E-commerce Development in the United Kingdom
We build online shops for the British market. Stripe UK, Klarna, Royal Mail Click & Drop, DPD UK, Consumer Rights Act 2015 — a complete e-commerce infrastructure for the UK.
The United Kingdom is the third-largest e-commerce market in the world, behind only the US and China. British online shoppers are demanding: Amazon UK, ASOS, and John Lewis have set high standards. A 30-day right of return under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, transparent VAT pricing, and fast delivery expectations are non-negotiable — without them, conversion rates drop.
We build online shops for the British market: Stripe for GBP payments, Klarna UK for "buy now, pay later", Royal Mail Click & Drop for automatic label generation, and DPD UK for tracked delivery. Correct British English interface, VAT included in prices, and a returns policy that complies with the Consumer Rights Act.
