We build Shopify stores and custom, Laravel-based webshops for businesses, with online payments, automatic invoicing and shipping integration. FlowProject is an independent digital studio in Budapest, working since 2019: a core team of three and eight trusted partners take your shop from choosing a platform to the months after launch.
With a webshop, the first question isn't the design, it's the platform. We build both Shopify stores and custom Laravel shops, so we have no reason to push either one. We recommend whatever fits your products, your processes and the growth you're planning.
Rule of thumb: if your shop works like most webshops (cart, payment, parcel), Shopify is the faster and more predictable route. If something specific happens after the purchase, say access opens to a programme or the order flows on into your own system, a custom Laravel shop means fewer compromises in the long run. At that point the shop is really custom software development with a cart.
For us, SEO isn't an afterthought: the technical groundwork goes in while we build. What that means in 2026, when Google and ChatGPT both answer questions directly, is covered in our article on technical SEO, and whether your shop needs an llms.txt in this guide. If your launch needs campaigns and content too, our marketing team takes it from there.
A webshop isn't finished at launch; it's finished when real customers are using it. So our process doesn't stop at go-live, it ends with measurement.
You get one day-to-day contact who stays with you from the first email. When you ask something, a real person answers, not a ticketing system.
A workshop, your existing material and, if you already have a shop, a technical SEO + AI audit. At the end, everyone has the same picture in mind.
Platform, sitemap, checkout flow, integrations. On paper first: what's wrong on paper will be wrong in Figma too.
Two-week sprints, a weekly demo, a weekly decision. You can see where the shop stands at all times.
Test payments, test invoices and test shipments in a staging environment, redirects from your old URLs, then a gradual go-live.
For three months after launch we watch how the shop is actually used and adjust it. Further development is agreed separately after that.
For Géza Goócz's G8 Alakváltók lifestyle programme (client: BIOHACK Kft.), the webshop sells programmes and club membership, with coupons and price tiers. Payments run through SimplePay, Billingo issues the invoice automatically, and physical products ship with GLS in Hungary and abroad.
It's a textbook case for a custom shop: a purchase doesn't just trigger a parcel, it automatically gives the customer access to the right programme. That's why the shop runs in the same Laravel system as the participant app and the website, with shared accounts and a shared admin. The team sets up new cohorts and products in the admin themselves, without a developer.
Planning a webshop, or ready to replace the one you have? Tell us in a few sentences what you sell and how. After a free consultation we'll send you a tailored proposal.
$ let's_talk() →We don't publish prices, because the cost of a webshop depends on the platform, the product range and the integrations. After a free consultation we send a tailored proposal written for your shop.
If you sell classic products and want to launch quickly, usually Shopify. If your product is unusual (a programme, a membership, access), you need your own pricing logic, or the shop has to connect tightly to your other systems, a custom Laravel shop. We'll tell you which fits your case in the consultation.
We build new webshops on Shopify or as custom Laravel shops. If your current shop runs on WooCommerce, we'll look at it in the free audit and tell you whether it's worth staying or whether switching would get you more.
SimplePay or Stripe for online payments, Billingo or Számlázz.hu for invoicing. The invoice is created automatically after a successful payment and sent to the customer.
It depends on the scope: a Shopify store usually goes live sooner than a custom system. We work in two-week sprints with a weekly demo, so you always know where things stand. The exact schedule is part of the proposal.
For three months after launch we watch how the shop is actually used and adjust it. Further development and maintenance are agreed separately after that. Your contact person stays the same throughout.
