Working in e-commerce

Once an online business reaches a certain volume, platform fees and platform constraints start shaping commercial decisions rather than supporting them. The question becomes whether owning the system costs less than renting it. We help answer that honestly, including when the answer is to stay where you are.

We hold no accreditation in this sector and do not claim any. Where an engagement touches a regulated activity, the obligations that apply are defined by your own legal and compliance advisers; our part is to build a system that can evidence what they require.

02Recurring problems

Problems we see in this sector

None of these is unusual, and none of them is a failing. They are what the work in this sector tends to look like before anyone touches it.

  • Transaction fees and platform subscriptions growing faster than margin
  • Checkout abandonment concentrated at a step nobody has instrumented
  • Subscription and one-off purchases needing different fulfilment paths
  • Tax obligations changing as you sell into new territories
  • Marketing tooling that requires customer data to leave your control

Tell us how your e-commerce organisation actually works

Sector familiarity gets us through the vocabulary. The part that decides the shape of the work is how your organisation does the thing it does — which is the part we would rather hear from you than assume.

We read every enquiry ourselves. If we are not the right fit, we will say so and tell you what to look for instead.
