A custom storefront wired straight into Stripe — your brand, your data, your domain. Built for the aerospace suppliers, light-industrial makers, and family shops that quietly run Cypress.
Cypress is a working town. Aerospace suppliers off Lincoln Avenue, light-industrial shops near the Cypress College area, a family retailer on Walker that has been there longer than the strip mall around it. A lot of these operators sell B2B by phone and fax and have never put a real catalog online. When they do try, it's a parts list someone exported into a generic template that nobody can read or buy from.
Shopify isn't built for this seller. A precision parts supplier with sixty active line items and a finance buyer on the other end doesn't need a fashion theme with an Instagram feed bolted on. They need a clean catalog, real part numbers, a checkout that takes a company card, and a receipt that doubles as a document accounting will accept. The platform fights all of that and charges monthly for the privilege.
Stripe-direct fits the way these shops actually sell. Stripe moves the money. The catalog, the product pages, the cart, the checkout, the receipt — all written around your business, your part numbers, your terms. You pay Stripe's processing fee and nothing else. No monthly platform rent, no theme that assumes you're selling t-shirts, nobody sitting between you and a buyer who reorders the same five parts every quarter.
An aerospace parts supplier off Lincoln Avenue. Sixty active line items — fasteners, fittings, small assemblies — that repeat buyers reorder by part number. The catalog is built for that: search by number, clear specs, no decoration. A buyer pays by company card; the receipt reads as a clean document accounting can file. Stripe handles the cards. Inventory shows what's actually on the shelf. We wire it in about three weeks and hand it to the office manager.
A light-industrial maker near Cypress College. A shop that fabricates a small line of finished goods — brackets, mounts, a branded tool the trades buy in twos and threes. Twenty SKUs, photographed properly, with the kind of spec table a contractor trusts. The look matches the shop's signage and invoices, not a theme with a logo on top. Local pickup at the dock is an option, since half the buyers are nearby.
A family retailer on Walker Street. A long-standing shop putting its best fifteen products online for the first time — the ones regulars already ask for. The pages read in plain language, load fast on a phone, and the checkout takes one screen. The receipt and shipping note sound like the owner, because that's who wrote them. No platform fee eating into thin margins.
This works when the catalog is small enough to design around, the brand carries the sale, and you want the code in your own account. It does not work for a thousand-variant inventory, a full warehouse or ERP system, marketplace seller logins, or a stack of twenty Shopify apps. For that, Shopify Plus is the honest answer and I will say so before you sign.
The studio is based in San Diego. Cypress is reachable for an in-person in roughly two hours; most of the build runs remote, which suits a B2B shop fine. The handoff lands on your domain, with your Stripe keys, with the source in a repository you own. One person does the work — that is what the price and the three-week timeline buy you.
