Stop Building Shops. Start Building Commerce Systems.

The full commerce stack. End to end.

Most agencies start at the storefront. Gradion works across the entire stack - from the platform infrastructure and payment layer underneath, to the shop and the headless frontend on top.

That means platform engineering inside the products that power European commerce. Payment gateway architecture and merchant integration frameworks. Composable storefronts built on headless principles with search, PIM, and payment layers connected and maintained. Agency partnerships where Gradion's engineers run inside the delivery team. And standalone commerce builds - new Shopware or Spryker stores, B2B portals with complex pricing and approval logic, legacy migrations, international rollouts - scoped and delivered as fixed projects.

Whatever layer your challenge sits at, we've operated there in production.

We build your shop too

Platform engineering, PSP integration, headless architecture, agency partnerships - these are where most of Gradion's commerce practice operates. But the depth of that experience translates directly into the quality of execution for any commerce build, at any scale. If you need a new Shopware or Spryker store, a migration from a legacy platform, a headless frontend decoupled from your commerce engine, or a full-stack B2B portal with complex pricing and approval logic -- we scope and deliver those engagements with the same teams that run production for the platforms themselves.

Commerce Without Structural Weak Points

At scale, commerce failures rarely start in the UI. They begin in infrastructure, integration, or payment architecture.

We engineer the layers that determine whether a commerce platform can handle growth:

• Payment service provider (PSP) integration and routing logic
• Order management and ERP connectivity
• PIM integration and product data consistency
• Search and performance optimization under high traffic
• Multi-market and multi-currency architecture
• Governance and release management across environments

The objective is simple: remove fragility before it becomes visible to customers.

Built for Scale, Not Just Launch

Launching a store is an event. Operating one at scale is a discipline.

Our commerce engineering model supports:

• International rollouts with structured localization
• B2B logic including pricing tiers, approval flows, and contract terms
• Migration from legacy monoliths to composable architectures
• Continuous optimization under live GMV pressure

Whether embedded inside an agency-led delivery model or running the build directly, Gradion operates with the mindset of a production owner - not a feature vendor.

Commerce is infrastructure. We build it accordingly.

Shopware is used by hundreds of thousands of merchants across Europe. Its AI Co-Pilot -- the capability that allows merchants to automate workflows, generate product descriptions, and run intelligent search without writing code -- was built with a 21-engineer Gradion team embedded inside Shopware's product organisation. The Flow Builder, AI-powered product content generation, and intelligent data quality tooling: these shipped as core platform features, not integrations layered on top. The outcome for Shopware was approximately 40% reduction in development COGS. That is an engineering partnership inside the product, running at platform depth.

Spryker's global commerce infrastructure includes a five-engineer Gradion backend team powering the platform used by a US supermarket chain operating more than 1,600 stores. The work is core platform engineering -- the kind that determines whether the platform scales, how it handles order volume, and whether it can support the complexity of enterprise pricing and catalog management at that scale.

commercetools is a $1.9B SaaS business processing more than $75B in annualised GMV across 500 million orders per year, and a Gartner Magic Quadrant leader for five consecutive years. Gradion has been part of the commercetools engineering team since before the Frontastic acquisition in late 2021 -- building the Studio admin interface, the API Hub backend-for-frontend layer, and the Next.js hosting infrastructure that powers composable storefronts for enterprise fashion retailers. Separately, a second Gradion team runs the Vietnam leg of commercetools' follow-the-sun DevOps operation, taking full APAC daytime operational ownership of a platform where enterprise SLA commitments leave no margin for downtime.
