Ecommerce management: your store, looked after between launches
Catalogue, orders, integrations and upkeep handled, so the store keeps earning while you run the business.
What is ecommerce management?
Ecommerce management is the ongoing running of an online store: adding and updating products, keeping checkout and payments working, managing apps and integrations with stock, shipping and accounting, speed and conversion upkeep, and preparing for peaks like Black Friday. It keeps the store correct and selling while you run the business.
An online store is not a project that finishes. Products change, payment providers deprecate APIs, a checkout plugin updates and quietly breaks Apple Pay. This is the ongoing work of keeping a store correct and fast.

What eCommerce Management covers.
Catalogue and merchandising
Products, variants, pricing and collections kept accurate and well organised.
Checkout and payments
Tested after every update, because a broken checkout is invisible until the revenue drops.
Integrations
Stock, accounting, shipping and CRM kept talking to each other.
Peak-traffic readiness
Load-tested and hardened before the sale, not during it.
Conversion housekeeping
The small persistent fixes that compound — speed, forms, product pages.

How much does ecommerce management cost?
Our ecommerce management starts at £189 a month for Shopify or WooCommerce stores, with the scope agreed around your catalogue size and integrations. Bigger jobs, like a new feature or migration, are quoted separately.
Do you work with Shopify and WooCommerce?
Yes, both, and custom stores too. If you're deciding between them, our Shopify vs WooCommerce guide sets out the trade-offs.
Can you upload and manage our products?
Yes: product listings, variants, images, collections, pricing and sale set-ups, plus keeping product data tidy for Google Shopping.
Can you connect our store to stock, shipping and accounting systems?
Yes. We build and look after integrations with inventory, couriers, Xero or QuickBooks, ERPs and marketplaces, and fix them when an update breaks something.
Will you get the store ready for Black Friday?
Yes. Before peaks we check speed, test checkout and payments, review apps, set up promotions and make sure hosting can take the traffic.
Can you run our ads and SEO as well?
Yes. Store management pairs naturally with Google Shopping, Meta ads and SEO, all run by the same team so changes on the store and in the ads stay in step.
