# Custom Headless Commerce Storefront

## Who this is for
- Small businesses whose way of selling does not fit a standard theme.
- Shops paying platform fees and per-app subscriptions that grow with
  revenue rather than with use.
- Makers, wholesalers, and print-on-demand sellers who need the checkout to
  match how stock actually works for them.
- European sellers who need VAT, invoicing, and data handling to be correct
  rather than approximately correct.

## Problem
- A theme built for everyone fits no one. The compromises show up exactly
  where the business is distinctive.
- Platform fees and app subscriptions are a permanent tax on revenue.
- Off-the-shelf storefronts routinely put customer and payment data outside
  the EU without making that visible.
- Custom development is widely assumed to be out of reach for a small shop,
  which is no longer true.

## What we do
- Build a Headless Commerce storefront designed for one shop, yours, with
  the catalogue, cart, and checkout drawn around how you sell.
- Configure the parts that decide whether a shop can legally open:
  languages, transactional email, tax and VAT, payments, shipping, legal
  pages, accounts and orders, measurement.
- Support the four common ways to fill a shop: you hold the stock, made on
  demand, your supplier's platform, or a trade catalogue.
- Host in Europe, end to end, from the storefront to the invoice.

## Outcomes
- A storefront that looks and behaves like your business rather than like a
  template.
- No platform fees and no per-app subscription stack.
- Customer and payment data handled under EU rules by default.
- A shop that is genuinely ready to open, not one that still needs a month
  of configuration.

## How we work
- Fixed scope, from around EUR 5,000 for a full custom build.
- Built end to end by one senior engineer, so the design, the checkout, and
  the infrastructure are decided together.
- The unglamorous work (tax rules, email deliverability, legal pages) is
  part of the build, not an afterthought.
