Frequently Asked Questions: Retail
Should we build a custom online shop or use Shopify?
For most retailers, a headless Shopify setup with custom Next.js frontend offers the best balance of flexibility and cost. Fully custom shops make sense for unique business models or 1M+ annual revenue. We help you decide.
How much does a custom e-commerce solution cost?
Custom online shops range from €20,000 to €100,000 depending on complexity. A headless Shopify with custom frontend starts at €20,000. Fully custom with inventory management starts at €40,000.
Can AI help with inventory management?
Yes. AI-powered demand forecasting reduces overstock by 20-30% and stockouts by 40%. Automated reordering, seasonal trend analysis, and supplier optimization are all possible.
Do you build loyalty and customer retention apps?
Yes. Custom loyalty apps with points, tiers, personalized offers, and push notifications. Integration with your POS and e-commerce platform ensures a unified customer view.
Can you integrate online and offline sales channels?
Absolutely. Omnichannel solutions with unified inventory, click-and-collect, in-store returns for online orders, and consistent pricing across all channels.
What about AR product visualization?
We build AR experiences that let customers visualize furniture, decor, or fashion items in their space or on themselves. This reduces return rates by 25-40% for applicable product categories.
How long does an e-commerce project take?
A Shopify headless frontend takes 4-6 weeks. A fully custom shop with inventory management takes 8-16 weeks. We always start with an MVP and iterate based on real customer data.
Can you migrate from our existing shop system?
Yes. We handle migrations from WooCommerce, Magento, Gambio, and other platforms. Product data, customer accounts, and order history are migrated with zero downtime.
