What do ecommerce scaling services include for an Oakland brand?
+
A faster store, better product and collection pages, subscriptions or bundles, email and SMS automation, wholesale channels and clean analytics. Together these raise conversion rate, order value and repeat purchases, so growth comes from more than just higher ad spend.
Can Shopify connect our retail shop and online store?
+
Yes. Shopify POS keeps inventory, customers and sales reports in one system across your Oakland shop, pop up events and website. Customers can buy online and pick up in store, and staff can order out of stock items for delivery from the counter.
How do you keep a Shopify store fast?
+
We build custom themes with clean code, compress images, limit apps to what is truly needed and remove leftover scripts from old apps. Speed matters for conversion and search, and many slow stores are slow because of apps installed years ago and never removed.
How much does a Shopify store cost for an Oakland brand?
+
It depends on catalog size, custom features, POS, wholesale and subscriptions. We quote after a scoping call with a fixed scope and timeline in writing. Senior Shopify developers in Mumbai cost far less than Bay Area studios, and the work meets Shopify Partner standards.
Can you migrate our store to Shopify?
+
Yes. We move products, variants, customers and order history from WooCommerce, Squarespace, BigCommerce or Etsy, rebuild the catalog and redirect old URLs so rankings carry over. Migrations are planned so you keep selling throughout, with a final data sync on launch day.
Do you run marketing for the store as well?
+
Yes. Many Oakland brands keep us on for Meta and TikTok ads, UGC, email and SEO after launch, so the team that built the store also drives traffic to it. Reporting covers contribution margin, not just revenue.
Where is Baclinc based, and does that matter for Oakland clients?
+
Baclinc is headquartered in Mumbai, India, and we work with clients across the United States and worldwide. It matters in your favor. You get a senior in-house team at a price no comparable US agency can offer, working while you sleep, with a fixed daily overlap window for live calls. Digital work has not required a shared zip code for a decade. What it requires is people who are genuinely excellent at it.
How do you handle the time difference with Oakland?
+
It is an advantage, not a problem. We run about half a day ahead of US time, so work you brief at the end of your day is finished when you start the next one. You effectively get an extra working day every night. We hold a fixed daily overlap window for calls, and we are reachable on Slack, email or WhatsApp through your working day.
How much does it cost to work with Baclinc from the US?
+
Engagements start at $2,000 per month, and most sit meaningfully above that depending on scope and speed. That buys you senior specialists and a standard of work that US agencies charge several times more for. We are not the cheapest option and we are not trying to be. We are the best value at this level of quality anywhere in the world.
Do you work with US companies already?
+
Yes. We work with brands across the United States and internationally, and we have run US ecommerce accounts including a dropshipping store that did $10,000+ in sales in 20 days at 5.5x ROAS on TikTok Ads. Our team works to a global standard because our clients compete globally.
Who actually does the work?
+
Senior in-house specialists. 25+ people across SEO, engineering, content, paid media and creative, all employed by us, all in one office. The people who win the pitch are the people who run your account. We do not outsource, we do not hand you to a junior queue, and we do not staff accounts with whoever is free.
How do communication and reporting work?
+
You get a named senior lead, a shared channel on Slack or your tool of choice, live dashboards you can open at any time, a weekly written read on what changed and what we are testing, and a monthly review against the targets we agreed. Everything is in English, everything is documented, and nothing depends on you chasing us.
Who owns the work and the accounts?
+
You do, completely. Your ad accounts, your analytics, your website, your content and your creative assets stay in your ownership throughout and after the engagement. We work inside your accounts, not behind a wall. There is no lock-in, no proprietary platform you have to keep paying for, and no hostage situation if you leave.
How do contracts and payment work for US clients?
+
Straightforward monthly agreements, invoiced in USD, paid by international bank transfer or card. No long lock-ins. We work on rolling terms because we would rather keep clients on results than on contracts. Confidentiality agreements are standard and we sign yours.
