Custom & Headless E-Commerce
When Shopify templates and WooCommerce plugins can't match your vision, go custom. I build bespoke e-commerce experiences with Next.js, Stripe, and headless commerce backends — every pixel, every interaction, every checkout step designed for your exact business model and customer journey.

Custom Commerce Builds
Technologies I use
What You Get
Custom Next.js Storefront
A fully custom storefront built with Next.js — server-side rendering for SEO, static generation for speed, and client-side interactivity for a native app feel. No template limitations, no platform constraints.
Stripe Payment Integration
Stripe Checkout for simple payments, Stripe Elements for embedded forms, Stripe Connect for marketplaces, and Stripe Billing for subscriptions. PCI-compliant payment processing with fraud detection and 3D Secure.
Headless Commerce Backends
Medusa.js for open-source headless commerce, Saleor for GraphQL-first commerce, or Shopify Storefront API for Shopify's backend with your custom frontend. Pick the commerce engine that matches your scale.
Subscription & Recurring Billing
Custom subscription models with Stripe Billing — metered usage, tiered plans, free trials, add-ons, and customer self-service portals. Dunning management, proration, and usage-based billing for SaaS and subscription boxes.
Marketplace & Multi-Vendor
Custom marketplace platforms with Stripe Connect for split payments, vendor onboarding, commission calculations, payout scheduling, and dispute handling. Build the next Etsy, not a Shopify clone.
Product Configurators & Custom Flows
Interactive product builders, quote generators, custom pricing calculators, and step-by-step order flows that platform templates simply can't handle. Complex business logic translated into intuitive user experiences.
Search & Personalization
Algolia or Meilisearch for instant product search with typo tolerance, faceted filters, and personalized results. AI-powered product recommendations and dynamic pricing based on user behavior.
Composable Architecture (MACH)
Best-of-breed commerce architecture — Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, Headless. Swap any component (CMS, search, payments, inventory) independently without rebuilding the entire stack.
How I Work
Business Model & Architecture
Map your business model to a technical architecture — product types, pricing logic, checkout flow, and integrations. Choose the right commerce backend and hosting infrastructure.
UX Design & Prototyping
Design the complete shopping experience — product discovery, cart, checkout, and post-purchase. Interactive prototypes for user testing before any development begins.
Frontend & Backend Development
Build the Next.js storefront and commerce backend in parallel. Product catalog, cart logic, checkout flow, payment processing, and admin dashboard — all custom built.
Payment & Integration Testing
End-to-end testing of payment flows, webhook handling, order lifecycle, and edge cases. Load testing for launch readiness and security audit for PCI compliance.
Launch & Iteration
Launch with monitoring, error tracking, and analytics. Iterate based on real user data — A/B test checkout flows, optimize conversion funnels, and scale infrastructure as traffic grows.
Pricing
Every project is unique. These are starting points — final pricing depends on scope, timeline, and complexity.
