales channels.
Frequently asked questions
Should I use Shopify or build a custom e-commerce site?
Shopify (or WooCommerce) suits most standard product catalogs and is faster and more affordable to launch. A custom build makes sense when you have complex pricing logic, subscriptions, or workflows that a standard platform can't handle cleanly. We help you make this call during discovery.
Which payment gateways can you integrate?
We commonly integrate FPX, Billplz, iPay88, Stripe, and standard card payments, along with other gateways as needed based on your business and customer base.
Can the store handle high traffic during sales events?
Yes — we build and configure hosting to handle traffic spikes during peak periods like Raya sales or major promotions, and test for this ahead of high-traffic dates when we know them in advance.
Can I manage products and orders myself?
Yes. Every store we build comes with an admin system your team can use to manage products, orders, and inventory without needing a developer for routine operations.
How long does an e-commerce project take?
Platform-based stores typically take six to ten weeks. Fully custom builds take longer, depending on the complexity of your product logic and integrations.
