Retail software is judged on a few numbers: conversion, average order value, repeat rate, and whether the site stayed up on sale day. Next Olive builds storefronts, marketplaces, apps and back-office systems that move those numbers — for D2C brands, marketplaces, grocery and quick-commerce, B2B distributors and retail chains across 25+ countries.

Platform or custom is decided by your business model, not by our preference: we build on Shopify and Magento where they fit, and go headless or fully custom when the model — marketplaces, subscriptions, B2B pricing, multi-country operations — is the product.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an eCommerce app cost?

A branded storefront app on an existing platform: $15,000–35,000. A custom marketplace or multi-vendor platform: $50,000–150,000+. Grocery/quick-commerce with rider apps: $60,000–120,000.

Should we build custom or use Shopify?

If your catalogue, checkout and integrations fit Shopify or Magento, use it — we customise and build the app. Marketplaces, subscriptions, B2B pricing or multi-country operations usually justify headless or custom.

Can you migrate us from an old platform?

Yes — catalogue, customers, orders and SEO (URL redirects, metadata) migrate with a parallel run before cutover.

Do you integrate with our ERP and warehouse?

SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Odoo, Zoho and custom systems via APIs or middleware; carriers and 3PLs for fulfilment.

How do you handle sale-day traffic?

Load testing to your target peak, CDN and caching, queued order processing and autoscaling infrastructure — verified before launch.

Can AI improve conversion?

Recommendations and semantic search typically lift AOV and conversion within weeks; support assistants grounded in order data reduce tickets. We measure with A/B tests.

How long does a marketplace take?

An MVP with vendor onboarding, catalogue, checkout and payouts ships in 14–20 weeks.

Do you provide maintenance after launch?

Yes — retainers cover monitoring, fixes, platform updates and a feature backlog.
