Meridianstacks builds top-quality e-commerce stores at a fraction of local-agency cost. We are a team of senior, fluent-English engineers, and your matched hub is Lagos (UTC+1) — a 0–1 hour offset from Dublin, so our engineers share your full working day. You get a professionally built online store — catalogue, checkout, payments and admin — at a fixed price in euro, 40–70% below a typical Irish agency, with full code ownership and real-time, same-day collaboration.
A custom e-commerce store in Ireland usually costs €15,000–€70,000+ at a local agency, depending on catalogue size, payment and shipping rules, and integrations. Meridianstacks builds the same store to a high standard for 40–70% less — from €7,000–€14,000 for a custom storefront (our Focused tier) to €14,000–€27,500 for a custom ecommerce platform (Standard tier), quoted as a fixed price in euro before work begins. It is the most cost-effective way to get a professionally built online store in Ireland: premium build, best value, you own all the code, and our engineers work your hours.
An established shop moving online, or replacing a slow, dated store — a fast catalogue, reliable checkout and an admin your team can run day to day, with click-and-collect or local delivery.
A maker, creator or single-founder brand selling direct: a clean, on-brand storefront with subscriptions, bundles and promotions, without a big agency retainer.
A new commerce idea that needs to launch and sell quickly, then scale — a lean first store with the integrations and analytics to prove the model.
A store that sells is more than a product grid. These are the core building blocks we ship as standard — every one configured for the Irish and EU market, with VAT and shipping handled correctly from day one.
A free scoping call covers your catalogue, payments, shipping and integrations. You get a fixed price in euro, a timeline, and the senior engineers who will build it.
An on-brand, mobile-first storefront and the catalogue structure, reviewed live with you. We build to a high standard and you sign off before we go further.
Cart, checkout, payments, inventory, shipping, tax, promotions, admin and analytics — with code review on every change and tests on checkout and payments.
We go live with your domain, payment gateway and analytics connected, and a smooth handover. A focused store launches in 5–9 weeks; larger builds run 10–16.
Optional retainer for new features, seasonal campaigns and performance tuning — same senior engineers, working your hours.
Code, design and IP are yours, in your repository from day one. No lock-in: any developer can pick it up. Signed, GDPR-compliant DPA included.
