Discuss Backend Project8+ Experience Years
Builds to Magento's event-observer and plugin architecture, not around it. Handles custom module development, complex attribute structures, and backend issues that workarounds cannot fix. Stores stay upgradeable, and extensions stay conflict-free.
10+ Experience Years
For Adobe Commerce Cloud and On-Premises stores requiring enterprise-level backend work. Covers multi-store configuration, B2B module customisation, GraphQL API development, and performance tuning at a scale Magento Open Source does not demand.
5+ Experience Years
Builds the custom logic Shopify does not support out of the box. Storefront API, Admin API, Shopify Functions, and webhooks are used to build pricing rules, fulfilment workflows, and backend automations that sit cleanly within Shopify's architecture.
7+ Experience Years
Connects eCommerce platforms to ERP, CRM, WMS, and PIM systems. Every integration is designed with proper error handling from the start so failures surface visibly rather than silently corrupting order data or stock levels in the background.
6+ Experience Years
Deep PHP across object-oriented design, Composer, REST and GraphQL APIs, database query optimisation, and caching. Works across Magento, custom PHP applications, and hybrid architectures where store logic falls outside what any single platform provides.
12+ Experience Years
Reviews your current backend, identifies structural problems, and designs an architecture that supports growth without accumulating technical debt. Defines the build approach, then leads the development team to deliver it. Right for enterprise projects that need planning before code.
SERVICES INCLUDED
Purpose-built Magento and Shopify backend logic written to platform standards. No copy-paste extensions. Nothing that breaks on the next update.
Tested connections to SAP, Sage, Microsoft Dynamics, Salesforce, and custom tools. Built with error handling from the start, not added as an afterthought.
PCI-compliant connections for PayPal, Stripe, Mollie, Klarna, and custom gateway configurations. Tested against your checkout flow before going live.
REST and GraphQL APIs built to your spec and documented properly, and used for headless builds, mobile apps, and third-party system connections.
Database query analysis, caching strategy, and bottleneck diagnosis for stores slowing under real traffic. Fixed at the source, not masked with a CDN layer.
Backend hardening, security patches, PCI compliance support, and audits for stores that process payment data and cannot afford an unpatched codebase.
There are plenty of backend developers available. What is harder to find is a backend developer who knows eCommerce architecture at the platform level and works inside a team with QA, senior oversight, and post-launch accountability built in.
Our Magento developers follow Adobe's event-observer pattern and service contract layer. Your extensions stay conflict-free, your store stays upgradeable, and problems do not pile up with every platform release.
Our founder holds Magento Master status, awarded by Adobe to fewer than 60 developers globally. That standard sits behind every backend project we take on and shapes how our developers approach architecture, code quality, and platform best practices.
The developer on your project is part of our permanent team. Not a contractor sourced for the job. You get consistent expertise with full team support QA, senior oversight, and continuity beyond the initial build.
If you are a digital agency bringing us in as a backend resource, we operate fully under your brand. No KiwiCommerce references in code, commits, documentation, or any deliverables. Your clients see your quality standard. We write the backend.
We agree on what is being built, the delivery stages, and the cost before development begins. Milestones are in writing. Changes outside the agreed scope are flagged before they affect the budget or the timeline.
We currently maintain 100+ live stores on retainer. Backend work does not stop at launch platform updates, integrations need monitoring, and new business requirements create new backend tasks. Continuity is available from the team that built it.
