E-commerce development
We design, build and integrate online stores - Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom Laravel - for businesses across Belfast, Northern Ireland, and the UK.
Online stores built by software engineers, not just designers
.
Most online stores are built storefront-first - a good-looking theme that is then left to fend for itself. Orders get re-keyed into your accounts, stock counts drift, and trade customers cannot get the pricing they are owed. The store looks fine; the business behind it does the work twice.
Two Clouds is a Belfast software company. We design and build online stores on Shopify, WooCommerce, and custom Laravel - and because we are engineers first, we connect them properly to your stock, accounts, payments, and back office. The result is a store that sells well and runs itself.
Run an e-commerce business that needs custom back-office software rather than a new store? See our software for e-commerce businesses.
Selling to trade as well as retail?
Off-the-shelf themes rarely handle account pricing, credit terms, and trade-only ordering. We build B2C and B2B into one store.
Store disconnected from your back office?
If orders are re-keyed into your accounts and stock is updated by hand, we connect the store to the systems you already run.
Outgrowing an off-the-shelf theme?
When a template can no longer do what you need, we add custom functionality or replatform onto something built around you.
Six ways we build and grow online stores.
Shopify Development
Custom Shopify themes, app integrations, and Shopify Plus builds - fast to launch, on-brand, and easy for your team to run day to day.
WooCommerce Development
WordPress and WooCommerce stores for businesses that want content and commerce in one place, with full control over hosting and code.
Custom & Headless Commerce
Bespoke Laravel storefronts and headless builds for complex catalogues, product configurators, and pricing rules off-the-shelf platforms cannot handle.
B2B & Trade Ordering Portals
Account-based pricing, credit terms, bulk and repeat ordering, and trade-only catalogues for wholesalers, distributors, and manufacturers.
Payments & Checkout
Stripe, Global Payments, and PayPal integration, conversion-optimised checkouts, and subscription or deposit billing where you need it.
Integrations & Replatforming
Connecting your store to stock, accounts, ERP, and shipping - or migrating off a dated platform without losing SEO or order history.
Why build your store with a software company?
A design agency can give you a beautiful storefront. But an online store is software - it has to handle pricing rules, stock, tax, payments, and a dozen integrations, and keep doing it reliably as you grow. That is engineering, not decoration.
We have spent over 15 years building business systems and integrations, and we bring that to e-commerce: stores that connect cleanly to Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, ERP and shipping; that handle B2B and B2C in one place; and that you own outright, with no proprietary theme lock-in. You also get honest platform advice, because we are not tied to selling one.
- Software engineers, not just designers - the store works as hard as it looks
- Deep integration with Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, ERP and stock systems
- B2B and trade ordering - account pricing, credit terms, bulk ordering
- You own the code - no lock-in to an agency's proprietary theme
- Built for performance, security, and Core Web Vitals
- Honest platform advice - Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom, whichever fits
- Belfast-based - face-to-face when it matters, same working hours
- Ongoing support and growth after launch, not a hand-off and goodbye

Frequently asked
Do you build Shopify stores?
Yes. We build custom Shopify themes, integrate Shopify apps, and deliver Shopify and Shopify Plus stores. We also connect Shopify to your accounts, stock, and shipping so orders do not have to be re-keyed.
Shopify, WooCommerce, or a custom store - which is right for me?
It depends on your products, how you sell, and how much custom logic you need. Shopify is fast to launch and easy to run; WooCommerce suits content-led WordPress sites; a custom Laravel build is best for complex catalogues, configurators, or B2B rules. We give honest advice based on fit, not commission.
Can you connect my online store to my accounts and stock system?
Yes - this is our core strength. We integrate stores with Sage, Xero, QuickBooks, ERP systems, and shipping platforms so orders, stock, pricing, and customers stay in sync automatically, with no manual re-keying.
Do you build B2B or trade ordering websites?
Yes. We build trade ordering portals with account-based pricing, credit terms, bulk and repeat ordering, and trade-only catalogues - and we can run B2B and B2C from the same store.
Can you redesign or replatform my existing store?
Yes. We migrate stores off dated or limiting platforms and redesign existing stores, carefully preserving your SEO, URLs, and order history through the move.
How much does an e-commerce website cost?
It depends on the platform, design, and how much custom functionality and integration you need. A focused Shopify build starts lower than a bespoke B2B platform. We provide a clear, fixed-price quote after an initial discovery conversation - no surprises.
