What is E-commerce Integrations?

For businesses in the Dominican Republic, the ability to accept payments online is no longer optional — it's the difference between capturing a sale and losing it to a competitor who does. E-commerce integration adds a complete, secure online store to your existing website or new build, letting your customers browse products, add to cart, and pay using PayPal, Stripe, Apple Pay, or custom checkout flows — all without leaving your site.

We've built e-commerce solutions for Dominican businesses with real results: our Punta Cana scuba diving client saw a 200% increase in booking conversions after we integrated a PayPal-powered checkout into their Next.js site on Netlify. Every e-commerce integration we build is mobile-first — because Dominican shoppers overwhelmingly browse and buy on smartphones — and is backed by Sanity CMS so you can update your products, prices, and inventory without touching code or calling a developer.

Whether you're a tour operator in Punta Cana selling activity packages, a retailer in Santo Domingo launching your first online store, a restaurant selling meal kits, or any business wanting to accept payments online — we scope and build the right e-commerce solution for your product catalog, your payment preferences, and your customers. Starting from $900 as an add-on to any existing website, or as part of a new custom build.

The Transformation

Before:

  • Only accepting cash or in-person payments — losing online sales
  • Manually processing orders via WhatsApp or phone
  • No way to manage or track inventory online
  • Customers abandoning because there's no easy checkout
  • No visibility into what products sell or where buyers drop off

After:

  • Accept PayPal, Stripe & credit cards — 24/7 online sales
  • Automated checkout, receipts, and order notifications
  • Product management via CMS — update stock without code
  • Mobile-first checkout that converts Dominican shoppers
  • Sales data and analytics — know what's working

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions? We've got answers.

Yes. We integrate both PayPal and Stripe — the two most widely used and trusted payment gateways available to Dominican businesses. PayPal is especially popular for local buyers, while Stripe handles credit and debit card processing with strong international coverage. We can implement one or both depending on your customer base. Both gateways support the Dominican peso (DOP) and USD transactions.

Yes. Every e-commerce integration includes Sanity CMS product management — you can add new products, update descriptions and prices, change images, and adjust stock levels from a clean dashboard without touching code. No Shopify subscription, no platform lock-in, no monthly fees beyond our optional maintenance plan.

Yes. Every successful order triggers two automatic emails: a professional branded receipt to your customer, and an instant order notification to you. Both are set up during integration and work without any manual action on your part — no WhatsApp messages, no manual invoices.

We build custom e-commerce on Next.js with Sanity CMS for product management — not Shopify or WooCommerce. This means your store is faster (under 2 second load times), fully custom-designed to match your brand, SEO-optimized at the product level, and you own the codebase with no monthly platform fees. Payment processing is handled by Stripe and/or PayPal. We've used this exact stack for a Punta Cana scuba diving business that saw 200% increase in booking conversions after launch.

Yes — e-commerce integration is available as a $900 add-on to any existing website built on Next.js and Sanity CMS. If your current site is on a different platform (WordPress, Wix, etc.), we'd recommend a migration first to get the performance and SEO benefits of the modern stack before adding the store. We can scope both together for a combined quote.

Yes — mobile-first is our default for every project. Product pages, the shopping cart, and the full checkout flow are designed and tested on smartphones before desktop. In the Dominican Republic, the majority of online shoppers browse and purchase on mobile devices, so a checkout that isn't optimized for mobile is leaving significant revenue on the table.
