# Fix AI-Generated Ecommerce Integration Code

Vibe-coded and AI-generated ecommerce integrations fail in production. Fontis audits and fixes ChatGPT, Copilot, and Cursor-built integrations for Australian retailers. Book a discovery call.

AI Code Remediation

## Your AI-Built Integration Is Breaking Things. We Fix It.
ChatGPT wrote it. Cursor shipped it. GitHub Copilot suggested the rest. AI tools generate ecommerce integration code fast. Code that passes every test in staging and fails the moment real orders hit production. Fontis audits, hardens, and fixes AI-generated ecommerce integrations for Australian retailers. 20+ years. Independent. Vendor-agnostic.

      Sound Familiar?The moment you realise the AI code isn't production-ready.

        Worked fine in staging. Failed on your first big trading day.
        The integration looked solid in testing. Then real order volumes hit, concurrent requests stacked up, and it started dropping transactions. AI writes code that satisfies a use case. It can't account for your real concurrency, your order volumes, or the edge cases that only appear at scale.

        Inventory stopped syncing after a routine API update.
        Your ERP vendor shipped an update. Your payment gateway changed its authentication flow. The AI-built connector had no error handling for version changes. It just silently stopped working.

        Orders were being lost for days before anyone noticed.
        No alerts. No error logs your team could read. Just a gap in fulfilment that customers noticed before you did. AI-generated integrations rarely include the monitoring and alerting that production systems require.

        The developer who built it has moved on. No documentation. No tests.
        The integration runs. Nobody on your team understands it well enough to change it safely. Any modification risks breaking something else, and there's no test coverage to tell you what that something is.

The Problem

## Why AI-generated Code Fails

    ### No awareness of your systems

AI tools generate code against generic API documentation. They don't know that your ERP batches inventory updates every 15 minutes, or that your WMS confirms picks asynchronously, or that your POS expects real-time stock data. Integrations built without this context create data mismatches and sync failures across your operations, on Shopify, Adobe Commerce, BigCommerce, and every platform in between.

    ### No handling of real-world load

Code that runs cleanly at low volume often breaks under peak trading conditions: concurrent orders, rapid inventory changes, API rate limits. AI tools optimise for the expected case. Your busiest trading days are almost entirely edge cases, and vibe-coded integrations were never tested against them.

    ### No production-grade error recovery

When a payment authorisation succeeds but a downstream system fails, the integration needs to know how to reverse, retry, or escalate without creating orphaned transactions or double charges. AI-generated code rarely accounts for the full range of failure states your integration layer will encounter in production.

    ### No ongoing compatibility

Your ERP vendor ships an API update. Your payment gateway changes its authentication flow. A shipping provider deprecates an endpoint. AI-generated integrations are built against a snapshot. They don't adapt when the systems around them change, and they often break silently.

    Multiple independent research programmes have measured the quality difference between AI-generated code and human-written code in production environments. The findings are consistent.

The Solution

## Fontis closes the gaps AI tools leave behind

    ### Integration architecture review

We map how your systems actually communicate - your ERP, WMS, POS, CDP, payment gateway, and ecommerce platform - and test your AI-generated integration code against that reality. Where the code assumes conditions that don't match your production environment, we flag it and scope the fix.

    ### Production hardening

We stress-test integration logic against peak trading conditions, concurrent transaction loads, and the async behaviours your systems actually exhibit. Code that needs to survive Black Friday gets engineered for Black Friday, not for a quiet Tuesday.

    ### Security and data integrity

We audit AI-generated code for authentication gaps, input validation failures, and data handling practices that could expose customer information or create compliance risk. Where your integration layer moves customer data between systems, we verify it's doing so safely and accurately.

    ### Documentation and maintainability

AI-generated code that nobody on your team understands is a liability. We document integration logic, add test coverage, and structure the codebase so that it can be maintained and extended without guesswork.

                    How It Works

                Start with a conversation. Understand the risks. Then decide.

                Fontis works with ecommerce brands to audit, remediate, and maintain the integration infrastructure that AI tools are now generating code for.

                    Before You Decide

                Common Concerns About AI Integration Risk

            Straight answers to the questions ecommerce teams ask when they&#39;re weighing whether to act on AI-generated integration risk.

    We can fix it ourselves. The developer who built it is still available.

        The developer who vibe-coded the integration with AI tools may not have the integration engineering experience to identify what production-grade systems require. AI-generated code looks plausible; the failure modes are subtle. A fresh perspective from engineers who have seen these patterns across hundreds of production environments finds things the original developer won't be looking for.

    It&#39;s mostly working. We&#39;ll clean it up when we have time.

        Integrations that are "mostly working" tend to fail at the worst possible moment - during a peak trading event, after an upstream API update, or when order volume crosses a threshold the code was never tested against. The longer AI-generated code runs unreviewed in production, the more dependent your operations become on it. Cleaning it up gets harder, not easier, over time.

    We don&#39;t have budget for a full engagement right now.

        The discovery call is free, and the audit is a fixed-scope deliverable with a known cost before you commit to anything. If the audit finds no significant issues, that's a valuable result as you have documented confirmation that the integration meets production standards. If it finds risks, the report gives you a prioritised roadmap so you can address the highest-severity items first, within your budget constraints.

    We&#39;ll just rebuild the whole integration from scratch.

        A full rebuild takes time, carries its own risk, and may not be necessary. In most cases, AI-generated integrations have specific, identifiable failure points rather than wholesale structural problems. An audit tells you exactly what needs to change, and often the scope is far smaller than you expect. A targeted fix is faster, cheaper, and less risky than rebuilding systems that are currently running.
