Whether you are migrating to Shopify Plus, building headless commerce on Next.js, or launching a multi-vendor marketplace, we ship code that moves real metrics.

eCommerce software development builds the storefronts, marketplaces, and order systems that power online retail. The work covers platform builds on Shopify Plus, Magento, BigCommerce, or custom stacks, headless commerce frontends, multi-vendor marketplaces, B2B portals, mobile commerce apps, and integrations with ERP, OMS, and payment infrastructure. Retailers hire eCommerce software development partners to launch new storefronts, migrate platforms, or build differentiated commerce experiences.
We build custom Shopify Plus storefronts on Hydrogen, custom checkout extensions, Shopify Functions for pricing and discounts, and Shopify Flow automations. Themes are built mobile first and tuned for Core Web Vitals. We also handle Plus account setup, scripts migration to Functions, and Launchpad event readiness.
Next.js front ends backed by Shopify, BigCommerce, or Commercetools. We wire GraphQL Storefront APIs, set up Vercel or AWS Amplify hosting, and handle the catalog, cart, and checkout flows. Edge caching, ISR, and CDN strategy are scoped early so launch traffic does not break the storefront.
We build on Magento 2 and Adobe Commerce B2B, deliver PWA Studio storefronts, and run migrations from Magento 1. Work covers custom modules, tax and shipping logic, and Adobe Commerce Cloud deployments.
We build multi-vendor marketplaces with vendor onboarding flows, escrow payments, commission management, dispute handling, and KYC. Stack is typically Next.js with Node.js on the API layer and Postgres for the data layer.
B2B portals with custom catalogs, customer-specific pricing, account hierarchies, quote workflows, and approval chains. Integrations cover Salesforce, HubSpot, NetSuite, and SAP order systems.
We ship React Native and Flutter commerce apps, plus native iOS and Android when needed. Work covers push notifications, deep links, in-app payments, and offline catalog browsing for thin network regions.
A commerce lead runs scoping calls with your team. We capture catalog size, channel mix, payment regions, and integration list. Output is a written scope and a sprint plan.
We map product data, SKUs, variants, tax rules, and shipping zones. ERP, OMS, PIM, and CRM integrations are listed with payload samples. Risk areas are flagged before code starts.
Two-week sprints with a demo every Friday. You get sprint goals, burndown, and a shared backlog. An engineering manager runs delivery and reports to your team weekly.
Pre-launch covers load testing, security review, and a soft launch window. Post-launch covers four weeks of hardening on a fixed schedule. Code, docs, and access are handed over to your team or kept under our retainer.
Hourly rates run from $13 to $25. Monthly engagements run from $1,200 to $4,000 per engineer. Rates sit on the public site. No hidden margins, no surprise change orders. Scope, sprint plan, and weekly billing are written into the master agreement at signing.
We have shipped Shopify, Magento, BigCommerce, and custom marketplaces since 2012. The team has seen the migration patterns, the payment edge cases, and the inventory sync failures that break weaker builds.
ScalaCode holds active Shopify Plus Partner status with current project deliveries. This gives our team direct partner support, early access to features, and a documented track record on the platform.
All code, designs, and assets are yours from day one. We sign IP assignment in the master agreement. No staged ownership, no buyout clauses.
Every engagement gets a named engineering manager. This person owns sprint planning, risk reporting, and quality. You get one point of contact, not a rotating roster.
Shopify Plus Partner and Adobe Solution Partner badges indicate qualified delivery.
Next.js with Shopify or BigCommerce APIs is the modern stack.
Stripe, Adyen, Razorpay, and regional gateway coverage matters for global rollout.
NetSuite, SAP, and custom ERP integration patterns vary widely in difficulty.
Core Web Vitals scores on past builds predict your conversion rate.
Custom catalogs, account hierarchies, and quote workflows are not standard.
Platform migrations need cutover plans, dual-write windows, and SEO preservation.
A retained team of 3 to 8 engineers, a designer, and a QA lead. Monthly billing, two-week notice to scale up or down. Best for ongoing roadmaps.
A defined milestone build with a written scope and a fixed fee. Used for storefront rebuilds, B2B portals, and marketplace launches. Change requests handled by written addenda.
Magento 1 to Magento 2. Magento to Shopify Plus. WooCommerce to BigCommerce. Headless cutovers from monolithic stacks. We migrate the catalog, orders, customer data, and SEO redirects with a documented switchover plan.
A short engagement to stabilize a struggling site. Common cases include checkout abandonment spikes, broken integrations, Core Web Vitals failures, and theme rollback after a failed update. Rescue runs are scoped weekly with a written stop point.

I looked around at several developers to compare costs, but they didn’t fit within my budget. Finally, I reached out to a company in India called ScalaCode. We set up several online meetings over a couple of weeks and came up with an app that did exactly what I wanted within my budget. I can confidently say that ScalaCode has been an excellent choice for me.

Manuel
CEO, 4SaleThe application was basically built from scratch, and was complicated, as the software was to be integrated with a certain Medical EHR software. As the CEO of SHG, I was very pleased with the services, expertise, and support we received from ScalaCode, from the beginning directly through the first LIVE implementation.
