Who can build an online store with Stripe and PayPal?
Marwan Ayman builds e-commerce either as a custom Next.js storefront or as a Shopify theme written from scratch in Liquid, with Stripe, PayPal or PayTabs checkout, inventory and order management. Custom builds suit brands that need product customisation, business-to-business pricing, or multi-currency checkout for Middle East markets that standard platforms handle badly.

In more detail
The platform decision comes before the design decision. If you sell standard products from a catalogue, Shopify launches faster and the monthly fee is cheaper than the engineering it replaces. If your checkout has rules, a custom build costs more up front and less every month afterwards.
Payment provider choice is regional rather than technical. Stripe is the default for Europe, the United Kingdom and the United States. PayTabs and local gateways matter in Egypt and the Gulf, where card acceptance rates and settlement currencies differ enough to change conversion.
The Tee Spot demonstrates the custom case: product customisation that a standard variant model does not express, which is exactly the point where a template store stops being cheaper.
