our call

Start with SparkLayer — highest vibe code, weakest moat.

SparkLayer

If you only need a quick-order matrix and customer-tagged wholesale discounts on Shopify, an AI coding agent can build a custom solution in weeks. If you rely on real-time sync with Sage, Brightpearl, or Linnworks for 50,000 SKUs and trade account limits, SparkLayer saves months of backend integration pain.

  • Customer tag-based price overrides and tier quantity discounts

  • Sub-100ms distributed price lookup cache engine for massive SKU catalogs
  • Real-time trade account credit limit and Net 30/60 term validation at checkout
