Shopify is a solid platform, but it's not free. The basic plan runs $39/month, transaction fees add 2-3% on top of Stripe's processing fees if you're not on Shopify Payments, and you're locked into their ecosystem for everything from checkout design to app integrations. For a small business in Broken Arrow or Tulsa selling under $30-50k/month online, those fees and constraints add up fast. ZEG builds custom e-commerce solutions that use Stripe directly, cutting out the platform layer and keeping more revenue in your pocket.
When you're on Shopify, migrating off is a painful process. Your product data, customer records, and checkout flow are all tied to their platform. With a custom ZEG e-commerce build, your store is standard web code hosted on infrastructure you control. If you ever want to move, extend, or significantly change the store, you're not constrained by what a platform allows.
Generic Shopify checkouts look like generic Shopify checkouts. Customers recognize them, and in some cases they raise questions about whether the store is a real business or a dropshipping operation. A fully custom checkout that matches your brand's visual identity builds more trust, especially for local Tulsa-area businesses where customers want to buy from someone they can identify with.
More than 60% of e-commerce traffic is mobile, and the gap is widening. ZEG builds every e-commerce store mobile-first, meaning the product browse, cart, and checkout experience is optimized for thumb navigation and small screens from the initial design, not retrofitted from a desktop layout. Fewer taps to checkout means more completed purchases.
E-commerce scope varies significantly based on product count, variant complexity, inventory management needs, and integration requirements. We start with a free discovery call to understand what you're selling, quote a fixed price, and build to spec. No open-ended retainers, no surprise hourly invoices.
