Design
We design the flows, roles, approvals and integrations for store integration and cart recovery, and review a clickable prototype or technical design with the people who will use it before anything is built.
Build
We build in weekly demos, starting with store integration, then cart recovery and COD confirmation. Each release is tested on your own data and passes a human approval gate before the next begins.
