E-commerce & retail

An online shop that sells while you sleep.

Complete catalog, secure payments, inventory and order flow — built for physical products, digital goods, or hybrid retail. New shop or legacy store upgrade: audit first, clear scope.

Request online shop → Free shop audit Modernize existing shop
Three realistic scenarios

New shop, legacy upgrade, or inherited stack?

A greenfield shop, a scoped modernization, and “keep patching the old store” are not the same project. We separate each path — no vague “full rebuild” quotes before we read the stack.

What you need New online shop (HeptaLex) Legacy shop modernization Inherited PrestaShop / WooCommerce
Starting point Discovery call + scope from business goals Free clinical audit of live store Keep running on inherited stack — no structured read
Platform Custom build on supported stack (PHP 8.4+) Scoped upgrade on existing PrestaShop / WooCommerce Old theme, plugins, and vendor lock-in
Checkout & payments Integrated cleanly from day one Fix, replace, or migrate existing payment flow Legacy plugins — fragile checkout, failed orders
PHP / runtime Current supported versions from launch EOL PHP flagged → scoped upgrade path PHP 7.4 / 8.0 — security and compliance risk
Typical timeline Weeks after fixed scope Audit first → phased scope (incremental) Endless patches — never truly “done”
Support HeptaLex through build + handover Documented scope per phase Forums, freelancers, on your own
Investment From €800 custom implementation Free audit → scoped quote (from €800 after scope) Hidden cost: your time + security risk

Why HeptaLex for e-commerce

Scoped delivery, not template theater.

Clear scope before build
We align on catalog size, payments, integrations, and timeline before quoting — not after surprises.
Legacy shops get audit first
Inherited PrestaShop/WooCommerce stores go through clinical stack read — PHP EOL, theme, checkout — before modernization scope.
Human review on production
AI accelerates drafts and structure; every checkout and catalog change is reviewed before go-live.

Let us scope your shop properly.

New build or legacy upgrade — start with a structured contact request or a free audit of your current store.

FAQ

Questions about online shops

Do you only build new shops? + −
No. We also modernize inherited PrestaShop, WooCommerce, and Wix stores — free audit first, then a scoped upgrade path (quoted after we read the stack).
What payment methods can you integrate? + −
Depends on scope and your acquirer: card gateways, bank transfer, cash on delivery — integrated as part of the scoped build, not as an afterthought.
How is pricing determined? + −
New shops: discovery + scope, then quote from €800 custom implementation. Legacy stores: free audit first, then scoped quote — see pricing tiers or contact with package online-shop.
Can you migrate products from an old shop? + −
Often yes, as part of a scoped migration — product data, categories, and redirects are planned in the audit/scope phase, not guessed upfront.
Is hosting included? + −
EU hosting and SSL are part of HeptaLex delivery patterns. Exact setup depends on whether we build new or modernize in place on your current hosting.
