About the Service

Online commerce breaks in predictable places. Online stores lose revenue to abandoned carts and overloaded support inboxes; retail chains run loyalty on plastic cards nobody carries; marketplaces and D2C brands outgrow boxed platforms the moment a workflow stops fitting the template. Momentum Squads builds custom software and AI for exactly these problems: web platforms and online stores, chat-based sales channels, loyalty systems, and the integrations that tie them into the POS, CRM, and ERP systems a retail business already runs.

For online stores and D2C brands, we build around the way you actually sell, not the way a template assumes. For Pnevmo remont we delivered a fully custom online store with its own inventory management, CRM functionality, and shipping and payment integrations. For Cloud Castle, a premium brand with more than 7,000 product SKUs across 59 stores, our conversion-focused landing redesign helped generate over $5M in revenue and attract 40,000+ authorized customers. And when commerce is the product itself, we build the platform: Felen, a global content-monetization service, sells digital and physical goods through a custom payment aggregator that routes both fiat and crypto transactions and holds up under real-time, high-load traffic.

The strongest pattern in our e-commerce work is chat as a first-class sales channel. The Telegram bot we built for that same vaping retailer handles product search, ordering, store locations, and bonus cards for 50,000+ customers and has generated over $5 million — a store inside the messenger, not an FAQ widget. On the support side, Maslotom's AI assistant answers product questions and manages orders, cancellations, and delivery updates, automating 80% of incoming requests. What we build in this space is detailed on our AI retail bots page and across our chatbot development services.

Retail chains bring different problems: loyalty without forcing an app install, price transparency on the shop floor, promotions that actually reach customers. For the Nasha Rukavychka retail chain we packed a digital loyalty card, barcode price scanner, promotions, and store finder into one chat assistant. Our café loyalty system runs QR bonuses, cashback, and referrals synchronized with Poster POS, so bonuses apply at the counter in one tap. And for Hyundai, Škoda, and Suzuki dealer networks we built a platform where high-consideration retail — test drives, financing, service booking — happens in chat, integrated with dealership stores, CRM, and service systems.

Industry context is most of the work. E-commerce software lives or dies on integrations — product feeds, POS and ERP data, delivery providers, payment systems — and on details generic teams discover late: fiscal compliance (Online Casa, our chat-based point of sale, issues fiscal receipts and handles tax reporting for small businesses), traffic peaks in promo seasons, and catalogs too large for manual upkeep. We have been building for commerce since 2017, and every figure above comes from a published case. If your store, chain, or platform has outgrown its current setup, the case studies below are the fastest way to judge whether we fit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does software development for an e-commerce business cost?
It depends on what you are building. A conversion-focused landing page, a fully custom online store with inventory and CRM, and an AI sales bot sit in very different budget ranges — and integrations with POS, ERP, or delivery services shift an estimate more than design does. We scope every project in a discovery phase first, so you get a concrete figure for your specific case rather than a menu price.
How do you integrate with the POS, ERP, or CRM systems we already use?
Integration is usually the core of the project, not an add-on. We have connected loyalty systems to Poster POS so bonuses apply at the counter in one tap, synchronized a dealer platform with dealership stores, CRM, and service systems, and wired custom stores into shipping and payment providers. During discovery we audit your systems and their APIs, then design the data flows before any code is written.
Can chat really work as a full sales channel, not just support?
Yes — with the right scope it carries the whole journey. The Telegram bot we built for a premium retail brand handles product search, ordering, loyalty cards, and store locations for 50,000+ customers and has generated over $5 million across 7,000 products in 59 stores. It works because the bot is a storefront with live catalog data, not a widget that answers questions.
Can we run a loyalty program without building a mobile app?
Yes. A chat-based loyalty system gives customers a digital card inside a messenger they already have: QR codes to collect and spend bonuses, cashback, referral rewards, and promo broadcasts. Staff scan the customer's QR to apply bonuses in one tap, and admins control cashback rates and campaigns from a dashboard. We run this in production for a retail chain and a café network — POS-synchronized, no app install.
We already sell on an e-commerce platform. When is custom development worth it?
When your workflow stops fitting the template. Off-the-shelf platforms are the right call until you need your own inventory logic, a custom CRM process, unusual delivery or payment flows, or a sales channel the platform cannot host. For Pnevmo remont we built a fully custom store — catalog, inventory management, CRM functionality, shipping and payment integrations — precisely because a boxed solution could not model how they work.
Can sales through chat stay compliant with fiscal requirements?
Yes — fiscalization can be built into the sales flow itself. Online Casa, a chat-based point of sale we built for small and medium businesses, issues fiscal receipts through integrated software cash registers, accepts payments by tapping a bank card on a smartphone, and handles tax reporting for both individual entrepreneurs and companies. If your market has similar requirements, we design compliance in from the start rather than patching it on later.
How long does an e-commerce project take?
A focused landing page takes weeks; a custom store or a chat sales channel with integrations is a multi-month build. Two things keep timelines honest: a discovery phase that fixes scope before development starts, and delivery in one-to-two-week iterations, so you see working software throughout instead of waiting for a big reveal. Seasonal deadlines — a launch before the holiday peak — are planned into the schedule from day one.
Where do we start?
With a short discovery conversation: what you sell, which channels matter, what systems you already run, and where revenue leaks — carts, support load, loyalty, or a channel you have not opened yet. From that we propose the two or three highest-impact pieces, an estimate, and a delivery plan. Browse the case studies on this page first; they are the fastest way to see how we work.
