E-commerce development

Halt Designs builds e-commerce stores on Shopify, Adobe Commerce and custom PHP for merchants in the United States, United Kingdom and Europe. Builds integrate Stripe, Shopify Payments, Klarna and Afterpay, and connect to fulfilment systems including ShipStation, Royal Mail Click & Drop and Deutsche Post.

The hard part of a store is rarely the product grid. It is tax that calculates correctly across state lines or VAT bands, the fulfilment API that produces a real tracking number, and a stock count that stays true when the same unit sells on the site, on Amazon and in a physical shop.

We wire those together. The storefront is the visible tenth of the work, and the part your customers forgive fastest.

What you get

  • Payments — Stripe, Shopify Payments, PayPal, Klarna, Afterpay
  • Tax handled correctly — US sales tax, UK and EU VAT, and GST where a store ships into markets that require it
  • Fulfilment integration — ShipStation, Royal Mail, DHL, 3PL
  • Stock sync across storefront, marketplace and physical retail

Questions

E-Commerce Development, in detail.

Should I use Shopify or a custom store?

Shopify is the right answer for most merchants under roughly five million dollars in annual revenue: it is cheaper to run and faster to launch. A custom build earns its cost when you have unusual pricing logic, a complex catalog, or a system Shopify cannot integrate with cleanly.

Can you migrate my store from Magento 1?

Yes. Magento 1 reached end of life in June 2020 and no longer receives security patches. We migrate products, customers and order history to Adobe Commerce, Shopify or a custom build, depending on your catalog size and budget.

Can you handle sales tax and VAT correctly?

Yes. US builds use Shopify Tax or Avalara for multi-state nexus, and UK and EU builds handle VAT registration thresholds and reverse charge. Where a store ships into a market with its own GST or import rules, we configure that too.
