Talk to us

Southampton, Hampshire

Shopify Development in Southampton

Southampton is a major port and cruise city, with maritime, logistics and retail at its core and two universities feeding a growing pool of digital talent. We do the custom Shopify work that sits behind the storefront.

You'll be talking to one of us, not a salesperson.

Plenty of agencies. A different kind of help.

The city isn't short of Shopify agencies, and many are very good at design and brand. If a strong-looking storefront is all you need, you're well served locally. It isn't where we add the most.

We earn our place on the harder work a brand hits once it starts to scale: stock and orders that stay accurate without reconciling them by hand, functionality a theme or app can't deliver, and leaving an outgrown platform without losing rankings or trading days.

In a port and logistics city, getting fulfilment and inventory right is often the difference that matters.

Shopify work for Southampton and Hampshire brands

  • ERP and back-office integration

    Shopify talking properly to NetSuite, Peoplevox, Sage, Xero or your warehouse system, so stock and orders stay right without anyone reconciling them.

  • Custom functionality

    What themes and apps can't do: product configurators, trade portals, account-based pricing and checkout behaviour specific to you.

  • Platform migrations

    Off Magento, Visualsoft, WooCommerce or something home-grown, with products, customers, orders and every old URL handled properly.

  • Alongside your design agency

    Got a designer you trust? Keep them. They own the look, we own the technical layer underneath.

Everything we do on Shopify.

We've worked with Jason and his team on our Shopify store, and the experience was outstanding from start to finish. They clearly understood our vision.

Written in-house, from Kent.

We're a Shopify Select Partner in Gravesend, about 85 miles away in a straight line, with an in-house UK team. Nothing goes offshore.

Day to day it's video calls, a development copy of your store, and Rob or Jase on the phone. If the project needs us in the room, we'll come down.

Signs you need this kind of help

Stock that's right in the warehouse and wrong on the website. Staff retyping orders. A growing pile of apps that don't quite agree. A trade side run from a spreadsheet.

We'd look at how orders really flow through your business, find what's causing the most pain and fix that first, on a development copy of your store so nothing's at risk until it's tested.

Who we've worked with

Over the years we've worked with AX Paris, Motel Rocks and Chi Chi London, high-volume fashion and lifestyle brands that needed more than a theme and an app stack. Read the AX Paris story.

Questions from Southampton Shopify brands

  • You're in Kent. Does the distance matter?

    No. This work is done remotely, with clients all over the UK.

  • Can you connect Shopify to our warehouse or ERP?

    Yes: NetSuite, Peoplevox, Sage and custom warehouse platforms.

  • Can you build our new store?

    Yes, we build stores too, though the custom work behind them is the bulk of what we do. We're happy to work with your designer.

  • Is migrating risky?

    Not if it's done properly. Here's how it runs.

  • Do you look after it afterwards?

    Yes. We stay on.
