Custom e-commerce
Own the build
EVAVO React Shopfront is a custom e-commerce build for teams that want full ownership and more control. Instead of paying ongoing platform subscriptions, you get a modern React and Next.js storefront with Stripe checkout, strong SEO foundations, and a maintainable setup that can grow with the business.
Who this is for
This makes sense when Shopify feels restrictive, when you want to own the codebase, or when the experience you need goes beyond what a theme-led platform handles cleanly.

Common questions
Is this a Shopify replacement+
It can be. If you want full ownership and fewer platform constraints, a custom shopfront is a strong alternative.
Do I still pay transaction fees+
Yes. Any store has payment processing fees. With a custom shopfront that usually means standard Stripe fees.
Do you include an admin panel+
We include a practical admin workflow for products and content. The exact shape depends on the catalogue and scope.
Can you handle SEO and local SEO for Australia+
Yes. We build with SEO fundamentals in place and can help shape local SEO foundations where relevant.
Is this overkill for a small store+
Sometimes. If Shopify is the smarter fit, we will say so.
