The challenge

Where teams get stuck

The problems we're most often brought in to solve.

  1. 01

    Platform cannot express your catalogue

    The current theme cannot support B2B pricing tiers, bundles or multi-warehouse inventory.

  2. 02

    Checkout abandonment remains high

    Customers abandon at checkout, and no one owns diagnosing and resolving the causes.

  3. 03

    Product pages underperform

    Heavy apps and themes slow product and collection pages, reducing search visibility and conversion.

  4. 04

    Back office is disconnected

    Orders, stock and accounting are re-keyed manually between the store, ERP and warehouse.

Overview

Digital Commerce at VulcanTech

Ecommerce development is the engineering of online storefronts and the commerce logic, payments and integrations behind them. VulcanTech builds commerce platforms on Shopify or fully headless architectures, designed for checkout conversion, page speed and business logic standard themes cannot express: subscriptions, B2B pricing tiers and multi-warehouse inventory. We integrate payments, tax, ERP and inventory systems, and instrument analytics so you can see precisely where customers abandon.

  • Checkout optimisation and abandonment recovery
