Commerce Infrastructure,
Not a Shopping Cart
For businesses where selling is the whole operation — not a feature attached to a marketing site — the commerce layer needs to be engineered from the ground up.
Stripe-native. Flask-built. Fully owned.
Custom Stores
Off-the-Shelf Platforms
- Monthly platform fee plus per-transaction cut
- Plugins compound your security exposure
- Customization ends at the platform's limits
- Your data lives in their system, on their terms
- Support from a help desk, not a developer
STB Custom Build
- Single project price, no ongoing fees
- Flask-native — no plugin surface to compromise
- Built to your exact product and checkout logic
- Your data, your server, your deployment
- Direct developer access post-launch
When your store runs on Shopify, WooCommerce, Wix, or any platform, you are renting a commerce engine — and paying for the privilege on every transaction. Monthly platform fees. Transaction percentages. A plugin ecosystem that grows your attack surface with every add-on you install. And a customization ceiling that appears the moment your business diverges from what their template assumed.
An STB custom store is engineered specifically for your catalog, your checkout logic, and your customers. Built on Flask, connected natively to Stripe, and deployed on infrastructure you control entirely. No platform fees. No recurring monthly tax on your own revenue. No vendor deciding what your store can and cannot do. It is 100% your own property
Base pricing for e-commerce builds starts at the Store package on our Websites page. Final cost is scoped and quoted per project — every build is different.
Product Configuration
Configuration Types
- Variant trees — color, size, grade, weight
- Seasonal availability windows
- Customer-specific option sets
- Filters — make, model, year
- Bundle and kit definitions
Pricing Logic
- Quantity break pricing
- Tiered customer discounts
- Bundle pricing rules
- Coverage and unit conversion pricing
- Contractor and wholesale tiers
Most products are more complex than a simple add-to-cart suggests. A seed SKU has a variety, a package size, a quantity tier, and a seasonal availability window. A roofing material has a color, a grade, a square footage calculation, and a contractor or volume discount. The moment a product has more than one dimension of variation, a standard cart slip into long, slow churns or break down altogether.
We build configurators matched to the actual logic of your catalog. Variant trees, rules-based pricing, bundle definitions, quantity breaks, customer-specific option sets — whatever combination your products genuinely require. No forcing your inventory into a simplistic and clumsy attribute system. No workarounds that collapse under edge cases or even modest variations.
This applies across industries we serve — agricultural supply with seasonal SKUs, building materials with grade and coverage calculations, equipment with make-model-year compatibility, flooring with material-size-finish pricing matrices. If the product has real-world complexity, the commerce engine should reflect it.
B2B Portals
B2B Account Features
- Customer-specific pricing tiers
- Net-30 / Net-60 payment terms
- Purchase order workflows
- Sales rep account assignment
- Minimum order enforcement
- Order history and invoice access
- Approval workflows for large orders
- Wholesale registration and vetting
Consumer checkout was built for one buyer, one price, one transaction. It has nothing useful to say about net-30 terms, customer-specific pricing, minimum order requirements, or purchase order workflows. If you sell wholesale — to contractors, dealers, distributors, or any buyer operating under an account — standard e-commerce platforms were not built for your world.
B2B commerce runs on relationships and rules. Who gets what price. How orders are approved. What payment terms an account carries. Which rep owns the account. These are not edge cases — they are the structure of the business. A portal that handles them needs to be built from the ground up, not patched together from a consumer checkout tool.
We build B2B portals as integrated systems — account management, tiered pricing, purchase order workflows, rep assignment, order history, and invoice access — all engineered to how your wholesale operation actually works.
Headless Architecture
Commerce Layer
- Product catalog and inventory
- Pricing engine and rules
- Stripe-native checkout
- Order management
- Customer accounts and history
Content Layer
- Storefront templates
- Product pages and descriptions
- Marketing and campaign content
- Editor-managed updates
- Multi-storefront support
If you already have a website — and you are happy with it — you should not have to tear it down just to add commerce functionality. We can build the e-commerce infrastructure and connect it to your existing site. What you have stays in place. We add the backend: product catalog, pricing rules, Stripe-native checkout, order management, and the admin tools to run all of it.
Your team gets a management interface built specifically for your operation — add products, update descriptions, manage pricing, view and fulfill orders. Your existing web presence is not touched. The commerce layer connects to it and extends what you can offer through it.
This is the right approach when your current site handles your marketing and brand presence well and what you are missing is a proper commerce engine behind it. If you like your site and just need to sell through it, we can deliver that without rebuilding from the ground up.
