Tech and recruitment for e-commerce

We are technical Shopify partners - obsessed with storefronts that sell out and convert users to recurring subscriptions. We also worked on an open-source Shopify alternative for several years, so we know the ins and outs of this industry.

One of our clients even appeared on the BBC's Dragons Den.

Why E-commerce Companies Choose Metamindz

🛒

Shopify, Saleor, Solidus, etc.

We are Shopify partners, and have built plenty of headless and Liquid-based e-commerce stores.
In addition, after working with Solidus (OSS), we are not afraid of any e-comm framework, be it WooCommerce, Magento, or Saleor.
💰

Stores That People Queue For

We build stores that people will actually spend time queueing for (online). We have successfully implemented a weekly-drop model before, where people had to wait for exclusive weekly stock updates that sold out in minutes.
📈

Peak Traffic Handling

Black Friday, Cyber Monday, Christmas, and other festive periods can crash unprepared stores. We build infrastructure that handles traffic spikes, has proper caching in place, and continues to perform well even when the traffic is at its peak.
🔐

Payment & Security

E-commerce requires secure payment processing and PCI compliance. Our suggestion is to not reinvent the wheel, and to use a trusted gateway like Stripe, Polar, or PayPal. We can advise you on doing so, or help you implement it correctly in your bespoke storefront.
💸

Campaign Specific Landing Pages

We can build a campaign specific engine / workflow for you, so that your landing pages are highly customised and optimised for any users that land on them. This way, you have the highest chance of ROI on your paid clicks.
🤓

CTO-driven everything

Looking to recruit in-house talent? Or to outsource your build? Everything we do is driven by a CTO with the relevant e-comm experience. This means we can deliver high-quality results across all aspects of our engagement.

How We Help E-commerce Companies

We understand e-commerce from the ground up. We know how to build platforms that can handle peak traffic, how to optimise for better conversion rates, how to handle inventory and order management, and how to build integrations with payment gateways, shipping providers, and marketing tools. We know what makes a good e-commerce platform, and we know how to build and scale one.

Transcript

Hi, I'm Natalia Pazzaglia, and I'm the founder of Legacy Compass. Um, I just wanted to spend just a few seconds to say how helpful Lev and Metamindz were, to us. Lev helped me in different stages of the journey, from very early stage to getting to an MVP, and now thinking about the product strategy. I found it extremely pragmatic in the way in which he guided me into the product building, merging strategy with tech development, which I think specifically for non-tech founders like me is something extremely valuable. Moreover, I really appreciated that Lev and Metamindz have a very transparent process in which they tell you all the single steps and milestones that are agreed upon, so you don't risk to actually having a budget that is then completely forget with different expenses that you hadn't agreed before, which might be a big problem for, you know, especially like early-stage founders, which have a very limited budget for tech. So yeah, thank you so much Metamindz and Lev, and I wish that we can continue working together in the future.

Frequently Asked Questions

Our CTOs have built scalable and best-performing e-commerce products before. We understand the unique challenges of online retail, from handling (sometimes unexpected) peak traffic, to optimising UX based on user psychology. Everything we do is led by a CTO who gets e-commerce, not just an account manager. We also have a team of designers and design partners that specialise in e-comm optimised UX and design work.

We work with all major e-commerce platforms including Shopify, Saleor, Solidus, WooCommerce, Magento, and custom solutions. We help you choose the right platform based on your needs (honestly, nowadays, Shopify is usually your best option), or build custom solutions when off-the-shelf platforms don't meet your requirements.

Yes, we help migrate between e-commerce platforms, while ensuring data integrity and maintaining SEO rankings. We plan migrations carefully, test thoroughly, and execute with minimal disruption to your customers and to your business.

We can help you hire the best in-house talent for your e-commerce business. We are happy to lead the headhunting process, from the initial job description, through the interview process, to the final onboarding and training. We can also help you with the deep technical assessments, including live-coding exercises, whiteboard exercises, and soft-skills tests.

Yes, we sponsor the annual Nourish Awards ceremony, and have been doing so for the past few years. We offer unique benefits to all Nourish Awards participants, including 2 free sessions with our CTOs. We would LOVE to consider sponsoring other e-commerce communities, events, and programmes - so please get in touch if you are running one.

So did we and our CTOs. So did our founder. This is why Metamindz exists - it is a tech agency built by a CTO, who had a bad experience with agencies, and decided to build one that would make a technical founder happy. The way it should be done.
