How we choose the platform

The choice depends on your business model, not trends. For a fast start with standard logic, Shopify or similar SaaS platforms make sense. For non-standard logic — custom pricing matrices, complex B2B terms, accounting integration — we build a custom store on Next.js with a headless CMS.

Custom development pays off when platform limitations start costing more than the build: monthly plugin fees, workarounds, and key features that simply cannot be implemented.

Store elements that define conversion

The statistics are consistent: most cart abandonments come from a long, confusing checkout. We design checkout around minimal steps, add local payment and delivery methods, and show the full price upfront with no surprises on the last screen.

The second layer is speed: every second of catalog load time costs conversion percentages. Image optimization, caching and server-side rendering are baked into the architecture rather than patched on later.

AI features that actually work in e-commerce

The biggest proven impact comes from personalized recommendations (“frequently bought together”), semantic search that understands human phrasing, and automated product descriptions for large catalogs. This raises average order value and reduces empty search results.

It's important to roll these out gradually with metrics in place: base conversion first, then recommendations, then more complex scenarios. Reversed order wastes budget.

Integrations: payments, delivery, accounting

A store must be part of the company's operational system: online payments, carriers with automatic waybill creation, stock sync with the accounting system, orders flowing into the CRM. We connect everything into one loop so managers never move data by hand.
