FAQs

What features to include in an eCommerce website?

As eCommerce website developers, we recommend considering the features that will enhance user experience, drive sales, and facilitate smooth transactions. Here are some essential features to include in a bespoke ecommerce website:

  • User-friendly interface
  • Product search and filtering
  • Product catalog
  • Shopping cart
  • Secure payment gateway
  • User reviews and ratings
  • Wishlist and saved items
  • Multiple shipping options

Remember, these are just some of the core features of ecommerce solutions to consider. Depending on your specific business needs, you may want to include additional features such as multi-language support, wish list sharing, loyalty programs, and more.

How long does it take to create an online store?

The time of online store development can vary depending on a number of factors, such as the complexity of the store, the platform you choose, ecommerce web design, mobile app, your level of experience, and the resources you have available: in-house team or outsource agency. Here’s a general timeline to give you an idea.

It takes about 1-2 months to develop an MVP — a minimum viable product. The first version of the online store will include the basic functionalities. It is enough to launch and test the platform with real users. Generally, it takes around 2-6 months to finalize and release the project.

It’s important to note that this timeline can vary significantly based on individual circumstances. If you have limited resources or technical expertise, it may take longer. Conversely, if you have a dedicated team and resources, the process could be expedited.

How much does it cost to create an eCommerce website?

The cost of creating an online store can vary greatly depending on several factors, including the complexity of the store, the features and customization required, the platform or website builder chosen, and the resources available to you. Here are a few key expenses to consider: platform or website builder, domain name, web hosting, design and development, payment processing fees, and custom features.

It’s important to carefully evaluate your business needs and budget to determine how much you are willing to invest in creating and maintaining an online store or ecommerce mobile app. Feel free to contact our team to get a rough estimate for ecommerce website development service.

What platform do you build eCommerce websites on?

Depending on the ecommerce business needs we recommend the CS-Cart shopping cart for ecommerce store development and Multi-Vendor CMS for marketplaces. For highload sites we use Laravel framework and headless development toolkit.

Our business uses a specific ERP and CRM system. Can we integrate with this?

Yes, as an e-commerce website developer, we can connect to your site almost any CRM, payment gateway, shipment services, digital marketing tools and other 3rd-party systems for your specific business needs. The specific steps and processes for integrating systems may vary depending on the platforms and services you are using.
