Creating online shops

The most popular e-commerce solution.

Depending on the number of products sold, we use open source solutions or decide on the need to create dedicated solutions. If advanced product search is important, we implement additional search engines. At Mits, we have completed dozens of projects based on various shop engines: Wooommerce, Prestashop, Magento and Sylius.

Over the years, we have had the pleasure of creating online shops not only locally but also for many brands from Europe and other continents. We have presented the e-commerce solutions we have implemented in the form of a short summary according to their types.

Price comparison websites present product data obtained from multiple e-commerce sources in an organised manner. Users can filter results by price, popularity, reviews or shop location, allowing them to choose the most attractive offer.

A growing type of e-commerce application. 

This type of service brings together many sellers and allows you to make one-off purchases from each of them. Due to its nature, a marketplace offers a very wide range of products and allows customers to make purchases from multiple suppliers in one simple shopping basket. It also significantly simplifies the payment process for purchased products, leaving the issue of settlements with sellers to the marketplace owners.

A characteristic feature of marketplaces is that the single shopping basket used by the end user is usually divided according to product suppliers. This allows the marketplace administrator to manage orders from each supplier separately and eliminates the potential risk of waiting for a single product, which could block the shipment of the entire order.

Additionally, the way marketplaces make money is characteristic of them. Unlike a traditional online shop, a marketplace is based on sales commissions. Thanks to the ability to fully track orders flowing to suppliers, the e-commerce solution administrator has a complete overview of the events taking place on their website.

The implementation of marketplaces has also played a significant role in our portfolio. Our task was to prepare the design and implementation of an e-commerce application for a client from the automotive industry. Various integrations, non-standard methods of importing and settling accounts with contractors, and finally, automated conditions for defining prices for consumers – these are just some of the elements we had the pleasure of implementing.

Online wholesalers are internet platforms that enable entrepreneurs to purchase products in larger quantities, often at wholesale prices, for resale. They operate in a similar way to traditional wholesalers, but transactions and purchasing processes take place entirely online.

Website designs of this type are solutions that combine elements of websites and e-commerce applications. Projects of this type allow users to browse the full range of products available from a company, using search, filter and sort mechanisms. In addition, catalogues often contain specialist materials related to products, such as user manuals.

SaaS (software as a service) applications are becoming increasingly popular. That is why we have had many opportunities to create solutions offering access to digital products (services/materials) in such models. One of our recent projects of this type was QualUp dedicated business consulting application.

We begin each project with a detailed discussion about your business, target groups, and sales objectives. Based on this, we recommend the optimal technology and functionalities.

Stage outcomes:

• Detailed functional specification
• Technology selection (WooCommerce vs Sylius)
• Project schedule with milestones
• Transparent pricing with no hidden costs

For premium shops, we create individual graphic designs, while for standard shops, we select and personalise premium themes. At the same time, we plan the technical architecture and integrations.

Documents produced:

• Graphic design (Premium) or theme customisation (Standard)
• Map of categories and product structure
• Plan for integration with payment and logistics systems
• Technical specifications for developers

We build the shop in accordance with the approved design, testing each feature in the development environment. The customer can track progress and provide feedback on an ongoing basis.

Quality control:

• Functionality testing on various devices
• Performance and security audits
• Search engine optimisation
• Integration testing with external systems

After launching the shop, we conduct comprehensive training tailored to the technical level of users. We create video materials and documentation to facilitate everyday operation.

Post-implementation support:

• Free support period in accordance with the package
• Permanent access to training materials
• Assistance in optimising the sales process
• Performance monitoring and proactive suggestions for improvement
• Post-warranty support

There are several basic features that every online shop must have.

• adding products
• editing products
• discount codes (single and multiple use, as well as fixed amount and percentage)
• order management
• shopping cart, which, when properly configured, also serves as a product storage
• facility
• integration with online payment systems

The online shops we develop feature a large number of modules that are more or less visible to the end user. The main functionalities that enhance the e-commerce products we implement include:

• multi-currency support
• location and branch management
• product attribute settings
• shipping parameter and cost settings
• sales performance monitoring tools
• sales reports
• service monitoring and analytics system

Depending on your business needs, we can implement:

• integration with courier companies
• integration with inventory management systems
• integration with invoicing systems
• integration with online comparison engines
• integration with Facebook and other social media platforms
• integration with sales management tools on multiple platforms – from auction
• platforms and wholesalers to online shops

It is a good choice for small and medium-sized businesses that need a simple solution. Unfortunately, PrestaShop is moderately scalable – if your business expands its offering, it may prove insufficient. It has very strong community support and a lot of free and paid plugins.

An excellent solution for start-ups and small shops. If you already have a WordPress-based website and need to quickly launch a sales section, WooCommerce may be the right solution for you. It has a very large community support and many free and paid plugins.

A very good solution for large companies and corporations that need advanced features and scalability. However, implementing a store on Magento requires advanced technical knowledge for configuration. Magento offers the possibility of configuration with additional modules, but in most cases, expansion is done by writing your own solutions.

A solution for large companies and corporations that is just as good as Magento. Unlike Magento, it is much easier to maintain. However, it requires knowledge and familiarity with the Symfony framework and the PHP language. Magento offers the possibility of configuration with additional modules, but in most cases, expansion is done by writing your own solutions.

Over 12 years of operation, we have completed projects for over 200 companies, including global corporations and Polish industry leaders. Our portfolio includes shops for Hautera (dietary supplements), KHT Aria (hobby horse), and Tedee (smart locks), which have achieved spectacular sales growth after implementing our solutions.

Unlike subscription platforms, you become the full owner of the shop. No monthly fees, no functional limitations. We select technology tailored to specific business needs – from WooCommerce for standard shops to Sylius for advanced B2B systems.

We operate from Lublin, serving customers throughout Poland. We offer face-to-face meetings, know the local market and understand the specifics of Polish e-commerce. Our geographical proximity means quick responses to problems and the opportunity to build long-term business relationships.
