What we engineer

Six capabilities under ecommerce engineering.

Shopify (Plus & Standard)

Custom themes, sections, checkout extensions, B2B catalogs, Plus migrations. Native code — no PageFly, no GemPages.

WooCommerce at scale

Subscriptions, multi-vendor, B2B tier scoping, custom shipping logic, performance engineering that survives Black Friday.

Headless commerce

Next.js frontends with Shopify Storefront API or WooCommerce REST. Edge-rendered. Sub-1s LCP.

Custom Shopify apps

Merchant-specific internal tools, OMS integrations, supplier portals. No App Store revenue share, no third-party data leakage.

Multi-vendor marketplaces

Built one for the Mexican restaurant industry (Mercanto). Built one for AI art (Artika). We know the patterns.

Speed engineering

Core Web Vitals pass guaranteed. LCP under 2.5s on mobile. Average lift: 25-40%.

FAQs

Common questions about ecommerce engineering.

What does an ecommerce build with Lofts Studio effort?

Stock-theme setups, custom Shopify builds, Shopify Plus migrations, and headless rebuilds are scoped privately after discovery. Every project is milestone-led.

Do you do Shopify Plus migrations?

Yes — 14 completed in the last five years. Average timeline: 8–12 weeks for a real B2B-enabled migration.

Can you handle WooCommerce stores doing high traffic?

Yes. Object caching (Redis), proper hosting (managed WooCommerce), and a stripped plugin stack. Most stores we touch see 30-50% TTFB improvement.

Do you build on Shopify themes or custom?

Both. Stock themes for tight-deadline launches. Custom themes when the brand needs it. We don't use page builders — they slow stores down.
