eCommerce platforms built to convert browsers into loyal customers.
We've built eCommerce platforms for some of Australia's most recognised consumer and B2B brands — from one of Australia's first online businesses to B Corp certified natural pet food, premium office fitouts, and Australia's premier gifting brand.
We understand the difference between a website that looks like a store and one that actually performs like one.

We work best with these kinds of businesses
Established brands moving to a better platform
Brands on ageing platforms whose conversion rate, site speed, or product catalogue management has outgrown what they're currently running on. Shopify migrations, custom rebuilds, or hybrid approaches — starting with what the business actually needs.
Premium & lifestyle consumer brands
Brands where the digital experience needs to match the product — where cutting corners on design or UX directly undermines the premium positioning the brand has built. Bondi Wash, Dr Comfort, Applaws — brands where the store is part of the brand.
B2B & complex catalogue eCommerce
Businesses with large or complex product catalogues, B2B ordering requirements, account management, or trade pricing structures that generic Shopify themes can't accommodate without significant custom development.
Gifting, flowers & perishables eCommerce
eCommerce businesses where delivery timing, order management, and the gifting experience require logic that standard platforms handle poorly — fulfilment rules, time-slot booking, customisation flows, and corporate gifting functionality.
What eCommerce leaders actually worry about when rebuilding their store
eCommerce rebuilds have a failure mode most brands have experienced firsthand — a beautiful new site that converts worse than the old one. These are the concerns that matter.
“Our last rebuild looked great and converted worse. We can’t afford that again.”
“Site speed is killing our conversion rate, especially on mobile.”
“Our new site needs to connect to ERP, 3PL, inventory, and more.”
“Our brand is premium — we can’t look like every Shopify store.”
Templates make launching easy, but they also make brands look the same. For premium brands, the experience is the brand.
“Our catalogue is complex — variants, bundles, B2B pricing, trade accounts.”
Complex catalogues fail when structure is an afterthought. Variants, pricing rules, and account logic must be defined early.
“We need real insight — attribution, LTV, cohort analysis.”
Analytics fails when data structure is an afterthought. What you can measure is defined by how the system is built properly.
Most eCommerce builds optimise for launch, not revenue.
The agency eCommerce model has a structural issue: incentives reward launching beautiful stores, not improving revenue. The result is often a site that looks better but converts worse.
The real difference happens before design starts. A proper Discovery phase maps buyer behaviour, audits funnels, defines integrations, and sets performance targets — so the store is built to perform, not just launch.
We’ve built for long-standing eCommerce brands and first-time DTC launches. From complex gifting models like Roses Only, to hybrid B2B/DTC like JasonL, to premium positioning like Applaws — that range gives us the context to make better product decisions.
Conversion architecture before design
Funnel audit, buyer behaviour analysis, and conversion requirements defined in Discovery — before design begins. The store is built for purchase intent, not visual appeal that doesn't drive revenue.
Integration-first scoping approach
Every system that needs to connect — ERP, 3PL, inventory, CRM, loyalty — mapped and complexity understood before quoting. Integration surprises cost when discovered mid-build.
Shopify as a platform, not a template
Full custom theme development for brands where premium positioning requires it. Headless where UX needs demand it. The right architecture for the brand — not the default.
Named leads who stay on the project

From Australia's first eCommerce brand to premium B2B and DTC.
$73M gifting revenue, Australia's largest stocked office furniture range, and a B Corp certified natural pet food brand. Three very different eCommerce briefs.
Roses Only: A $73M premium gifting platform rebuilt to handle scale, seasonality, and complex fulfilment.
We rebuilt Roses Only’s store from the ground up. The result: delivery-slot ordering tied to florist capacity, corporate gifting workflows, and a premium checkout experience for one of Australia’s earliest eCommerce brands.

JasonL: Australia’s largest commercial furniture eCommerce platform rebuilt for a hybrid B2B and DTC model.
We rebuilt JasonL’s Shopify experience from the ground up. The result: a large commercial catalogue, trade pricing for business accounts, and a unified system supporting both online orders and nationwide 10-day fitout delivery workflows.

Applaws: A B Corp certified pet food eCommerce platform rebuilt for premium brand storytelling and conversion.
We rebuilt Applaws’ AU & NZ store from the ground up. The result: a brand-led shopping experience, subscription-ready architecture, and a unified product story built around trust, provenance, and ingredients.

The eCommerce platforms Australian brands actually need
Generic Shopify themes and templated builds are the right answer for simple catalogues launching their first store. They're the wrong answer for established brands with conversion requirements, integration complexity, premium positioning, or the kind of catalogue scale and B2B logic that standard templates weren't built to handle.
Everything below is something we've delivered — for real Australian brands, with real revenue at stake, where the platform's performance directly affects the business.
Shopify Custom Development
Full custom Shopify theme development for brands where premium positioning demands more than a template — plus the app integrations, custom functionality, and catalogue architecture that make Shopify perform at the level your brand requires.
Custom eCommerce Platforms
Bespoke eCommerce builds for businesses with catalogue complexity, B2B requirements, gifting logic, or subscription models that off-the-shelf platforms handle poorly — built on the right architecture for the specific commercial model.
B2B & Trade eCommerce
Trade portals, account management, tiered pricing, and purchase approval workflows for businesses that sell to both consumers and trade customers — without building and maintaining two separate stores.
Platform Migrations
Shopify migrations, re-platforming from legacy systems, and full rebuilds for brands whose current platform has outgrown their needs — with catalogue migration, SEO continuity, and conversion-first design built in from the start.
eCommerce Integrations
ERP, 3PL, inventory management, CRM, loyalty, payment gateways, accounting, and marketing platform integrations — mapped and built before launch so the store and the operations stack work as a single system.
Headless CMS
A process built for
eCommerce that actually converts
Most eCommerce builds start with design. Ours starts with understanding how your buyers behave, where your current funnel loses them, and what the platform needs to do before a single wireframe is drawn.
Discovery
Funnel audit, buyer behaviour analysis, integration mapping, catalogue architecture, and performance targets — all defined before design begins. Fixed price. Documents yours regardless of what comes next.
Design
Brand-led design that's built for conversion — not just visual appeal. UX validated against buyer behaviour insights from Discovery. Performance budgets set. Mobile-first throughout, because that's where most of your traffic arrives.
Build
Two-week sprints with full visibility. Integrations built and tested against real data. Performance maintained to Core Web Vitals standards throughout. Catalogue architecture validated before product import. ISO 27001 process throughout.
Launch & Optimise
Launch is not the end — it's when real conversion data starts arriving. Post-launch support, A/B testing infrastructure, and ongoing optimisation structured in from the start for clients who want to improve performance over time.
Heard from clients who've been through it
What stood out straight away was how clear they were on cost. We got a realistic estimate early, understood what was included, and there were no hidden extras later. As part of our research process, we received a few vague quotes from other agencies. When comparing these to EB Pearls’ transparent costing, it was a no-brainer.

I came in with the idea, but had no technical background. Their team explained things clearly, gave honest advice, and helped me understand what was worth investing in first. I was expecting it to be an intimidating process, but I never felt overwhelmed or talked down to.
Lead Account Manager, Newscorp Australia
The website that EBPearls developed for Gondwana Link does everything we asked for. It is very easy to use in the backend and the design is fresh and clean which is what we wanted. EBPearls build customised ‘modules' and they all work well and are very intuitive to use. I needed very little training to be able to use the back end.

As usage grew, our app kept up. We didn’t hit a wall of slower releases, unstable features, and constant firefighting later down the line. The foundations were strong from the start, and that gave us confidence as the business grew. It was one less thing to think about!

eCommerce Development
EB Pearls is a Sydney-based eCommerce development company with 20+ years of experience building platforms for Australian brands.

eCommerce development is more than design and build. It requires conversion architecture, integration planning, catalogue structure, performance engineering, and a deep understanding of buyer behaviour — the difference between stores that look good and stores that convert.
Shopify Development
Custom Shopify builds for premium and complex brands — not templated stores with brand colours applied.
B2B eCommerce
Trade portals, tiered pricing, account workflows, and approvals for hybrid B2B/DTC operations.
eCommerce Migrations
Full re-platforming with SEO continuity, catalogue migration, and conversion-led rebuilds from Discovery.

Questions eCommerce leaders
always eventually ask
We'd rather answer these here than have them surface after a commitment has been made.
Shopify is the right platform for most eCommerce businesses — the ecosystem is mature, the hosting is managed, and the total cost of ownership is lower than a custom build for most use cases. The question is whether to use Shopify as a template or as a platform. For brands with premium positioning, complex catalogues, B2B requirements, or integration complexity, the answer is usually custom Shopify theme development — not a template with brand colours. Genuinely custom requirements (fulfilment logic, marketplace integrations, highly complex B2B workflows) may warrant a hybrid or fully custom approach. We'll give you an honest recommendation based on your specific situation.
Large and complex catalogues are an architecture problem before they're a build problem. We map your product structure, variant logic, bundle requirements, and pricing rules in Discovery — and design the data model and Shopify architecture before importing a single product. JasonL's full commercial furniture range across multiple product types and B2B pricing is an example of the complexity we've handled. The right architecture question to ask is whether your product structure fits within Shopify's native variant model or needs a custom solution.
Full IP ownership on delivery — every line of custom code, every design asset, every integration. No lock-in to EB Pearls for maintenance. No proprietary dependencies. Written into the contract from the start.
SEO continuity is a Discovery requirement, not a post-launch task. We map your existing URL structure, identify high-value pages, and design the redirect strategy before build starts — so URL changes, catalogue restructuring, and platform moves are planned for rather than discovered after organic traffic drops. Technical SEO migration is part of the build scope, not a separate engagement after the damage is done.
We start with a funnel audit of the existing store — identifying where buyers drop off, what friction points exist in the purchase flow, and what the data says about how your customers actually navigate. Conversion architecture is then a Discovery deliverable — defined before design begins. This means the design is briefed on conversion requirements rather than briefed on aesthetics and expected to convert. It doesn't guarantee improvement — but it creates the conditions for it, which a purely design-led brief doesn't.
30–45 minutes. No pitch deck. We ask about your platform, your catalogue, your current conversion rate, your integration landscape, and your timeline. You ask us whatever you want. By the end, you'll know whether we're the right fit. If we're not, we'll tell you that too.
