Case study · Web Agency SaaS A Website QA Platform Built To Scale
QualityHive came to us with an idea and a waiting list. We built them a Laravel platform that web design and development agencies now use to capture bugs straight from a client's website, assign them to developers and close them off, and handed it over as clean, documented code.
The Brief
Agencies were collecting website feedback the hard way: long email threads, shared spreadsheets and screenshots pasted into documents. Nothing was assignable, nothing was searchable, and the same bug was often reported three times by three different people.
QualityHive needed a platform an agency could roll out to a client in minutes, with a browser extension that captures a bug straight from the page, complete with a screenshot, the exact URL and the browser and screen it happened on, and an API their clients' project tools could talk to.
What We Built
One platform, three jobs: capture a bug on the page, triage it with the team, prove it fixed to the client.
Point-And-Click Capture
A browser extension pins a bug straight onto the client's site, grabbing a screenshot, the exact URL and the browser, OS and screen size, so nobody has to describe where it happened.
Assignment And Triage
Every bug routes to a developer with a status, a due date and a full comment thread. Duplicates are caught as they are raised, on a board the whole team shares.
Client-Ready Reporting
Open bugs, resolution rates and project progress export as clean, branded reports, which is what QualityHive's own agency customers renew on.
Roles And Permissions
Agency, developer and client each see their own view of a project, with per-project access managed by the account owner.
Billing And Trials
Per-seat subscriptions, trial expiry and proration wired through Stripe, so the team can price without touching code.
A Documented API
A REST API with webhooks and written docs, so their customers' project tools can pull bug data without our involvement.
How We Ran It
Four stages, weekly demos, and direct access to the developer writing the code. No account managers in between.
Two workshops with real agency feedback in hand, then a written spec and a fixed quote.
Every screen agreed in grayscale before a line of Laravel, so changes cost minutes rather than sprints.
Fortnightly releases to a staging site the team could hand to pilot customers and comment on directly.
Repository, environment notes and API docs transferred, with a retained day a month for support.
The Result
QualityHive launched to their pilot agencies in week 14 and replaced the email-and-spreadsheet routine entirely. Feedback that used to take an evening to chase down is now captured in a click from the page it happened on, and the API means larger customers can pull bug data into their own reporting without asking anyone.
We still support the platform on a retained day a month, and the code sits in their repository, not ours.
We built QualityHive because website QA was still being run through email threads and spreadsheets. Now an agency captures a bug in a click straight from the page, assigns it and closes it off, all in one place. It has become the tool teams open first thing in the morning, which is exactly what we set out to build.

Case study · Retail Ecommerce From Magento To Shopify Plus
We had supported Clintons Cards on Magento 2 for years. When the platform started to hold the business back, we migrated the whole storefront to Shopify Plus, kept every integration running through the switch, and lifted both conversion and revenue in the process.
The Brief
Clintons Cards had been running on Magento 2 for years, a platform we knew inside out from supporting it day to day. It had become slow to change, expensive to host and awkward to extend, and every peak trading period turned into a stress test the business would rather not sit.
They wanted to move to Shopify Plus without losing a single order, customer record or product, and without breaking the integrations their operation depends on, including the stock and finance link into their internal financing platform.
What We Built
A clean Shopify Plus storefront, and the integration layer that kept the business running through the switch and after it.
Magento to Shopify Plus Migration
Every product, customer and historic order moved across to Shopify Plus, mapped and reconciled, so nothing was lost and customers noticed only a faster, cleaner store.
Order and Customer Sync
Orders and customer records flow between Shopify and the back office in real time, so the operation runs on one source of truth rather than nightly exports.
Product and Catalogue Integration
Product data, variants and pricing stay in step across systems, so the catalogue is managed once and is right everywhere it appears.
Stock and Finance Integration
A live link into their internal financing platform keeps stock levels and financials aligned, so what the store sells and what the business reports never drift apart.
A Resilient Peak
Shopify Plus takes the hosting and scaling worry off the table, so Christmas and Valentine's peaks are handled by the platform rather than a late night on call.
A Clean Handover
The store, the theme and the integration layer were documented and handed over, with us on hand through the first peak and beyond.
How We Ran It
A migration with no big-bang risk: mapped, staged, tested against real data, then switched over in a controlled cutover.
We mapped every Magento entity, integration and custom flow, using what we already knew from supporting the platform.
The Shopify Plus store and the integration layer were built and wired to a staging environment running real, anonymised data.
Products, customers and order history were moved and reconciled, with counts checked on both sides before anyone signed off.
A controlled switch with the integrations live from minute one, and us watching the first orders land.
The Result
Clintons Cards moved off Magento onto Shopify Plus with no lost data and no gap in trading. Conversion rate rose by over three percent and revenue was up fourteen percent, on a store that is faster to shop and far easier for the team to run.
The integrations that keep stock, finance, orders and customers in step came through the migration intact, and we still support the platform as the business grows.
Migrating a retailer the size of Clintons Cards is where these projects usually come unstuck. The volume of orders, customers and SKUs leaves nowhere to hide, but we moved the lot to Shopify Plus with the integrations live throughout, not a record out of place, and the store came out faster and trading better than it went in.

Case study · Food & Drink Ecommerce A Hot Sauce Brand Launched To Sell
The Sauce Foundry came to us as a startup with a great product and not much else. We built the brand, designed and built the store, sorted the product photography, and launched them to a 3.8% conversion rate from day one.
The Brief
The Sauce Foundry is an artisan hot sauce maker that arrived as a startup: a strong product, a founder with a vision, and no brand or store to sell it through. They needed the lot building from scratch, and they needed it to convert from launch, not eventually.
That meant more than a website. It meant an identity that looked established on day one, product photography good enough to sell a flavour through a screen, and a store built around the buy rather than bolted on after.
What We Built
A brand, a store and the photography to sell it, delivered together so nothing looked stitched from separate suppliers.
A Brand From Scratch
We shaped The Sauce Foundry's identity from the name outward, the logo, palette and voice, so a new maker turned up to market looking like it had been there for years.
A Store Built To Convert
A clean, fast storefront designed around the product and the buy, which is why it launched at a 3.8% conversion rate rather than slowly growing into one.
Product Photography, Sorted
Great sauce needs great photography, so we put them in touch with a photographer we trust and art directed the shots the store was built around.
Ready For Launch Day
Payments, shipping and stock were set up and tested so the very first order could land the moment the doors opened, not a week later.
Fast And Cached
Hosting tuned with server-level caching, so a small team is not paying enterprise bills and the store stays quick even when a new sauce takes off.
Room To Grow
Built on WooCommerce, so The Sauce Foundry owns the store outright and can add products, wholesale and subscriptions as the range expands.
How We Ran It
Brand first, then a store built around it, then a launch that was ready to sell from the first click.
We got to know the range, the maker and the customer, then agreed the brand direction and the shape of the store.
Identity, packaging cues and tone of voice, so the look was locked before a single page was designed.
The WooCommerce store designed and built around the products, with the photography we art directed dropped straight in.
Payments, shipping and analytics tested, then a clean launch, live and selling from day one.
The Result
The Sauce Foundry launched to a 3.8% conversion rate from day one, a figure plenty of established stores work years to reach. A brand new maker arrived at market looking the part, with a store that sold from the first visit.
We handled the brand, the build and the product photography together, and left them with a WooCommerce store they own outright and can grow into as the range and the business expand.
We came to Zestcode with a product and little else, and they handed us back a brand and a website we are genuinely pleased with. It looked the part from launch and, more to the point, it sold from launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
White Label Shopify Development for Agencies
If you are weighing up a white label Shopify partner, the questions that matter are usually the same: can they build what your client actually needs, will the store hold up once it goes live, and will your agency stay the only name the client ever sees. Here is how we handle all three.
What white label Shopify development involves for your agency
White label Shopify development means we build your client's store while your agency keeps the relationship. We work under your name, in your process, and the client never knows a separate developer was involved. You handle the strategy, design direction and account management; we handle the build.
In practice that covers everything from turning a Figma design into a pixel-accurate Shopify theme, to wiring up product logic, to integrating the apps and systems the store depends on. You get a technical team on demand without the cost and overhead of hiring Shopify developers in-house.
If you already outsource other builds, this sits alongside our wider white label web development work, so a single partner can cover Shopify and everything else your clients throw at you.
The Shopify projects we take on
Most of what we build falls into three buckets: new stores built from a design, custom theme development on top of an existing brand, and migrations from another platform onto Shopify. Each needs a slightly different approach, and we scope them separately rather than pretending they are the same job.
New builds are where we translate a design into a fast, maintainable theme. Custom theme work is usually about extending or rebuilding sections of a store the client already runs. Migrations are the ones that need the most care, because product data, URLs and SEO all have to survive the move intact.
If a client is torn between Shopify and open source, we also do white label WooCommerce development, so we can give you a straight answer on which platform actually fits the brief rather than defaulting to one.
Working in Liquid, metafields and the Shopify architecture
Shopify is opinionated about how a store is structured, and building well within those constraints is what separates a theme that lasts from one that fights the platform. We build in Liquid, use metafields and metaobjects for structured content, and lean on the theme editor so your client can manage their own store without breaking it.
That matters because a store is not handed over and forgotten. Merchandisers need to add products, swap banners and reorder sections themselves. We build flexible sections and settings so the everyday changes never come back to you as support requests.
Where a project needs logic Shopify does not offer out of the box, we build it properly rather than stacking apps until something works. The aim is a store that is genuinely yours to maintain, not a fragile arrangement held together by third-party plugins.
Not sure if Shopify can do what your client wants?
Send us the requirement, whether it is a custom checkout flow, complex product options or a third-party integration. We will tell you honestly what Shopify handles natively, what needs custom work, and what it would take.
Apps, integrations and custom functionality
Very few stores run on Shopify alone. They need to talk to an ERP, sync inventory, push orders into accounting, or connect a subscription and loyalty setup. We choose apps deliberately, because every one adds cost, weight and another thing that can break, and we only reach for custom code when it earns its place.
When a client needs something bespoke, such as a custom product configurator, a tailored checkout experience on Shopify Plus, or data flowing between Shopify and an external system, we build it against the real APIs. Our wider API integrations and business automation work often feeds directly into this, so the store is not an island.
We will always tell you when an off-the-shelf app does the job better and cheaper than a build. Selling you unnecessary custom work is a good way to lose a long-term partner.
QA, performance and launch
A Shopify store is judged on how it feels on a phone, not how it looks in a design file. Every build is tested across devices and browsers, with real attention to the mobile experience, because that is where most of the store's traffic and revenue will come from.
Performance is part of the build, not an afterthought. We keep an eye on image handling, script loading and app bloat, so the store stays fast under the weight of the apps a real merchant ends up installing. Slow stores lose sales, and your client will notice.
Before launch we run through the full checkout, test the awkward cases, and check that analytics, pixels and email flows are firing correctly. You get a store that is ready to sell on day one, not one that needs a fortnight of fixes after go-live.
How we work as your white label team
We work the way your agency works. That means fitting into your project management, communicating in your tone if we are client-facing under your name, and hitting the deadlines you have already promised. Reliable delivery is the whole point of a white label partner, so we treat your timelines as fixed commitments.
Pricing is quoted per project once we understand the scope, so you can mark it up and budget with confidence rather than working against an open-ended hourly rate. We are happy to work under an NDA, and staged payments are available on larger builds.
If Shopify is only one part of what your clients need, we can cover the rest too. Many agencies use us as a full outsourced web development team, with Shopify as one service among several rather than a one-off.
