Hello world!

Read More →OpenMalo builds high-performing online stores for Australian businesses — from WooCommerce and Shopify implementations to fully custom headless eCommerce platforms. Our Melbourne and Sydney eCommerce developers have launched 170+ online stores across retail, wholesale, B2B, and D2C, combining conversion-optimised UX with the integrations Australian online retailers need: Afterpay, Zip, Australia Post, Shippit, and Xero.
We recommend Shopify for most B2C retail stores (fastest to launch, easiest to manage), WooCommerce for businesses already on WordPress needing a tightly integrated store, and custom headless eCommerce for high-volume or complex B2B scenarios requiring pricing rules, ERP integration, or custom checkout flows that Shopify and WooCommerce can't accommodate.
We integrate Stripe, Braintree, eWay, Afterpay, Zip, Latitude Pay, PayPal, and Apple Pay / Google Pay. Afterpay integration is standard on all Australian eCommerce projects — it typically increases average order value by 20–30% for eligible product categories.
We integrate with Australia Post (eParcel, StarTrack), Sendle, Shippit, and Shipbob — including real-time rate calculations at checkout, automated label generation, tracking number pushback to customers, and same-day dispatch workflow integration with your 3PL or warehouse system.
Xero and MYOB integrations sync orders, payments, and refunds in real time — creating sales invoices, allocating GST, and reconciling payments automatically. This eliminates manual data entry between your store and accounting software and ensures accurate BAS reporting for your accountant.
Product pages include structured data markup (Product, Offer, AggregateRating), optimised title and meta templates, canonical URL handling for filtered pages, XML sitemap including products, and Google Merchant Centre feed export for Shopping ads. Collection and category pages are built with SEO-optimised architecture.
No card data is stored on our servers — all payment processing uses tokenised integrations (Stripe Elements, Braintree Hosted Fields). PCI DSS compliance is achieved via the hosted payment provider. SSL, HTTPS enforcement, CSP headers, and automated vulnerability scanning protect customer data throughout the shopping experience.
Yes — multi-currency display and checkout (AUD, USD, GBP, NZD), international shipping rate calculation, localised tax handling (including GST for AU and NZ customers), and international payment methods are all configurable. Geo-based currency detection shows the appropriate currency automatically based on the visitor's location.
Mobile-first design is standard — Australian online shopping is over 65% mobile. We build touch-optimised product galleries, one-tap checkout flows, persistent cart across sessions, and progressive image loading for fast mobile page speeds. Checkout is optimised to minimise form fields on mobile without reducing the data captured.
OpenMalo Technologies has launched more than 170 online stores for Australian retailers, wholesalers, and direct-to-consumer brands over 13 years. Our Melbourne and Sydney eCommerce team understands the specific requirements of the Australian market — Afterpay and Zip integration, Australia Post and Shippit fulfilment, Xero and MYOB accounting sync, and GST-compliant checkout flows. We build stores that convert visitors into customers and integrate seamlessly with your existing business systems.
eCommerce projects are delivered on a fixed-price milestone basis, including UX design, platform setup or custom build, all required integrations, product catalogue migration (for relaunches), staff training, and 30 days of post-launch support. Ongoing eCommerce development, CRO testing, and platform management are available from AUD $1,500/month.
