What the service includes
An online shop works with data that changes throughout the day. Hosting should reflect the catalogue, order volume and integrations in use. We help plan environments for WooCommerce or PrestaShop, considering performance, security and data recovery.
Performance across the purchase journey
Product pages, search, cart and payment have different requirements. Some content can be cached, while customer sessions and current orders need correct dynamic processing. We review cache settings and database load. Traffic from a campaign should be planned for in advance, rather than waiting for overload during sales.
Integrations and transactional email
A shop may connect to payment providers, couriers, inventory systems and other external services. We list these integrations and agree how to test them. We also check order confirmations. Credentials and API keys must be protected, and environment changes should account for the requirements of the operators involved.
Safer updates and migration
Changes require copies of files and databases and a plan to synchronise orders. Updates can be tested on a shop copy without enabling real payments. Restoring an older database needs care to avoid losing newer information. Backup scope, tests and responsibilities are agreed before the work starts.
Prepare for seasons and campaigns
Sales growth needs technical planning too. More visits create work for applications, databases and integrations, not just extra bandwidth. We help identify what to check before promotions. Around important dates, avoid unnecessary shop changes and prepare the people handling orders and issue reports. This makes the technical work better aligned with the business calendar.
Information about your shop
Identify the platform, version, products, approximate traffic and order patterns. List payments, delivery and inventory systems. Describe confirmations and catalogue changes. For migration, campaigns and backups also matter. We agree on business tests covering the purchase process, not only whether the home page opens in a browser.
