Where stores leak money

Your store might be losing more than it earns.

Four leaks that cost Irish e-commerce stores real money every week — all of them fixable.

Abandoned carts eating your margin

70% of Irish shoppers abandon at checkout. The cause is almost always fixable.

Mobile checkout is a disaster

Over half your customers are on phones, squinting, tapping wrong, leaving.

Shipping confusion at the last step

Rates appear after customers commit. They feel tricked. They leave.

Product search that doesn't work

Visitors can't find what they came for. Your catalogue is effectively invisible.

What we build into your store

Eight modules, one complete store.

Everything that takes a store from 'looks nice' to 'actually sells and processes orders properly'.

Product catalogue setup

Clean data, variants, options, stock sync — the unglamorous work that makes everything else work.

Conversion-focused checkout

One-page, guest-friendly, address lookup, local payment methods prioritised.

Irish & EU payments set up properly

Stripe, Revolut, SumUp, Klarna, Apple/Google Pay. 3D Secure compliant.

Shipping configured for Ireland

An Post, DPD, Fastway integrations. ROI / NI / UK / EU zones with VAT handled.

VAT, invoicing & order compliance

Irish VAT rates, proper invoicing, Revenue-ready exports.

Analytics & conversion tracking

GA4 Enhanced E-commerce, Meta Pixel, Google Ads tags. Know every euro's path.

Returns & customer flow

Return forms, exchange flows, order status emails, post-purchase upsells.

Speed & Core Web Vitals

Fast image delivery, lazy loading, caching. Google cares and so do your shoppers.

Checkout flow done right

Five steps. No surprises.

Every friction point is an opportunity for a visitor to leave. Every reassurance is a reason to stay.

Is it a fit?

We build e-commerce stores that pay for themselves.

Not every business needs a full e-commerce platform. Here's when it makes sense — and when it doesn't.

Right fit
We should talk if…
You're ready to sell online — or replacing a store that isn't working
You sell 10+ products with real catalogue management needs
You want Irish-customer-first checkout (payments, shipping, VAT)
You care about conversion rate, not just having a site that exists
You'll invest in product photography, descriptions, and ongoing work
Not a fit
We'll point you elsewhere if…
You have 2-3 products and a simple contact page would work — see Website Design
You want to sell exclusively on Etsy, eBay, Amazon — see Marketplaces
You're not willing to invest in product data, photos, and copy
You need an enterprise-grade platform (1000s of orders/day) — different conversation

Common questions

E-commerce questions, honestly answered.

The questions Irish SMBs ask us most often.

Depends on your catalogue size, how much customisation you need, and how comfortable your team is with either. Shopify is faster to launch and simpler to run; WooCommerce gives you more control and no monthly platform fees. We help you choose on the discovery call, not try to sell you the one we prefer.
VAT rates are set by product category (23%, 13.5%, 9%, 0%), VAT numbers are validated at checkout for B2B customers, and invoices generate to Revenue standards. Exports ready for your accountant. We've set this up for enough Irish stores to know where the edges are.
Yes — Xero, Sage, QuickBooks, Surf Accounts, Bullet, BrightPay, and Shopify/Woo's native inventory. Or if you use dedicated warehouse/3PL software, we'll connect via their APIs.
Yes. An Post (eCommerce and standard), DPD Ireland, Fastway, and collection points. We configure weight-based or zone-based rates, handle ROI/NI/UK/EU differently, and make sure shipping costs appear honestly before checkout, not as a nasty surprise at payment.
Typical builds run 6–12 weeks depending on catalogue size and integrations. With 50 products ready and straightforward payments/shipping, we can launch in 6 weeks. Larger catalogues, complex integrations, or platform migrations take longer — we'll tell you honestly after scoping.
Platform fees (Shopify €29+/mo, or €0 for WooCommerce with your own hosting), payment processing (1.5-2.5% + 25c typically), plus any apps. Hosting for WooCommerce runs €15-50/mo depending on traffic. We'll map out the realistic ongoing number before you commit.
