Retail & E-commerce · Prototype → Production
It survived the demo. Now survive Black Friday.
Load, payments, inventory correctness and observability added to a storefront or marketplace prototype before real traffic finds the cracks.
- Auth, DB, payments wired in
- Zero-regression code audit
- 30–60 day launch window
- Post-launch support included
What we build
Prototype → Production for e-commerce, specifically.
- 01
Checkout and payment hardening
Idempotent order creation, webhook replay handling and reconciliation — the difference between a demo checkout and one that can't double-charge.
- 02
Inventory correctness under concurrency
Oversell protection with real locking, tested with concurrent traffic rather than hoped for.
- 03
Performance and Core Web Vitals
Image pipeline, caching and rendering strategy fixed against the field data Google actually ranks on, not a lab score.
What we measure
- p95 latency and error rate at projected peak
- Core Web Vitals from field data
- Payment failure and duplicate-order rate
Instrumented in week one and reported weekly. These are the numbers the engagement is judged on — not a forecast of what they'll be.
Constraints
What has to be true in e-commerce.
- 01
The catalogue is the ground truth
Answers about price, stock and fit come from your product data at query time, never from what the model remembers about a product from training. Out-of-stock claims are a refund conversation later.
- 02
Peak traffic is a design input
Sale-day load is where naive AI support falls over and where costs spike hardest. We put rate limits, caching and per-conversation cost ceilings in before launch, not after the first invoice.
- 03
Returns policy is policy, not vibes
Eligibility is evaluated by your rules engine, with the agent explaining the outcome. A model improvising goodwill on returns is an unbudgeted liability.
How it runs
The Prototype → Production engagement, step by step.
- 1
Code audit
We review every file. Find dead code, hidden bugs, security holes, and cost traps left by the generator. Send you a written report.
- 2
Foundation
Real auth (Clerk / Auth.js), real database (Postgres / Supabase) with migrations and RLS, real payments (Stripe), real env management.
- 3
Tests + CI
Vitest + Playwright + GitHub Actions. So the next time you regenerate something with AI, the suite tells you what broke.
- 4
Production
Deploy to Vercel / Fly / Railway with monitoring, error tracking, alerting, and on-call rotation. Mobile-responsive and PWA-ready.
- 5
Handoff
Documented codebase, runbooks, and a 30-day support window. We can keep building with you, or hand it cleanly to your team.
Integrations
Systems we wire into for e-commerce.
- Shopify & WooCommerce
- Gorgias, Zendesk & Intercom
- Klaviyo
- Stripe & Razorpay
- Shiprocket, Delhivery & carrier APIs
- Algolia / Typesense
- GA4 & server-side tagging
- Meta & Google Ads APIs
FAQ
E-commerce prototype to production: your questions.
Can you make our Lovable storefront handle real traffic?
Usually yes — see the migration guides for the platform-specific version of this. The generated frontend is often fine; the order, payment and inventory layers are where we spend the time.
How long before we can take real orders?
For a working prototype with a clean scope, 30 to 60 days including the audit. The audit itself takes 3 to 5 days and tells you the honest number before you commit to the rest.
How much of my Bolt / Lovable / v0 code can you actually keep?
Usually 30–70%. We salvage your UI and product logic; we replace the auth, DB, and integration layers because those are the parts AI generators get wrong.
Can you fix it without a full rewrite?
Most of the time, yes — that's our default. We rewrite from scratch only when the codebase is genuinely too far gone, and we'll tell you which it is in the first audit.
