PRODUCT ENGINEERING

Build an add-on or plugin

Extensions designed to remain updateable, testable and operable — from a focused connector to a standalone product module.

Typical fit

  • WordPress or WooCommerce extension
  • Browser extension or internal add-on
  • CRM/ERP extension
  • API connector or MCP server

What we handle

  • Architecture and stable interfaces
  • Licensing/entitlements where needed
  • Update and migration paths
  • Testing, security and release flow
  • Backend/API components where required

Process

Build an add-on or plugin

  1. 01

    Assess target and host system

  2. 02

    Define interfaces and lifecycle

  3. 03

    Build and test the core function

  4. 04

    Secure release, updates and handover

What we watch closely

  • Host-version dependencies
  • Update compatibility and data migrations
  • Permissions, secrets and API limits
  • Licensing and distribution model

What we need for an assessment

  • Target platform and function
  • Existing system/repository if available
  • External APIs/dependencies
  • Preferred release/distribution path

Frequently asked questions

Can you take over an existing plugin?

Yes. We assess code, dependencies and update path before choosing targeted modernization or a rebuild.

Do you build MCP connectors?

Yes, where MCP is useful for the integration case; conventional APIs remain an option.

Describe the current situation and target

No meeting required. We check whether we can take it on, what information is missing and what a sensible first step looks like.
