E-commerce in Canary Wharf
Your online store competes for attention and converts visitors into orders. We build storefronts that handle UK tax, payments and shipping without friction—then measure what actually sells.
E-commerce for Canary Wharf businesses
Hubb Group is a digital agency and software company. Our studio is in Dubai and we work with UK clients remotely, on UK hours, with a named lead on every project. Contracts and invoices are issued by our UAE company, in pounds.
We measure conversion rate, transaction value, payment method mix, cart abandonment value, and checkout completion time. Monthly reporting shows baseline versus post-launch performance, friction points in the funnel, and which product categories generate revenue. No guarantees—only data that justifies the investment to your approval chain.
Every project is a fixed quote with a clear timeline and clear milestones. You own the work and the accounts outright when we're done — no lock-in, and nothing you can't take with you.

Checkout design that stops money leaving the cart
Cart abandonment costs real revenue. We design checkout flows that remove friction at every step—field validation, guest checkout options, and payment method choice that matches how your customers actually pay. Load speed matters here. A slow form loses conversions before your customer finishes typing.
We integrate BNPL providers and UK payment gateways without bloat. The result: fewer steps between product view and order confirmation. We measure this against your baseline, so you see exactly how design changes affect your conversion rate.
UK tax rules and Royal Mail built into the platform
VAT-inclusive pricing must display correctly from day one. Regional tax rules, postage costs and courier integrations sit inside the platform, not bolted on afterwards. Returns workflows connect to your operations so refunds process without delay. Customers see accurate delivery costs before they pay.
This matters to your team because compliance review happens before launch. No surprises in staging. No post-launch fixes that require a second sign-off. Rules that matter to HMRC and your customer service desk are baked in from the start.
Product merchandising that moves stock
Category navigation, filtering and search need to guide browsers toward products—not trap them in dead ends. We structure product data and build front-end logic that surfaces stock strategically. High-margin items, seasonal stock and clearance inventory all have a place in the merchandising sequence.
Your team controls this after launch through the CMS. No coding required to reorder categories, swap featured products or adjust filters. Change what sells based on what your data tells you, without waiting for developer time.
Measurement that justifies investment to stakeholders
Conversion rate, average order value, abandoned cart value and payment method breakdown. We set up tracking that matches your business questions and passes compliance sign-off. No consent issues. No audit flags. Clean data from day one.
Your stakeholders see reports that answer one question: is the store converting visitors into orders? We deliver this monthly with context—how conversion compares to baseline, where friction sits in the funnel, and which product categories drive revenue.

E-commerce in Canary Wharf — common questions
How long does compliance review take before we can go live?
We build with compliance baked in, not bolted on after. Your legal and tax teams review a platform that already handles UK VAT, BNPL regulations and data rules. Sign-off typically moves faster because there's less to query or fix.
Do you integrate with our existing shipping and returns systems?
If your system has an API, we connect to it. Royal Mail, major couriers, and returns management platforms integrate without rip-and-replace. If your back-office system sits outside what we can reach, we build a workaround and document the handoff clearly.
Can we display prices including VAT for UK customers and exclusive of VAT for EU buyers?
Yes. Pricing logic sits inside the platform and responds to customer location and account type. Regional tax rules apply automatically, so display and calculations match your compliance requirements.
What happens if we need to change product categories or featured items after launch?
Your team manages merchandising through the CMS without code. Reorder categories, swap hero products, adjust filters, and update stock status. Changes go live immediately—no developer ticket required.
How do we know if the checkout redesign actually reduced abandonment?
We track conversion rate before and after launch, measure which payment methods complete most orders, and flag where customers drop off. Monthly reporting shows whether changes moved the needle and where friction remains.
Does this work if we sell both B2B and direct-to-consumer?
Yes. We build separate user flows so B2B buyers see net pricing and different payment terms, while consumer customers see retail prices and BNPL options. Merchandising and checkout adapt based on account type.
