Your custom blueprint

Sell physical products online — Complex (hundreds of things, custom pricing, accounts) build

A professional prescription for your New Zealand website — based on your goals, complexity, and timeline.

Based on your answers

  • What is the core purpose of your site? Sell physical products online
  • How complex is your product or service? Complex (hundreds of things, custom pricing, accounts)
  • What is your content readiness? I have photos but need copywriting
  • What is your timeline? ASAP (Rush)

Recommended tech stack

Based on your needs, your blueprint recommends Custom CodeIgniter 4 or WooCommerce (headless) paired with Windcave or Stripe for NZ payments, ERP or Xero integration for stock.

We advise against Off-the-shelf Shopify themes alone for this specific build because Complex catalogues, custom pricing rules, and member accounts need a tailored backend — Shopify alone will fight you at scale.

  • Windcave or Stripe for NZ payments
  • ERP or Xero integration for stock

Reality-check timeline

Typical build time: 11–18 weeks

A build like this typically takes 11–18 weeks from signed brief to launch, including design, development, content integration, and testing.

  • You selected ASAP. Hitting a 9-week launch means prioritising core features only — advanced integrations may move to phase two.

NZ-specific recommendations

  • Use Windcave or Poli Pay for NZ dollar payments — both support local cards and integrate with major platforms.
  • Serve assets through Cloudflare with Australasian edge nodes so Auckland, Wellington, and Christchurch visitors get sub-second load times.
  • Ensure Privacy Act 2020 compliance: clear privacy policy, cookie consent, and NZ-based hosting or documented data residency.

Photos ready, copy needed

Strong copy converts 2–3× better than placeholder text. We recommend professional copywriting aligned to your NZ audience and search intent.
