Ecommerce Development and Management Services
Ecommerce development and management services cover both building an online store and running it afterward. Centaur Strategies builds on Shopify and WooCommerce, then handles the ongoing work: product and inventory updates, platform maintenance, marketplace syncing, and conversion optimization. Launch is the start of the engagement, not the end.

Shopify or WooCommerce: Which Should You Build On?
We build on both, and the honest answer is that it depends on four things: how you sell, what you already run, how much control you need, and who maintains it.
| Shopify | WooCommerce | |
| Best for | Retail and DTC brands wanting speed to market | Businesses already on WordPress, or needing unusual functionality |
| Hosting | Included and managed by Shopify | Your responsibility — we handle it |
| Monthly cost | Platform fee plus apps | Hosting plus plugins |
| Transaction fees | Applies unless using Shopify Payments | None from the platform |
| Customisation ceiling | High, but within Shopify’s architecture | Effectively unlimited |
| Maintenance burden | Low — platform handles updates | Higher — plugins and core need managing |
| Content and SEO control | Good, with some URL structure constraints | Full control |
| B2B and wholesale | Requires Shopify Plus or apps | Native with extensions |
Short version: if you are starting fresh and selling straightforward retail, Shopify usually wins on time and overhead. If you already run WordPress, need deep customization, or sell B2B with complex pricing rules, WooCommerce usually wins.
We make this recommendation in discovery, before anyone has committed to a platform.

Ecommerce Development Built Around How You Sell
As an ecommerce development company, we start with your catalog and your operations rather than a theme.
The questions that shape the build:
- How many SKUs, and how many variants per product?
- Do prices differ by customer, quantity, or region?
- What happens after the order — which system handles fulfillment, and does it need to talk to the store?
- Are you selling anywhere else, and does inventory need to stay in sync?
- Subscriptions, bundles, pre-orders, wholesale, or straightforward retail?
Getting these wrong at the build stage is expensive to fix later, because catalog structure and pricing logic sit underneath everything else.
Store Management After Launch
Most ecommerce problems appear after go-live, and most of them are unglamorous: an app update breaks a checkout step, a supplier feed changes format, a payment gateway deprecates an API, inventory drifts out of sync with a marketplace.
Our online store management services and ecommerce store management services cover the ongoing work:
| Catalogue | Product uploads, variant management, pricing updates, seasonal merchandising |
| Inventory | Sync across store, marketplaces, and any ERP or POS system |
| Platform | Theme, app, and plugin updates, tested before going live |
| Performance | Page speed monitoring, image optimization, script auditing |
| Payments and shipping | Gateway, tax, and shipping rule maintenance as rates and rules change |
| Reporting | Revenue, AOV, conversion rate, and channel performance monthly |
Where Stores Actually Lose Revenue
Most stores do not have a traffic problem. They leak arrival and purchase, and it is usually in one of five places: page speed, product page information gaps, unexpected shipping costs revealed late, a checkout with too many steps, or mobile layout failures on the payment screen.
Our ecommerce conversion rate optimization work finds and tests these systematically rather than redesigning on instinct.
Frequently Asked Questions
We build on Shopify, WooCommerce, and Magento, and develop fully custom solutions where needed. We recommend platforms based on your business model, catalog size, and growth requirements — not based on what is easiest for us.
Amazon listing optimization improves every element of your product page — title, bullet points, description, images, A+ Content, and backend keywords — to maximize your search visibility on Amazon and your conversion rate once shoppers find you.
Amazon listing optimization is the practice of improving every element of your product detail page — title, bullet points, description, backend keywords, images, and A+ Content — to maximize both your organic search visibility within Amazon and your conversion rate once shoppers land on your page. It matters because Amazon operates as a search engine, and products that are not optimized for its algorithm are consistently outranked by competitors. Centaur Strategies’ Amazon listing optimization service is data-driven, combining keyword research with compelling copywriting and visual strategy.
