Online ordering and booking

We build the part of your business that takes orders, bookings and payments online, and the admin panel your staff use to run it. We use Shopify when your business fits a standard shopping cart, and build a custom system when it does not.

A 30-minute call, then a written scope and a fixed price. Nothing is billed until you agree to it.

The code
Yours, on final payment

The software behind the order and book buttons: the pages your customers use, the payment step, and the screens your staff use to manage what comes in.

  • Online ordering

    Ordering from your own site, with pickup and delivery windows and a menu you update yourself. The fees are lower than the delivery apps charge, and the customer relationship stays with you.

  • Booking and scheduling

    Appointments and jobs booked online, following the availability rules your business uses, with intake questions and payment at the time of booking.

  • Quote requests

    Multi-step quote forms and online estimates for trades and service businesses, with deposits collected and every job tracked on one list.

  • Storefronts

    Shopify stores for businesses that ship physical products: a custom theme, product and collection setup, apps and sales channels, and moving your old store across.

  • Subscriptions

    Weekly or monthly plans that renew automatically, with skipped days and add-ons. TruBites, the example below, works this way.

  • Payments

    Stripe, Square or Interac, chosen for your fees and your bank, including deposits and refunds.

  • Admin panel

    Orders, bookings, prices, menus and stock, managed by you and your staff without calling us.

There is more detail for restaurants, clinics, and trades and home services on their own pages.

We choose the platform with you on the first call.

It is settled before any code is written, and it comes down to how much of your business fits a standard shopping cart.

Shopify

Physical products sold through a standard cart

For a product store, Shopify is usually faster to build and cheaper to run. We build on it and skip the custom work you do not need.

A custom build

Booking, scheduling, quotes or ordering rules of your own

Shopify cannot express rules like these without workarounds, and over time the workarounds cost more than building the system to fit. You own the code once the final invoice is paid.

For booking alone, off-the-shelf tools such as Calendly, Square and Jane cover most small businesses for a monthly fee. If one of them does what you need, we will say so on the first call.

Which bracket applies depends on how much the system has to do. After the first call you get a fixed price in writing.

Razorpay, UPI and Ola Maps are the Indian versions of parts every ordering system needs. For a business in Canada, payments run through Stripe, Square or Interac instead.

Which payment processors do you work with?

Stripe, Square and Interac. We choose based on your fees, your bank and how your customers pay. Deposits, full payments and refunds are each matched to a real order, so your books agree with your admin panel. If you already have a merchant account, we usually connect to that one.

Will stock stay in sync with what I actually have?

Yes. Stock is tracked in one place and shown on the storefront as it changes, so you do not sell products you have already shipped. On a custom build we sync against whatever you treat as the true count: a point-of-sale system, a supplier feed or the admin panel itself. On Shopify we set up inventory tracking and locations so the numbers stay accurate.

Can my staff run the admin panel without calling you?

Yes, that is what it is for. We build it for the owner and front-desk staff: editing the menu, changing prices, managing orders and adjusting availability, all without touching code. You get a short written guide, and each staff login only shows what that person's job requires.

How long does an ordering or booking build take?

A focused Shopify storefront typically takes a few weeks. A custom ordering or booking system takes longer, because the logic is specific to your business. After the first call you get a written scope and a fixed price. Every Friday the work in progress goes up on a private link so you can see it come together, and you own the code once the final invoice is paid.
