E-commerce Websites
An online store that shows your products, takes payment and organises the orders that come out of it. Built for Brazil, with Pix, boleto, card instalments, freight by CEP and a panel your team can actually run.
An e-commerce website is an online store that displays your products, takes payment and organises the orders that come out of it. MERIDIAN builds stores for small and medium sellers in Brazil ready to sell outside a marketplace, an Instagram profile or a WhatsApp catalogue.
The build covers the whole path a customer walks: finding a product, understanding it, paying and receiving it. That means product pages, cart and checkout, Pix, boleto and card in instalments, freight by CEP, and a panel where your team manages stock and orders.
What's included
Product catalogue — categories, variations such as size and colour, photos, descriptions and stock per item.
Brazilian payments — Pix, boleto and card in instalments through Mercado Pago, PagSeguro, Asaas or Stripe.
Freight by CEP — shipping calculated live with Correios or a carrier, plus free delivery and pickup rules.
Checkout built to convert — short and mobile-friendly, with as few steps and required fields as the gateway allows.
Order management — one panel for paid, pending and shipped orders, with labels and tracking codes.
Product page SEO — clean URLs, titles, descriptions and structured data showing price and availability.
Integrations — connections to your ERP, spreadsheet, NF-e issuer or marketplace accounts.
Why a store that is slightly wrong loses money every day
A store is not a brochure. Every extra checkout field, every slow image, every CEP that returns no freight option is a customer closing the tab. Most visitors leave a page that takes more than a few seconds to load, and in a store fed by ads that visitor already cost you money.
Trust weighs just as heavily in Brazil. Buyers look for a CNPJ, a real address, a clear return policy and a padlock in the address bar. If the store looks improvised, people go back to the marketplace where they feel protected.
The part that hurts quietly is stock. A store that sells something you no longer have produces refunds, arguments and bad reviews, usually on your busiest days. Connecting stock to the system you already use stops being optional once you have volume.
How it works
Catalogue and rules — we map products, variations, prices, freight, payment methods and return policy. One to two weeks, mostly spent making product data usable.
Design and product page — we design the store and above all the product page and checkout, which decide your conversion. One to two weeks.
Build and integrations — catalogue, cart, checkout, gateway, freight and any ERP or invoicing connection. Three to six weeks, depending on catalogue size.
Real testing — test purchases with Pix, boleto and card, plus refunds, cancellations and freight quotes to several regions. Around a week.
Launch and training — we go live, then train whoever handles orders so nobody is guessing on the first sale.
Who this is for
An online store makes sense when demand exists and the manual process is holding you back, or when marketplace commission eats a margin you would rather keep. It is a bigger commitment than a business website and needs someone to run it.
Shops and boutiques on Instagram and WhatsApp that cannot keep up with messages.
Sellers on Mercado Livre or Shopee who want a channel with no commission per order.
Bakeries, food producers and small factories selling direct to the consumer.
Brands with a few dozen products that want control over the buying experience.
Pricing
Contact for quote. A store has too many moving parts for one honest number on a page. A thirty-product shop on a ready platform is a different job from a two-thousand-item catalogue with B2B price tables and an ERP integration.
What changes the figure: the number of products and variations, whether we import the catalogue or you fill it in, which gateway you choose, fixed or live freight, ERP and NF-e integrations, B2B rules and the deadline. Send your product list and you get a written scope with a fixed price.
Common questions
Ready platform or a custom store?
If your catalogue is straightforward, a ready platform is cheaper and faster, and we configure it properly instead of building from scratch. Custom makes sense when you need specific integrations, B2B rules or a buying flow the platform will not allow. We say which fits before quoting.
Do I need a CNPJ to sell online?
To issue invoices and open an account with most gateways in Brazil, yes, and for many sellers an MEI is enough to start. We are developers, not accountants, so confirm the tax side with yours. We make sure the store sends correct data to the gateway and your invoicing system.
How does the money reach me?
Through the gateway you choose. The customer pays with Pix, boleto or card, the gateway confirms it and releases the order, and the amount settles to your account on that gateway's schedule. Each charges a percentage per sale, and we compare them with you first.
What happens after the store goes live?
Stores need continuous attention: platform and plugin updates, security patches, backups and fixes when a gateway or carrier changes something. We cover that with a maintenance plan, or hand the store over documented if you have someone internal to run it.
