Building quick commerce on Magento
If you sell for fast, local delivery, the hard part is never the website. It is making sure you only sell what the nearby store can actually deliver, and that the order reaches a rider without anyone retyping it. We build that on Magento, so you run quick commerce on a store you own instead of renting a platform that takes a cut.
- Stock and prices set by location
- Delivery slots and live tracking
- A fast, simple mobile checkout
- We have done Magento since 2009
What it needs to do
- Show only what is in stock nearby
- Pick the closest store on its own
- Offer delivery slots and pickup
- Send orders straight to riders
The website is the easy part
You want to promise delivery in an hour. The website looks ready to go. Then the real problems turn up.
A customer orders something the nearby store does not actually have, because the site sells from one big catalog. Your stock count is right in the warehouse but wrong for each location. Orders come in faster than your team can pass them to riders, so someone ends up copying details by hand. And the ready-made quick commerce platforms that fix all this take a cut of every order and keep your data locked inside their system.
Quick commerce is really an operations problem wearing a website. That is the part most builds get wrong, and the part we plan with you before any code is written.
When the pieces do not line up
Sell something the local store cannot deliver, and you either cancel the order or break your promise. Either way you lose the customer, and often the next order too.
Pass orders to riders by hand, and you lose minutes on every one, which is exactly the time you do not have when the promise is half an hour. And renting a platform to avoid all this means paying a cut of every sale, forever, and shaping your business around someone else's rules. The cost shows up as cancelled orders, slow handoffs, and margin handed to a platform you do not own.
The pieces a quick commerce store needs
Magento already handles stock across more than one location. We build the rest on top of that, so the shop always matches what your nearest outlet can really do.
A local catalog
Shoppers see the products, prices and delivery times for their address, based on the store or dark store that can serve them.
Stock by location
Live stock for each outlet, so you never take an order the nearby store cannot actually fill.
Slots and pickup
Time slots, express windows and click-and-collect, with clear cut-off times your customers can rely on.
A checkout built for speed
A short, mobile-first checkout with saved addresses and quick payment, so an order takes seconds.
Orders that reach riders
Orders go straight to your delivery and dispatch systems, with live tracking, so nobody is retyping anything.
An app, if you want one
A web app or mobile app for regulars who want to reorder in a couple of taps, on the same backend.
We start with how you deliver, not a template
The build follows your operations, because that is the part that decides whether quick commerce works.
We map how you deliver
We go through your delivery areas, your stores or dark stores, and the rules for who fills each order. This shapes everything else.
We set up the local side
We set up location-based catalog and pricing, stock for each outlet, and the rules that decide where an order is sent.
We build delivery and checkout
We build the slots, the fast checkout, and the links to your payment, rider and dispatch systems.
We test the whole loop
We test the full path, from a shopper's address to a rider's hand, then launch with monitoring in place.
We have built the hard parts before
Stock across many locations, custom checkout, and links to outside systems are everyday work for us. Quick commerce is those pieces put together with care, and we have worked on Magento since 2009 across more than 3000 stores.
We are also honest about what is realistic. If your delivery model is not ready, we will tell you where to start, even if that means starting smaller than you planned.
Common questions
Can Magento really run quick commerce?
Yes, with the right build. Magento handles stock across multiple locations out of the box. We add the local catalog, delivery slots, fast checkout and rider links on top of that, so the shop matches what each store can deliver.
Do you connect to rider and delivery apps?
Yes. We connect Magento to the payment, delivery and dispatch systems you use or plan to use, so orders reach riders and you can track them, without anyone copying details by hand.
Can my customers order from an app?
Yes. We can build a web app or a mobile app for fast reordering, working alongside the website on the same store.
I am not sure my model is ready. Where do I start?
Start with a call. We will go through how you want to deliver and tell you honestly what is realistic on Magento, what it takes, and a sensible place to begin.
Tell us how you want to deliver
Share your delivery model and the areas you cover. We will map it onto Magento and come back with a clear plan and a real price.
