E-commerce

Stores that hold up after the first sale.

An online store is an operational system, not a catalogue with a buy button. We build storefronts where the product structure, checkout, tax, shipping and order flow are configured and tested before launch.

From product to order, and what happens around it.

The path a customer takes, and the configuration that has to be right before they take it: tax rules, shipping, payment handling and the analytics that record what happened.

01 — APPROACH
Approach

Checkout is where careless builds get found out.

Most store problems appear after launch: tax calculated wrongly for a neighbouring province, shipping that quotes the same price to two very different addresses, an order confirmation that never sends. None of that is visible in a design mockup.

So the operational configuration is part of the build rather than something handed to you as homework afterwards. Payment is implemented so card details are handled by Stripe and never reach your store.

  • Card details never touch your store. Payment is handled by Stripe. DotWeb does not store or process card numbers at any point.
  • Tax and shipping configured before launch. Rules set for the regions you actually sell to, then tested with real addresses.
  • Order flow tested end to end. Confirmation emails, inventory changes and fulfilment records checked before the store opens.
  • Analytics you own. GA4 configured in your own account, so the numbers are yours to check independently.
02 — CAPABILITIES
Capabilities

What e-commerce work covers.

Quoted individually or together against a written deliverable list.

01

WooCommerce builds

Stores on WordPress, with full control over templates and checkout behaviour.

02

Shopify builds

Hosted storefronts where speed to launch and lower maintenance matter more than deep customisation.

03

Catalogue structure

Products, variants, collections and inventory arranged so browsing makes sense at scale.

04

Checkout configuration

A checkout flow that asks for what is needed and nothing more.

05

Stripe integration

Payments implemented so card details are handled by Stripe rather than your server.

06

Tax configuration

Tax rules set for the provinces and states you sell into.

07

Shipping rules

Zones, rates and carrier configuration matched to how you actually ship.

08

Order & fulfilment flow

Confirmation, status changes and the records your team relies on.

09

Responsive storefronts

Browsing and checkout tested on phones, where much of the traffic will be.

10

Store migrations

Moving an existing store with products, customers and URLs intact.

11

Analytics setup

GA4 and e-commerce events configured in accounts you own.

12

Post-launch support

Fixes and enhancements after opening, quoted the same way as the build.

How pricing works

Pricing shown represents typical project ranges. Final pricing depends on the exact scope, complexity, deliverables, integrations, volume of work and other project requirements. Your exact project price and expected timeline are confirmed before payment.

Process

Six steps from enquiry to handover.

The same sequence on every store build. Delivery timing for e-commerce is confirmed in the project scope before payment.

Deliverables, project price and expected timeline, written down and sent for your approval.

06 — STANDARDS
Operating standards

How the work is held to account.

Six standards that apply to every project. Each is something you can confirm rather than take on trust.

Clearly scoped

Written scope first

Deliverables are defined in writing and approved before any work begins.

Visible

Staging before production

Work is reviewed in a private environment you can open at any point.

Maintainable

Readable by whoever is next

Conventional platforms and a plain structure, so you are never locked to one supplier.

Transferred

Yours at completion

Full ownership of the agreed deliverables transfers when the project completes.

Fast to start

Initiation in 24–48 h

Once payment and the required project materials and access are received, project initiation typically occurs within 24–48 hours. Delivery timing is set by the scope.

Measurable

Reported in your accounts

Search and advertising work is reported through accounts you own and access directly.

07 — TERMS
Commercial terms

How payment works

Once the project scope and price are confirmed, DotWeb sends a secure Stripe payment link. The payment page may display our Premium Plan payment option; enter the exact amount confirmed for your project. Do not enter a different amount unless DotWeb has confirmed the change.

Payments are processed securely through Stripe. DotWeb does not store card details.

Statement descriptor

Your card or bank statement may display SECUREDOTWEB for payments made to DotWeb IT Solutions.

Please retain your payment confirmation email so you can easily identify the transaction later. It shows the DotWeb IT Solutions business name, the project details and the amount paid.
