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
