Multiple WooCommerce stores with BAC, Promerica, GreenPay, and PayPal integrations.
Shopify is great until you need payments from a Costa Rican bank. Stripe doesn't work in half of Latin America. And the freelancer who set up your WooCommerce store didn't configure tax calculations correctly, so now you do it by hand every month.
We build e-commerce for businesses selling in Costa Rica, Central America, and internationally. The payment gateways that work here (BAC, Promerica, GreenPay), shipping integrations for local carriers, checkout flows that don't scare customers away.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you build software for ecommerce companies?
Yes. We help ecommerce teams launch new products, modernize older systems, and ship features faster with a Costa Rica-based engineering team.
What kinds of ecommerce products have you worked on?
We work on storefronts, custom checkout flows, payment integrations, catalog tools, promotions, fulfillment workflows, and customer experience improvements.
Can you work with an existing ecommerce platform or codebase?
Yes. Many clients bring us into an existing product, legacy codebase, or internal team that needs more delivery capacity without starting over.
What technologies do you use for ecommerce software development?
WooCommerce, WordPress, custom web apps, payment gateways, shipping integrations, analytics, and backend services around catalog and order workflows.
How do you handle security and compliance for ecommerce products?
We treat payments, customer accounts, tax rules, and order data as core product requirements. Security, QA, and integration testing are built into delivery instead of bolted on later.
Do you work with US ecommerce companies from Costa Rica?
Costa Rica gives North American retail teams overlapping work hours, faster launch coordination, and easier collaboration around promotions and operational deadlines.
How long does a ecommerce software project take?
Smaller ecommerce improvements can ship in weeks. Full builds, redesigns, or migrations take longer depending on catalog size, integrations, and checkout complexity.
Can you augment an in-house ecommerce product team?
Yes. Some clients hire us for full project delivery, while others add one or more developers, designers, or QA people to an existing internal team.
Why choose a Costa Rica team for ecommerce software development?
You get North America-friendly time zones, direct communication, and senior product-minded execution without the latency that usually comes with distant offshore delivery.
How do we start a ecommerce software project with 5e Labs?
We begin with your product goals, technical constraints, compliance concerns, and delivery timeline. Then we recommend the right team shape and implementation plan.
