Common Questions

Commerce FAQs.

Straight answers on timeframes, architecture, and ownership.

How long does a typical e-commerce build take?+

A focused single-vendor storefront typically takes 4-6 weeks. A full multi-vendor marketplace with vendor portals, automated payouts, and warehouse integrations takes 8-12 weeks. We provide a milestone-locked delivery schedule during scoping before any financial commitment is required.

Do we retain complete legal ownership of the code?+

Yes, completely. From Day 1, all repositories are hosted either in your company organization or transferred with full administrative control upon completion. We do not retain proprietary code locks or recurring studio licensing fees.

Can your platform handle high transaction volumes?+

Yes. Our checkout pipelines achieve 99.98% uptime with 310ms cart-to-tokenization speed. We use event-driven inventory reservations to prevent overselling under concurrency spikes, and idempotent webhook retries to guarantee zero-drop fulfillment.

Can I migrate from Shopify or WooCommerce to a custom build?+

Yes. We handle full data migrations from Shopify, WooCommerce, and other platforms to custom or headless commerce stacks. We map all product data, order histories, customer accounts, and SEO URLs so nothing is lost during the transition.
