› THE PROBLEM
Theme edits stop paying off once the funnel is the bottleneck.
A theme change and another app can carry a store a long way. Past a certain revenue, the constraints move into the checkout, the subscription logic, and the systems behind the storefront, and none of those are template work.
The Commerce Lab works on that layer: checkout extensions, headless storefronts, and the integrations that keep stock, orders, and email in step. Every sprint is measured against conversion, not tickets closed.
› CAPABILITIES
What this team builds
Shopify Plus builds
Themes, sections, and store architecture built to survive traffic spikes and merchandising changes.
Custom checkout
Checkout extensibility, one-tap upsells, Shop Pay, and the payment edge cases that quietly cost orders.
Headless storefronts
Headless Shopify on Hydrogen, or Next.js storefronts, when speed and layout control matter more than theme convenience.
Subscriptions and reorder
Recurring orders, one-tap reorder, and the retention mechanics behind repeat revenue.
Conversion experiments
Instrumented tests on the funnel, with the result written down whichever way it goes.
Ops integrations
ERP, 3PL, and email platforms kept in step with stock and orders, so the storefront tells the truth.

› QUESTIONS
Asked on most scoping calls
That is the work, without the agency around it. The same Plus builds, checkout extensibility and headless storefronts, but no discovery phase, no account manager, and the price is on the site before you call.
No. Most of this work lands on Plus because checkout extensibility and Shop Pay need it, but standard Shopify, headless builds, and other platforms are all in scope. We will say on the call which parts your plan blocks.
Yes, with a freeze window. We agree what ships before the freeze, and during it the sprint switches to monitoring, hotfixes, and conversion analysis instead of new features.
Whichever costs you less over a year. An app that does the job is a fine answer; we write custom code when the app tax, the performance hit, or the missing edge case makes it the wrong one.
One measurable slice of the funnel: a checkout step, a reorder flow, or the subscription logic behind it, live and instrumented. Median time from the scoping call to the first commit is four days.
First 14 days are on us. Not convinced? Full refund, regardless of sprint length. It runs from the day your first sprint starts. So far, every client who completed a sprint has come back for another.
The scoping call is 30 minutes and sets the sprint length. The first commit follows in four days on median.
