eCommerce App Development Company in Melbourne

Next Olive is a ecommerce app development company working with businesses in Melbourne and Victoria since 2011. You get senior engineers on eCommerce platforms, a project manager who overlaps your working day, AUD or USD invoicing — and typically 40–60% lower cost than a local agency for the same senior team. Melbourne's strengths are health and medical research (Parkville precinct), education technology, retail and logistics headquarters, and a deep startup scene around Cremorne. Buyers here run rigorous vendor due diligence and value a partner that can join procurement calls in their afternoon.

• Headless commerce on Shopify, Magento or custom stacks

Why Australian businesses choose an offshore partner for ecommerce app development

Local senior developers in Melbourne are scarce and expensive, and freelancers rarely scale. A dedicated Next Olive squad gives you a full team — engineers, designer, QA and PM — at a monthly cost close to one local senior hire, with a 4.5-hour offset — daily stand-ups at 1 pm AEST land at 8:30 am in India.

You keep control: weekly demos on a staging build, a shared backlog you re-prioritise, and source code in your own repositories from the first sprint.

How we run ecommerce app development projects for Melbourne

Free consultation → short paid discovery (workshops, prototype, technical plan, fixed-price proposal) → two-week sprints with demos → launch and hand-over → optional support retainer or dedicated team. Change requests are agreed in writing before work starts, so the budget you approve is the budget you pay.

Our delivery process

1. Discovery: We map goals, users, integrations, and success metrics in a focused workshop.
2. Architecture: Solution design, milestone plan, and transparent estimate with clear assumptions.
3. Design: UX flows and prototypes validate the experience before full build.
4. Agile delivery: Two-week sprints with staging demos and visible backlog progress.
5. QA & launch: Testing, UAT, production deployment, documentation, and optional SLA support.
