Store development

An Upgates store you will not rebuild as you grow

We build a store that sells from day one and grows with you: custom design without switching off the Designer, a B2B zone with prices after login, more countries as satellites in the same admin, connected warehouse, invoicing and carriers. All data is yours and anyone else can work with the store, not just us.

Who it is for

  • We want a second country

    We sell in Slovakia and want to try Czechia or Hungary. On our current platform we would be setting up a new store with a new admin and fee.

  • Wholesale should order by itself

    We have B2B customers and each has a different price. We want them to order themselves, even out of hours, and see their invoices and history.

  • Stock and invoicing live in our ERP

    We do not want to retype them into the store. An order should go from cart to delivery without anyone touching it.

What does your store need?

Pick what you are solving. We show how we build it and send it as a brief into the form.

Send as a brief into the form

  • B2B prices after login

    Everyone sees products, prices only after login. Price lists by group, tiers by turnover, registrations approved by your sales rep.

  • More countries

    The next country is a satellite in the same admin: own domain, range, prices and e-mails in the customer's language, one stock.

  • Warehouse or ERP

    First we agree on the source of truth. Then we connect Pohoda, Money S4 or another system; when no add-on exists, we write a connector.

  • Carriers and dispatch

    Packeta, GLS, DPD, SPS, Slovak Post. Dispatch through Chameleon from one place, barcode checks at packing.

  • Comparison sites and marketplaces

    Google, Meta and Heureka feeds straight from Upgates, no Mergado. Orders from Allegro or Alza in the same admin.

  • Configurator or variants

    Products with variants, parameters and filters. Configurators Upgates does not have out of the box, built without switching off the Designer.

  • Custom design

    Inside the Designer, not outside it. The store looks like your company and platform updates go through without us.

  • Newsletter and automations

    Ecomail: welcome series, abandoned cart, reminders. Discounts to collect contacts, not as a permanent way to sell.

How we work

A satellite, not a new project

A language version is the same store in another language. A satellite is a separate domain with its own range, prices and transactional e-mails in the customer's language, but in the same admin with the same stock. When you want a second country, we add a satellite to the admin menu. Not a new project, not a new platform.

B2B the way wholesalers need it

  • Everyone sees products, prices only after login. Or products only after login too, your call
  • Your sales rep approves registrations, not a robot. Or creates the customer in the field and they just set a password: “the deal is closed in two minutes”
  • Price lists by customer group, individual prices for key accounts, volume discounts kept separate
  • Tiers by turnover with automatic promotion when a customer crosses the threshold
  • Customers see their invoices, back orders and history and filter the range themselves

Dispatch without touching anything

The order prints, the invoice issues, the status changes and the carrier collects without you lifting a finger. Chameleon handles dispatch for every carrier from one place and barcode checks at packing remove mix-ups. We use it on our own store.

Warehouse and ERP: the source of truth first

First we agree where the source of truth is: the ERP or the store. Then we connect Pohoda, Money S4 or another system. When no add-on exists we write our own connector and tell you in advance what runs automatically and what semi-automatically. Nobody syncs tens of thousands of products by hand.

Vendor lock-in bothers us too

We build the store so any other supplier can work with it. The data is yours and the Designer stays on, so platform updates go through without us.

What you get

Online store on Upgates

We build an online store that can grow without a rewrite — including a B2B zone and several brands or countries from one admin.

  • CORE package: everything the online store needs to sell from day one
  • Custom design without switching off the Designer module — the online store stays updatable
  • Products with variants, parameters and filters; configurators when the range needs them
  • B2B: prices after login, customer groups and price lists, registering customers from the field
  • Language versions and satellite online stores from one admin, OSS VAT

Warehouse, invoicing and logistics

An order goes from basket to delivery without a manual touch — warehouse, accounting and carriers connected via API.

  • ERP and warehouse: Pohoda, Money S4 and others; a custom connector where no plug-in exists
  • Dispatch via Chameleon: every carrier from one place, shipment statuses every two hours, barcode-checked picking
  • Pack4You fulfilment — we use it on our own online store
  • Carriers: Packeta, GLS, DPD, SPS, Slovak Post
  • Invoices directly in Upgates, export to accounting (ISDOC, Money, Pohoda)

Comparison sites and marketplaces

Feeds straight from Upgates, no Mergado — and Allegro or Alza orders in the same admin as the online store's.

  • Product feeds for Google, Meta and Heureka set on the products, not in yet another tool
  • Allegro, Alza, Mall, Glami, Favi; Amazon for Germany
  • Categories, units of measure, ID matching — so the feed is approved first time
  • Marketplace orders in one admin together with the online store
  • Google Merchant Center and ongoing management

How it works

  1. 011 wk

    Audit

    We go through the online store, data, warehouse and margins. For complex systems, a data analysis comes first — without it we would be guessing the price.

  2. 021–2 wk

    Proposal

    A quote with every item listed: the CORE package plus only the add-ons you actually need.

  3. 033–6 wk

    Build

    Online store, carriers, payments, warehouse and invoicing. Previews along the way, no surprise at the end.

  4. 041 wk

    Launch

    DNS switch, indexing check, measurement. We are on the phone for fourteen days.

  5. 05∞

    Growth

    Campaigns, marketplaces, retention and the profit report. This is where the investment starts coming back.

Case study

A florist that has grown every year since the migration.

We migrated the store from Shoptet to Upgates, wired same-day delivery into the process and have run its Google and Meta campaigns and newsletter ever since. A year after migration revenue grew 59%, average order value 46% and organic traffic 27%. It keeps growing — this year it is heading for €400,000 from the online store alone.

FAQ

What is a satellite and what is a language version?

A language version is the same store in another language. A satellite is a separate domain with its own range, prices and transactional e-mails in the customer's language, but in the same admin with the same stock. A second country is a satellite, not a new project.

Can a B2B customer see products without prices?

Yes. Everyone sees products, prices only after login. Or products only after login too, your call. Registrations can be approved by your sales rep, or the rep creates the customer in the field and they just set a password.

Why not switch off the Designer if I want a custom design?

Because you would lose platform updates and the reason you pay rent. We do custom design, including configurators Upgates does not have out of the box, inside the Designer. Technical debt does not grow and another supplier can take the store over.

Shoptet or Upgates?

Upgates includes all features and add-ons in every plan, handles multiple languages and satellite stores from one admin, has B2B price lists and a Designer for design without coding. Shoptet is simpler to start with and has a larger add-on ecosystem. For a growing store heading into more countries or B2B we recommend Upgates — a detailed comparison of prices and features is in our Shoptet vs Upgates article.

How long does a migration take?

Typically 20 to 30 working days from approving the quote to the switch. The old store keeps selling until the second DNS is switched, so there is no revenue gap. After launch we are on the phone for 14 days.

What are Upgates modules and how do I buy one?

Ready-made add-ons for Upgates stores that the platform lacks out of the box: side banners, bundle configurator, delivery date, sticky add-to-cart bar and more. One-off price with no monthly fees, implementation in hours, no need to switch off the Designer. You buy by card directly on the site, the invoice arrives by e-mail and we get back to you within one business day with an implementation date.

What does the first call look like?

Thirty minutes on Google Meet, you pick the time directly on the site. We go through what your store runs on, where stock and invoicing live, how orders flow and what your numbers show. At the end we tell you straight whether we can help and what we would start with. If we do not see potential in the project, we say so on the first call.
