Webshop Engine: our bespoke e-commerce engine

Webshop Engine is the online-shop engine developed by LBO Dev for businesses that sell both to professionals (B2B) and to consumers (B2C). Conceived as a complete white-label foundation, it is deployed for each client under their own identity, with their own data, and grows through modules you can switch on as you wish.

The need

A wholesaler in the food sector needed to offer its professional clients a genuine online shop: prices negotiated per client, ordering by packaging unit, cold-chain management through to delivery, compliant invoicing and payment on invoice. Off-the-shelf solutions proved either too rigid or too costly to adapt to these precise business rules. So we designed a bespoke engine, tailored to these requirements, and built from the outset to be reusable by other businesses.

One engine, many deployments

Webshop Engine owes its strength to its architecture: a single, robust, versioned core from which we deploy as many shops as we have clients, each isolated and personalised. Every business gets a platform in its own image — its theme, its catalogue, its rules — without starting from a blank page. As development costs are amortised across the shared core, each client enjoys a high level of functionality for a controlled investment.

On top of this foundation come modules you can switch on, like so many options you plug in as needed. A shop can start out simple, then activate professional pricing, stock release, logistics or analytics tools as it grows.

A demand for quality and security

A tool that handles orders and payments leaves no room for approximation. Webshop Engine is built to strict standards: coverage by automated tests, static code analysis, protection against request forgery (CSRF), role-based access control and two-factor authentication for administration. Every go-live follows a dedicated hardening procedure.

The technologies

Webshop Engine rests on a modern, high-performance stack: a recent PHP back-end, a React interface in TypeScript, a fast in-memory basket (Redis) and a containerised environment (Docker) ensuring reliable, reproducible deployments. It is this same technical standard that we bring to all our bespoke development projects.
