Your online store does not have to. A template solves what everyone needs. Your store should solve what you need: your products, your customers and the way you sell. That is why we never start by picking a theme. We start by asking how your business makes money. Area Template store Custom store by Cstudios Design Looks like hundreds of others Unique, built around your brand Processes You adapt to the system The system adapts to you Integrations Only what the platform offers ERP, inventory, invoicing and shipping as needed Growth You hit limits quickly Scales with your business SEO and AI search Basic settings Structured data from day one ## Who a custom online store is for - Manufacturerswho want to sell direct and connect their store to production and inventory. - B2B and wholesale businesseswith customer-specific pricing, discount tiers and invoice-based ordering. - Brands expandinginto Slovakia, Hungary, Austria or the Czech Republic that need multiple languages and currencies. - Companies that have outgrownShoptet, WooCommerce or another template solution. - Non-standard products:configurators, subscriptions, bookings and custom product variants. - Startups and emerging brandsthat want to look premium from day one, not like yet another template store. ## Entry 8361 ### Custom is not just for the big players. Right now we are building an online store for a small startup that sells olive oil. A handful of products, a small team. Yet they did not want a template, because their olive oil is anything but ordinary. They got a design that tells their story and feels premium from the very first order. A small brand deserves to look like a big one. [Let us talk about yours](#contact) ✦ Three ways to e-commerce## Business first. Platform second. We do not sell one platform to everyone. After an analysis, we recommend the one that fits your business model, budget and plans. On each of them, we build a custom store, never a template. ### YUI Commerce Full freedom for complex processes. An e-commerce module for Craft CMS that powers our most complex online stores.

Your team only handles what truly needs a human. - Smart search and recommendationsCustomers find the right product even when they describe it in their own words.

A custom-designed store on Shopify starts from €4,500, and on Craft Commerce from €8,000. YUI Commerce solutions are priced individually based on your project's requirements. All prices exclude VAT. We will prepare an exact budget for you after a free consultation. How long does development take?Development takes 3 to 6 weeks on average on every platform. YUI Commerce is the fastest to deliver. The exact timeline depends on the scope of integrations and the readiness of your content. You receive a schedule right at the start. What is the difference between YUI Commerce and Craft Commerce?Both run on Craft CMS. Craft Commerce is the official, widely used module with a strong community. YUI Commerce is the module we use for projects with the most demanding processes: it has no predefined structure, runs without plugins and comes with ready-made integrations for the Slovak, Hungarian and Czech markets. When does Shopify make sense?When you want to start selling quickly, sell mainly to consumers and do not want to manage servers. Shopify is an excellent choice for D2C brands and international sales. For complex B2B processes or integrations with local systems, we usually recommend YUI Commerce. Do I pay transaction fees on orders?Not with YUI Commerce or Craft Commerce. With Shopify, fees depend on your plan and payment provider. We set out all costs upfront. Who owns the store and the data?Your customer, order and product data, your content and your design belong to you. The platforms (Craft CMS, Craft Commerce, YUI Commerce, Shopify) are used under license. The terms are clearly set out in the contract. Can you connect the store to my ERP, inventory or invoicing system?Yes. Payment, invoicing and shipping integrations are ready to go. Any other system, such as an ERP, CRM or warehouse system, we connect through a custom API integration. Can you migrate my current store without losing Google rankings?Yes. Whether you are on Shoptet, WooCommerce or another platform, we migrate your products, customers and orders and set up URL redirects so you do not lose traffic. What AI features can my store have?Most often an AI customer assistant, smart search, automated product descriptions and translations, and order automation. We also prepare structured data so that AI search engines such as ChatGPT recommend you. Can you build a store for multiple countries?Yes. We work in Slovakia, Hungary, Austria and the Czech Republic. We handle multiple languages and currencies, local payment methods and carriers, and EU VAT number validation. Will I be able to manage the store myself?Yes. We design the admin to be clear and easy to use, and we train you and your team before launch. What happens after launch?We take care of updates, security, monitoring and further development. If you wish, we can also take over marketing, SEO and campaigns. ## Tell us what you sell.
