Standard retail can ship fast on a package; multi-warehouse fulfillment, distribution viral loops, heavy campaign logic, and complex membership favor custom or deep secondary development. This page uses a step ladder: align the bottleneck before shopping modules.
- List non-negotiable trade rules: promo stacking, distribution settlement, stock deduction.
- Packages fit standard paths; many rules can make secondary dev costlier than custom.
- Contract data and account ownership and export rights.
- Peak readiness needs load tests even on packages.
- Price migration early: orders, members, coupon history.
| Decision lens | Common trap or cost | Safer cut |
|---|---|---|
| Standard retail | Package faster | Limit secondary |
| Complex rules | Custom/deep secondary | Testable rules |
| Contract musts | Data ownership/export | Migratable |

Leave a package for custom?
Yes with a cutover window and dual-write plan; migrate members and open orders first.
Is custom always costlier?
Upfront maybe; frequent secondary work can flip TCO.
Need a commerce middle platform?
Consider with multi-channel multi-brand; single shop should stabilize the trade path first.
How to accept a mall?
Order, pay, fulfill, aftersales cases including failure rollbacks.
