E-commerce — Girona · Costa Brava
Custom online stores
We build custom online stores that hold thousands of products without slowing down and that you run yourself, without paying a percentage on every sale. On WooCommerce when it fits, or with your own code when the way you sell doesn't fit a template.
Who is it for?
For shops, producers and brands on the Costa Brava and in Girona who want to sell beyond the physical store: from those starting with a small catalogue to those already selling who need a store that survives peak season, several languages and hundreds of products. We also migrate slow or badly built stores to a solid base.
Catalogue and product page
Variants, stock, categories, filters and product pages built to convert. We import your current catalogue from Excel or another store.
Secure payment gateway
Card (Redsys, Stripe), Bizum and PayPal. SSL certificate, the gateway's PCI compliance and a checkout in few steps.
Multiple languages and currencies
Spanish, Catalan, English and French with correct URLs and hreflang. Key for the Costa Brava's international customer.
Shipping and logistics
Rates by weight or zone, carrier integration, in-store pickup and automatic tracking notifications.
Product SEO
Product structured data, sitemap, metadata and performance: so Google shows your products with price and stock.
Training and maintenance
We teach you to add products and manage orders. Optional monthly maintenance with backups and updates.

Payment methods that work here: Bizum, card and PayPal
Customers abandon the cart when they can't find their way to pay. So we set up the gateway around how people pay here. Card runs through Redsys (your bank's virtual POS) or Stripe, depending on fees and needs. Bizum is almost a must for the local shopper: instant payment from the phone, no card numbers to type. PayPal reassures the international buyer and anyone reluctant to leave their card in a new store. We set up all three, test each with a real order before opening and explain what commission each gateway charges — which isn't ours: we take nothing from your sales.
Seasonal stores: getting the site ready for summer
On the Costa Brava, half a year's takings can land in three months. A store that runs fine in winter can fall over in August if no one prepared it. We size the hosting for the peak, not the average, and switch on caching so product pages load the same with ten visitors as with a thousand. Before the season we run a load test and review the checkout, because a slow site at the moment of paying is a lost sale. We also leave the catalogue ready for campaigns: season tags, stock per variant and prices you can change yourself without touching code. Reaching June with the store ready is decided in May, not on the first hot weekend.
Migrating your store without losing sales or SEO
Switching stores is scary for two reasons: losing your rankings and going days without selling. We avoid both. We import your catalogue from Excel or your current store, with variants, stock and photos, without retyping it by hand. We keep the URLs that already rank or, if they must change, add redirects so you don't lose the traffic Google already sends. We build the new store in parallel, test it with trial orders and only switch the domain when everything works. The cutover takes minutes and customers notice nothing. That way the new store launches with the SEO you already had, not from zero.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an online store cost?
More than a corporate site, because there's a catalogue, payments, shipping and testing. A simple store with few products starts at a range; one with hundreds of products, several languages and complex logistics costs more. After seeing your catalogue we give you a fixed quote.
WooCommerce, Shopify or custom?
We start from how you sell, not from the platform. WooCommerce gives you a store that's yours and that you can grow without paying a percentage just to exist. Shopify fits if you'd rather forget about the server in exchange for a fixed fee. And when your operation (per-customer pricing, subscriptions, stock across several locations, an ERP behind it) doesn't fit either, we build it custom. We recommend the option that fits your business, not the one with the best margin for us.
What commission do you take on each sale?
None. The only fees are the payment gateway's (typically a small per-transaction percentage from Stripe, Redsys or PayPal) and, with Shopify, its subscription. With WooCommerce or custom there's no platform commission.
Can I manage orders myself?
Yes. You get a dashboard to see orders, change their status, manage stock and download invoices. We train you so you don't depend on us day to day.
Will it hold up in high season?
It's sized for it. On the Costa Brava the summer peak is real: we choose hosting and caching accordingly and load-test the store before the season.
Shall we build your store?
Tell us what you sell and how, and you'll get a concrete proposal back.
