Ecommerce & Retail Technology
High-Converting Ecommerce Development & AI Retail Automation
We build Shopify stores, WooCommerce platforms, custom ecommerce applications, and AI-powered retail automation for online retailers across the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, and Europe. From MVP store to enterprise marketplace - built to convert, built to scale.
What makes a high-converting ecommerce store?
A high-converting ecommerce store requires four things: (1) fast load speed (under 2 seconds - every 1-second delay reduces conversions by 7%), (2) a frictionless mobile checkout flow (70%+ of ecommerce traffic is mobile), (3) trust signals throughout the buying journey (reviews, guarantees, security badges), and (4) personalised product recommendations showing customers what they actually want to buy. SpiderHunts builds all four into every ecommerce project - from Shopify stores to custom platforms - for online retailers worldwide.

Conversion-Focused Development
We build every store with conversion rate as the primary metric - not just visual design. Load speed, mobile UX, checkout friction, and trust signals are optimised from the first line of code.

Multi-Market Experience
We build stores for USA, UK, UAE, Australia, Canada, and European markets - with local payment methods (iDEAL, Klarna, Afterpay, PayNow), currencies, and tax configurations built in from the start.
Transparent Fixed Pricing
Clear project quotes with milestone-based payments - no hourly rate surprises. You know the cost before a single line of code is written.
Mobile-First Build
70%+ of ecommerce traffic is mobile. Every store we build is optimised for mobile checkout completion, fast loading on 4G connections, and App Store/Google Play listing if native apps are required.
Secure Payment Integration
We integrate Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Afterpay, Clearpay, Mollie, iDEAL, and local payment gateways - with PCI-DSS compliant data handling and fraud prevention built in.

Ecommerce Development - Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build Shopify stores and Shopify Plus platforms?
Yes. We build custom Shopify stores, Shopify Plus enterprise platforms, and headless Shopify builds using Hydrogen and Remix. Our Shopify work includes custom theme development, app integration, payment gateway setup (Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, Afterpay), multi-currency/multi-language stores, and post-launch CRO and SEO optimisation. We handle everything from initial brand setup to complex Shopify Plus automations and B2B channel configuration.
Can you build a custom ecommerce platform instead of Shopify or WooCommerce?
Yes. When off-the-shelf ecommerce platforms do not fit your business model - complex B2B ordering, marketplace platforms, subscription commerce, or high-volume wholesale - we build custom ecommerce applications using React/Next.js, Node.js, and PostgreSQL with Stripe payment integration and full API architecture. Custom platforms give you complete control over features, data, and scalability with no platform fees or restrictions.
What AI features can you add to an ecommerce store?
The highest-ROI ecommerce AI features we build include: personalised product recommendation engines (increasing average order value by 15-30%), AI-powered abandoned cart recovery sequences (recovering 20-35% of abandoned carts), dynamic pricing engines, AI customer support chatbots (handling 60-70% of Tier-1 queries), and inventory demand forecasting. These features work across Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom platforms via API integration.
How long does it take to build a Shopify store or ecommerce platform?
A custom Shopify store takes 4-8 weeks. A WooCommerce build with custom functionality takes 6-10 weeks. A full headless or custom ecommerce platform takes 12-20 weeks depending on complexity. We run two-week sprints with working demos throughout the build, so you see progress at every stage - not just at final delivery. Timeline depends on the number of integrations, product catalogue complexity, and custom feature requirements.
Can you migrate our existing store to Shopify or WooCommerce?
Yes. We handle complete ecommerce migrations including product data, customer records, order history, SEO redirects, and payment gateway setup - from Magento, BigCommerce, WooCommerce, custom platforms, or any other ecommerce system to your target platform. Our migration process preserves all 301 redirects, meta data, and URL structures to protect existing search rankings. We run parallel testing before any cutover to ensure zero downtime.
Do you optimise ecommerce stores for conversion rate (CRO)?
Yes. Beyond building the store, we offer post-launch CRO services including A/B testing, checkout flow optimisation, product page redesign, landing page testing, and heatmap analysis - focused on measurable improvements to conversion rate and average order value. CRO work is typically offered as a monthly retainer after launch, with each sprint targeting specific friction points identified in analytics data.
How much does ecommerce development cost?
A custom Shopify store costs $8,000-$25,000. A WooCommerce build costs $10,000-$30,000. A custom headless or bespoke ecommerce platform costs $30,000-$120,000+. All builds include payment gateway integration, mobile optimisation, and basic SEO setup. We provide fixed-price quotes after a discovery call - no hourly rate surprises and no scope creep risk on fixed-price contracts.
