How it works
The same page, for a trade buyer
Switch between a consumer and a signed-in B2B buyer, and change the quantity to see pricing, approvals and quotes.
Oak dining table, 180 cm

$980 $1,249
Your contract price, excl. tax
| 1–9 units | $1,040 each |
| 10–24 units | $980 each |
| 25+ units | $925 each |
- Contract price listPrices negotiated for this company, with quantity breaks.
- Company accountSeveral buyers under one account, each with a role and spending limit.
- Approval neededOrders over $10,000 go to the company's buyer admin first.
- Invoice termsPays by invoice on net 30 terms against a credit limit.
Every old URL, accounted for
We test every old URL against the new store before launch. Import the redirect map, then fix the mistakes it still contains.
0% of organic visits land cleanly
Request
GET /products/oak-table-180
← 404 Not Found
Without redirects, the old URL is a dead end: shoppers from search and old links land on an error, and the page's ranking is lost.

Measuring success
How success is measured
What we report on in enterprise ecommerce projects. Which measures apply, and their targets, are agreed with you at the start.
Sale day, against capacity
We plan capacity for your peak. Black Friday traffic, hour by hour: raise the cache hit ratio and capacity, or add a waiting room.
Peak at origin
1,300
Hours over
6
About 6% of visits hit errors or timeouts at the busiest moments, often in checkout.
Every page the CDN serves from cache never reaches the origin, which is why caching comes before adding servers.
Readiness check
Are you ready for
enterprise ecommerce?
Five questions, about a minute. You'll see what to settle first and a sensible starting point.
Are your requirements documented, including B2B and markets?
Do you know your peak traffic and order volumes?
Is there a list of integrations the platform must support?
Is there a date driving the change, such as a contract end or end of support?
Do you have your current URLs and rankings data?

Build or buy
When you don't need
a custom build
Part of the free technical consultation: when an existing product covers the need, we recommend it instead of a custom build. These are the options we weigh, alongside the tools you already have.
Which of these apply to you?
An upgrade or standard plan may be enough
- Standard SaaS plans, such as Shopify or BigCommerce standard tiers — when moderate traffic, a simple catalogue and consumer-only selling.
- Your current platform's upgrade path — when the current platform meets your needs and a supported upgrade exists.

Questions
Common questions
about enterprise ecommerce
Which platform should we choose?
We recommend one after comparing a shortlist against your catalogue, B2B needs, markets, integrations, team skills and total cost, rather than starting from a favourite.
How long does replatforming take?
The audit produces a scoped plan and timeline, based on your catalogue size, integrations and custom features.
Can we keep our URLs and rankings?
Yes. We map every URL to its new home with a 301 redirect, carry over metadata and monitor Search Console after launch.
How is an ecommerce project priced?
Audits, proofs of concept and well-defined builds are delivered as fixed-price engagements; ongoing optimization and larger programmes use a dedicated team. The free consultation ends with a plan covering platform, architecture, timeline and budget.
