More Than Just a "Buy" Button
A pretty storefront is useless if the backend is broken.

Off-the-shelf themes are fine for hobbyists. But for growing businesses, you need engineering rigor. We focus on the invisible friction points that kill conversions:

  • Speed: optimizing load times to pass Core Web Vitals.

  • Connectivity: ensuring inventory syncs with your warehouse in real-time.

  • Resilience: preventing crashes during high-traffic product drops.

Commerce Solutions
Platform-agnostic engineering for every business model.

  1. Platform Development & Customization

We are experts in extending major platforms beyond their default limits. We write the custom code that standard apps can’t handle.

  • Shopify & Shopify Plus: Custom theme development, liquid scripting, and checkout extensibility.

  • WooCommerce: High-performance architecture for WordPress-based stores.

  • BigCommerce & Magento: Enterprise migration and optimization.

  1. Data Warehousing & Architecture

Want total design freedom? We decouple your frontend from your backend. Using Headless architecture, we deliver lightning-fast shopping experiences via React or Vue.js, while your data lives securely in the background.

  • Tech Stack: Shopify Hydrogen Next.js Nuxt Umbraco

  1. Complex Integrations (ERP & CRM)

Your store shouldn’t be an island. We build the “pipes” that connect your cart to your business.

  • Inventory Sync: Real-time connection to ERPs like NetSuite, SAP, or Microsoft Dynamics.

  • Ticketing Integration: Selling merchandise alongside event tickets? We bridge the gap between Shopify and systems like Broadway Inbound or AudienceView.

  1. Conversion Rate Optimization (CRO)

We use data, not gut feelings. We implement rigorous A/B testing and performance audits to shave milliseconds off load times and reduce cart abandonment

Who We Help

  • Live Events & Merch: Unified shopping carts for tickets and t-shirts.
  • B2B Wholesale: Custom pricing tiers, bulk ordering, and “Net 30” checkout flows.
  • Direct-to-Consumer (DTC): High-velocity launches and subscription modeling.

The LockData Build Process
Agile. Transparent. Revenue-Focused.

1. Architecture Audit:

We review your current stack. Is your database slowing down checkout? Is your payment gateway losing orders?

2. Platform Selection:

We recommend the right tool. We won't push you to Shopify if WooCommerce is better for your specific data needs.

3. Development & Sync:

We build the store and the integrations simultaneously, ensuring data flows correctly from Day 1.

4. Load Testing:

We simulate peak traffic to ensure your store stays up when you send that marketing email.

5. Ongoing Maintenance & Optimization

During the support phase we will monitor and maintain the solution ensuring all things are running smoothly, optimized and performing perfectly.

Case Studies

eCommerce Engineering: What's Actually Possible

Not sure what “custom eCommerce” really means, or whether you need it? Here’s a plain-English look at what we build, and when it’s worth it.

A store that stays up when traffic spikes

The worst time for your store to crash is the moment everyone shows up, a product drop, a Black Friday sale, or a hot show’s merch launch. We build eCommerce backends engineered for those spikes, with performance tuning, caching, and load testing, so your store stays fast and online exactly when the orders are coming in.

A storefront that loads fast and converts

A slow or clunky store quietly loses sales. We build fast, clean shopping experiences (including headless setups on Shopify Hydrogen, Next.js, or Nuxt) that pass Core Web Vitals and guide shoppers to checkout with less friction, so more of your visitors actually buy.

A store connected to the rest of your business

Your store shouldn’t be an island. We build the connections between your storefront and your warehouse, ERP, and CRM (NetSuite, SAP, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce), so inventory, orders, and customer data stay in sync automatically. No spreadsheets, no double entry, no overselling.

Selling merch alongside tickets

For venues and live events, merchandise and tickets often live in separate systems, a frustrating experience for fans and staff. We bridge that gap, connecting eCommerce platforms like Shopify to ticketing systems like Broadway Inbound and AudienceView, so fans can buy a shirt and a seat in one place.

Extending your platform past its limits

Off-the-shelf themes and apps only go so far. When Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Magento can’t do what you need out of the box, we write the custom code that makes it work, custom checkouts, pricing logic, B2B ordering, and subscriptions.

Re-platforming without losing sales or SEO

Moving from one platform to another (say, Magento to Shopify) is where a lot of stores lose product data or search rankings. We handle the migration carefully, transferring products, customer history, and SEO redirects intact, so you move forward without losing traffic or revenue.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which eCommerce platform is right for us?
It depends on your needs. Shopify and Shopify Plus are great for most retailers; WooCommerce suits WordPress-based stores; BigCommerce and Magento fit larger, complex catalogs. We’re platform-agnostic, so we recommend the right tool for your business, not a sales quota.

Can you connect our online store to our ticketing system?
Yes. For venues and live events, we bridge eCommerce platforms like Shopify with ticketing systems like Broadway Inbound and AudienceView, so fans can buy merchandise and tickets in one unified experience.

Can you migrate us from Magento to Shopify?
Yes. Re-platforming is a core service. We handle the complex migration of product data, customer history, and SEO redirects so you don’t lose traffic during the move.

Do you work with headless Shopify?
Absolutely. We specialize in Shopify Hydrogen and custom storefronts, giving you the stability of Shopify’s checkout with the speed of a custom frontend.

Can you build a B2B or wholesale store?
Yes. We build B2B commerce with custom pricing tiers, bulk ordering, quote requests, and net-terms checkout flows, so your wholesale buyers get an experience built for how they actually order.

Can you integrate my store with my warehouse software?
Yes. We build custom API connectors for 3PL providers and warehouse management systems (WMS) to automate shipping labels and inventory counts.

Can you integrate our store with our CRM?
Yes. We connect your store to CRMs like Salesforce, HubSpot, and Microsoft Dynamics, so customer and order data flows into your CRM automatically for marketing, service, and reporting.

My site crashes during product drops. Can you fix it?
This is usually an infrastructure or code efficiency issue. We perform performance audits to identify the bottleneck, whether it’s a slow database query or an unoptimized app, and fix it.
