FAQs

Q: What makes Dev House Australia the leading e-commerce engineering partner for Australian enterprises?

We combine technical engineering precision with a deep understanding of local Australian market integrations, including domestic payment systems (EFTPOS, POLi, Afterpay) and automated courier connections (Australia Post, StarTrack, Sendle). Our platforms are built by senior developers to satisfy high-throughput performance requirements and ensure strict security compliance from day one.

Q: Do you work with businesses across Australia, New Zealand, and APAC?

We integrate specific workflows to support mandatory ACL consumer guarantees, including automated refund mechanisms, clear dispute-resolution pathways, and transparent pricing structures that support dual GST listings. Our checkout pipelines are engineered to provide customers with instant, itemised tax invoices, securing transactions and ensuring complete regulatory compliance.

Q: Can you integrate custom online stores with enterprise CRM, ERP, and inventory databases?

Yes. We design high-throughput middleware and custom REST/GraphQL APIs that connect storefronts with enterprise databases (such as SAP, Microsoft Dynamics 365, NetSuite, and Salesforce). Our integrations support real-time inventory synchronization, automated warehouse fulfillment triggers, and secure customer record synchronization, eliminating manual entry and operational friction.

Q: How do you secure customer data and transaction systems in compliance with APRA CPS 234 and PCI-DSS?

We enforce strict PCI-DSS compliant payment processing, utilizing secure tokenization to ensure credit card numbers never touch your primary databases. Sensitive customer data is encrypted in transit using TLS 1.3 protocols and at rest with AES-256 keys managed through Azure Key Vault or AWS KMS. Furthermore, we align systems with the ASD Essential Eight cybersecurity controls and APRA CPS 234 rules to protect transaction pipelines from unauthorized access.

Q: What is the benefit of a headless commerce architecture for growing retail brands?

Headless commerce separates the front-end user experience (the storefront) from the backend commerce engines (payment, checkout, cart logic). This decoupling enables developers to deploy fast, conversion-optimized storefronts (using React or Next.js) and make design adjustments instantly without touching critical transaction systems. It also allows your brand to power web, mobile, and IoT interfaces from a single, centralized database framework.

Q: Do you provide support for migrating legacy storefronts like Magento or Shopify Plus to custom platforms?

Yes, we specialise in risk-mitigated migrations from monolithic legacy architectures (Magento/Adobe Commerce, old Shopify templates, WooCommerce) to modern, decoupled systems. Our database engineers execute detailed data-mapping audits, systematically moving product catalogs, customer transaction histories, and security credentials while maintaining continuous SEO indexing and ensuring zero runtime database downtime during cutover.

Q: How do you handle hosting configurations and local data residency for Australian online shops?

We configure highly available hosting architectures deployed directly into the Australian regional data centers (Sydney and Melbourne) of hyper-scalers like AWS, Microsoft Azure, or GCP. This ensures low-latency page rendering for local shoppers, optimizes core web vitals, and guarantees absolute adherence to Australian privacy principles by keeping all sensitive customer data resident on local servers.
