Ecommerce

An online store built around your products and your customers.

Make it easier for customers to explore what you sell and move toward a purchase. Malachite Business Solutions plans, builds, and improves online stores, with Shopify as our primary platform.

Designed around your business.

Start where your store needs help.

Whether you are preparing your first launch or improving an existing store, we begin with your products, customers, and the work behind each order.

01

Launch a new store

Turn your product catalog into a storefront with clear collections, useful product pages, and a considered path to checkout.

02

Improve an existing store

Refine navigation, product presentation, mobile layouts, and the parts of the shopping experience that create confusion.

03

Plan a move

Review your current platform, catalog, and integrations, then define what needs to transfer and what can be improved.

Shopify first. Your business needs guide the decision.

Shopify is our primary platform for ecommerce projects. We plan the theme, catalog, and app setup around the way your business sells and manages orders.

WooCommerce when it fits

WooCommerce is a secondary option, particularly when the store needs to sit within a WordPress website. We discuss platform fit, maintenance responsibilities, and ongoing costs before agreeing on the approach.

The aim is a store you can operate confidently, with a scope and toolset you understand.

Agree on the details before the build.

Your store scope can include:

Catalog and collections

Product organization, variants, collection structure, and navigation that help customers find what they need.

Storefront and product pages

Theme setup, responsive layouts, product information, and clear paths from browsing to purchase.

Checkout and order settings

Configuration and testing of agreed payment, shipping, and tax settings using the business requirements you provide.

Apps and integrations

Connections to agreed business tools, with each app’s purpose and recurring cost considered before it is added.

Content and SEO foundations

Page structure, metadata, internal links, and a URL and redirect plan when existing content moves.

Launch and handoff

Test orders, key customer journey checks, and guidance for managing products, content, and routine store tasks.

Review the journey from product to order.

We use the customer journey to guide the layout and testing of your store.

  1. Find

    Make products easier to discover through collections, navigation, and search.

  2. Understand

    Show the product details, images, options, and policies customers need.

  3. Purchase

    Check the cart and checkout path with the agreed payment and delivery options.

  4. Receive

    Review order notifications and the information your team needs to fulfill orders.

Keep ownership and ongoing costs clear.

You should know which accounts you own, how to update the store, and what it costs to keep running. We review platform, theme, app, and support responsibilities during planning.

Any ongoing maintenance or improvement work is scoped separately. You remain responsible for approving product information, store policies, and business settings.

Questions before you start

Do you only work with Shopify?

Shopify is our primary ecommerce platform. WooCommerce is a secondary option when it fits the wider website and operating needs. We confirm the platform during scoping.

Can you improve my existing store?

Yes. We can begin with a review of the current store and agree on focused improvements, such as product organization, navigation, theme layouts, or app setup.

What do I need to provide?

Product details, pricing, images, brand assets, and your shipping, returns, and other business requirements. We agree on any copywriting, image preparation, or catalog entry work in the project scope.

Can you migrate products and existing URLs?

We first check what the current and destination platforms support. The scope identifies the data to move, any limitations, and the redirects needed for changed URLs. Transferable data is checked before launch.

What will the project and ongoing costs be?

Project pricing depends on the catalog, design, content, and integrations. Platform subscriptions, paid themes, apps, and payment fees are considered separately so you can review the expected costs before committing.

Will a new store increase sales?

A clearer store can make shopping easier, but sales also depend on your products, pricing, demand, traffic, and service. We agree on the improvements to deliver without promising a specific sales result.

Let’s talk about what you sell.

Tell us about your products, your current store if you have one, and what you want to launch or improve. We can help define the next step.
