Ecommerce development in Porto
Stores built for the checkout, not just the catalog. Delivered from this practice, one accountable senior, written scopes, published rate bands.
What ecommerce development covers in Porto
Stores built for the checkout: platform setup, catalog structure, payment and shipping plumbing, and a checkout walked end-to-end before launch, payment captured, order recorded, receipt delivered, refund working.
The checkout gets the most engineering because it is the most expensive page: cost transparency early, guest checkout, express wallets, and error-free forms mapped to the documented abandonment causes.
Platform choice follows the catalog model: Shopify where platform-owned checkout removes work, WooCommerce where the catalog model is idiosyncratic and the data must stay yours.
