“Shopify couldn't handle our tiered pricing across 400 products for 2,000 B2B customers. Maple54 built custom ecom in 12 weeks. Revenue up 340%, manual quotes eliminated.”
Custom commerce beyond Shopify.
Shopify + BigCommerce work great for $10M-and-under brands. Past that, platform limits hit hard. We build custom commerce — headless, multi-channel, enterprise-ready.
Architecture + commerce model
Weeks 1-3Product catalog model, inventory + fulfillment, pricing + promotions, tax + compliance (Avalara / TaxJar), checkout architecture, payment + fraud.
Build sprints
Weeks 4-14Storefront (Next.js / Hydrogen), commerce engine, admin dashboard, checkout, subscriptions, B2B features. Weekly Friday demos.
Integration + QA
Weeks 15-16ERP + WMS + 3PL + ESP integrations, payment-gateway certification, load testing at Black-Friday scale, security + compliance audit.
Launch + iterate
Week 17+Phased rollout, SKU + inventory migration, zero-downtime cutover, ongoing CRO + feature development.
Full custom commerce stack.
Storefront, cart, checkout, admin, integrations — all one cohesive system.
Headless storefront
Next.js / Hydrogen / Remix frontend, edge rendering, CDN caching, image optimization, sub-1.8s LCP, 95+ Lighthouse scores in production.
Commerce engine + admin
Product catalog, inventory, pricing + promotions, tax + compliance, customer accounts, order management. Headless APIs + admin dashboard.
Payment + fraud
Stripe / Adyen / Braintree integration, 3D Secure 2 + PSD2, fraud detection (Signifyd / Kount), multi-currency + multi-market support.
Integrations + extensibility
ERP (NetSuite / SAP) + WMS + 3PL + ESP + review + loyalty systems. Plugin architecture for future integrations without core rewrites.
Built for brands past $10M/year.
Under $10M: Shopify Plus / BigCommerce are typically sufficient. Above $10M: platform limits become revenue ceilings. Custom commerce pays off within 18 months for most brands.
Global Multi-Market DTC
Brands selling in 10+ countries with currency, tax, compliance, + fulfillment complexity that Shopify Markets handles poorly.
B2B + Wholesale Commerce
Quantity discounts, approval workflows, net-30 terms, quote + RFQ, tax-exempt checkout. B2B is fundamentally different from B2C.
Enterprise Retail + Omnichannel
Brick + online + wholesale + marketplaces unified. POS integration, inventory across channels, single customer record + LTV view.
Subscription + Regulated
Supplements, cannabis, pharmacy, CPG subscriptions. Compliance requirements exceed standard Shopify subscription app capabilities.
Boring technology. Exciting outcomes.
Deliberately narrow, battle-tested stack — same tooling that powers Shopify, Notion, Linear, and Vercel.

Ecommerce software, answered honestly.
When do I outgrow Shopify?
Shopify Plus handles up to ~$50M/year easily. Past that, custom work is typically required for multi-region tax, B2B complexity, advanced subscription logic, or ERP integration. We'll tell you honestly when platform limits are hurting you.
Hydrogen + Shopify vs. fully custom?
Hydrogen + Shopify for brands wanting Shopify's reliability + custom storefront flexibility. Fully custom for brands needing commerce-engine customizations (complex pricing, B2B, international tax) that Shopify can't handle.
How much does custom commerce cost?
Hydrogen + Shopify build: $75-200K. Semi-custom commerce ($150-500K): full storefront + commerce-engine customizations. Fully custom ($500K-$2M+): ERP + multi-region + complex compliance.
Migration from Shopify / Magento / BigCommerce?
Standard. Products + customers + orders + SEO all migrate. 400+ ecommerce migrations completed. 60-day monitoring post-launch to catch issues.
Can I keep Shopify admin + build custom storefront?
Yes — common pattern. Hydrogen or custom Next.js frontend, Shopify admin + checkout. Gives you frontend control without rebuilding the entire commerce stack.
