For Shopify brands that have outgrown themes, apps, and quick fixes.

Shopify Systems
Engineering.

We engineer the systems behind your next stage of growth: conversion, merchandising, and performance that off-the-shelf Shopify can't deliver.

Commerce systems for considered DTC, fashion, and lifestyle brands. Built by engineers who scaled financial products to millions of users.

Background: each line is a shopper session. The coral ones turn into orders.

Integrated with the tools your store already runs on

Most Shopify stores don't have a design problem. They have a systems problem.

The ceiling Illustrative curve, no real data
The Ceiling

You've installed the apps. You've redesigned the theme. You've A/B tested the hero, tightened the cart, run paid harder. Revenue still flattens.

The next stage of growth is an engineering decision. It lives in how products are ranked, how pages hold up under real traffic, how merchandising responds to buyer behavior, how the checkout adapts to your customer.

These are systems. They don't come pre-installed.

You've already tried
  • Installed the apps
  • Redesigned the theme
  • A/B tested the hero
  • Ran paid harder

Still flat? The ceiling is the engineering underneath.

Example store. Numbers are illustrative.

Capabilities

Four systems behind every brand we work with.

We engineer the systems that compound revenue. You own what we build. No app-store rent.

Conversion System

Landing · PDP · Cart · Checkout

Animated funnel: shoppers move from landing page to product page, cart, checkout and order, and some drop off at each step. With Capaxe systems switched on, more of them reach an order.

Conversion

Illustrative funnel

We treat conversion as a product with a roadmap. We trace where revenue leaks across landing, PDP, cart, and checkout, then rebuild those friction points with native Shopify primitives.

Merchandising System

Ranking · Search · Filtering · Discovery

Collection sort Manual
  1. White Tee 32% margin · 0.6/day #8
  2. Denim Jacket 41% margin · 1.1/day #5
  3. Leather Tote 58% margin · 2.4/day #1
  4. Cotton Cap 28% margin · 0.4/day #9
  5. Knit Sweater 46% margin · 1.9/day #3
  6. Woven Belt 37% margin · 0.8/day #7
  7. Brogue Boot 52% margin · 2.1/day #2
  8. Sunglasses 24% margin · 0.3/day #10
  9. Field Watch 44% margin · 1.5/day #4
  10. Grey Satchel 35% margin · 0.9/day #6

Animated example: a collection sorted by hand re-sorts by margin and sell-through, moving the three strongest products to the front.

Out-of-the-box collection sorting quietly kills AOV. We engineer ranking, filtering, and discovery logic that surfaces the right product to the right buyer across collections, search, and recommendations.

Performance System

Core Web Vitals · App-script tax · Sale-day stability

Network · mobile product page LCP 4.6 s 7 blocking scripts

Animated example: seven app scripts block a product page, so its largest image arrives at 4.6 seconds. With those scripts deferred and the image preloaded, it arrives at 1.4 seconds.

Speed is a revenue lever before it is a Lighthouse score. We rebuild Core Web Vitals from the theme up, cut the app-script tax, and hold the store stable through sale-day traffic.

Custom Engineering

Functions · Hydrogen · Integrations · Backends

Animated example: a Shopify Function for a bundle discount is written and deployed, and the cart applies 15% off two items.

When apps fall short, we go deeper. Shopify Functions, theme app extensions, Hydrogen storefronts, custom backends, ERP and OMS integrations. Built once, owned by you.

How We Work

A different approach for brands past the template stage.

Every relationship runs through these four steps. How far you go depends on the engagement you pick.

  1. 01

    Diagnose

    A structured review of your store that traces conversion, performance, and merchandising back to root cause.

  2. 02

    Prioritize

    We rank opportunities by revenue impact. You see the trade-offs behind every call we make.

  3. 03

    Engineer

    We build and ship, then measure what actually changed. No theme-shopping, no plugin stacking.

  4. 04

    Compound

    The best stores compound instead of getting rebuilt every year. We stay on as the engineering layer behind the brand.

Founder

Engineering depth you can verify.

Capaxe is led by engineers with over a decade of shipping production systems. That includes financial products at Paytm Money serving millions of users, and SaaS tools currently powering Shopify brands (RankFlo for SKU and SEO intelligence, Opskitty for web operations).

We bring the same discipline to commerce that we brought to scaling fintech. Everything instrumented, and accountable to a number. More about the team.

What a teardown hands you

Example findings
  • Critical

    Mobile product page LCP is 4.6 s

    Fix: Preload the hero image, defer three app scripts

  • High

    Collections are sorted by hand

    Fix: Rank by margin and sell-through

  • High

    Cart drawer hides the shipping cost

    Fix: Show the free-shipping threshold before checkout

  • Low

    Two review apps load on every page

    Fix: Keep one, load it below the fold

Who We're Built For

Built for considered Shopify operators.

We came to Shopify from production engineering rather than from design.

That shows up in what gets built: instrumented systems with tests, and a strong bias toward native Shopify primitives over stacked apps.

Fewer apps, more owned code

You own what we build. No app-store rent.

Built for brands that

  • Have moved past the template-and-plugin stage
  • Treat the store as core operating infrastructure
  • Care about the line between engineering and revenue
  • Want a long-term engineering partner

Not built for

  • Early-stage stores
  • One-off project work
  • Teams looking for a cheaper version of what they already have

For these, a theme partner or solo developer is usually a better fit. We'll tell you that in the first call.

Based in India, working across time zones

Frequently Asked Questions

Who do you typically work with?

Considered Shopify brands that have moved past the template-and-plugin stage. Usually direct-to-consumer brands where the store runs the business rather than advertising it, and where someone on the team already cares about the line between engineering and revenue.

How is this different from a typical Shopify agency?

We came to Shopify from production engineering rather than from design. That shows up in what gets built: instrumented systems with tests, and a strong bias toward native Shopify primitives over stacked apps. The discipline comes from years of shipping at scale, including in fintech.

Do you take on early-stage stores or one-off projects?

Generally, no. The brands we work with already have traction and have outgrown the systems they started with. Early-stage stores are usually better served by a theme partner or a dedicated solo developer.

How long does an engagement take?

Diagnostics typically run a few weeks. Build sprints are scoped to the system being engineered. Embedded partnerships are ongoing. We share a clear timeline before any work begins.

Do you publish pricing?

No, and we think that's a feature. No two engagements look the same, and fixed published pricing tends to push agencies toward template work rather than engineered work. We give you a clear investment range in the first conversation.

Where are you based and how do you work with international brands?

We're based in India and work with brands across multiple time zones. Our engagements are async-first with structured sync touchpoints, so the working relationship feels like an embedded internal team.

Do you work on Shopify Plus?

Yes. All four systems apply across Shopify and Shopify Plus, with deeper engineering on Plus where Functions, B2B, and headless make more sense.
