Choosing
Should you choose Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom store?
Shopify is the simplest option to run when you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. Features are added through apps, though those apps can bring recurring subscriptions, and deeper checkout changes are limited to Shopify Plus. WooCommerce suits a team already using WordPress. The choice affects what your team manages and where the platform sets limits on changes.
A custom or headless storefront, such as Next.js on a commerce back end, fits an unusual catalogue, a product configurator or a content-led brand. It takes more build effort, and most later changes need a developer. A simpler platform gives your team less custom work to manage, while a custom build gives you more scope to shape the storefront around your operations. We recommend an option after learning about your products and how you fulfil orders; the platform should fit the work your team does every day.
Local
What Alaska businesses need from an online store
Seafood businesses selling salmon, cod, pollock or crab need delivery rules customers can understand before ordering. We configure shipping zones, rates and conditions, including restrictions for products that cannot be sent to particular areas.
For farms in the Matanuska Valley or on the Kenai Peninsula that sell online, a useful catalogue groups products into collections and makes choices clear. We organise variants so each choice has its own price, stock, SKU and image.
A tourism business selling products online can move orders out of messaging apps into a catalogue with online payment and order tracking. As the store grows, reviews, email flows and subscriptions are features to consider alongside the product pages.
Rules
What a United States store needs to handle
Alaska has no statewide sales tax. You still need to decide with your accountant which tax rules apply to your products and sales; we configure the store’s tax settings around those decisions, along with the checkout and policy pages.
Commercial emails need a valid physical postal address and a clear way to opt out. We set up the store’s email connection with those details in mind, so your marketing emails have a place for the address and an opt-out route that your team can manage.
How it runs
How an ecommerce project runs with us
We work remotely from India, using video calls, WhatsApp and a shared project board. India is 14h30m ahead of Alaska, or 13h30m ahead in summer. The shared board gives both sides a place to leave feedback and track work across that time difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, audience and goals, then agree the scope with you. Bring the operational details your store needs to reflect.
- 02
Design
We prepare product, collection and checkout designs for desktop and mobile. You review them and give feedback before coding starts.
- 03
Check the catalogue
We import a small sample first. You check titles, variants, prices and images before we bring in the full catalogue.
- 04
Test checkout
We test paid, failed, cancelled and refunded orders, checking the order record, stock and customer email in each case.
- 05
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, then provide ongoing support after launch.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
These details help us understand the store your team needs to run.
- Product spreadsheetInclude names, descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes.
- PhotosKeep original files, with consistent backgrounds and an image for each colour variant.
- Payment documentsGather registration, bank and identity details for a gateway account in your business’s name.
- Business decisionsCheck applicable taxes with your accountant and decide delivery areas, couriers and charges.
- Account accessLocate logins for your domain, current site, email, analytics and Google accounts.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline?
The work depends on the catalogue, rules and connections your store needs.
Catalogue complexity
Products with variants, bundles or custom options need more structure than a straightforward catalogue.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is quicker to import than information scattered across an old store, supplier PDFs and chat threads.
Integrations
An order export to accounting takes less work than stock and price synchronisation with an ERP or marketplaces.
Checkout and pricing rules
Delivery date pickers, wholesale tiers and customer-specific catalogues add decisions and build work.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid when building your store
Testing only in sandbox mode
Place a real low-value order using live payment settings, then refund it to check the order emails and payment configuration.
Adding an app for every feature
Review what each app or plugin does and remove those you no longer use; each can add scripts, clutter or conflicts.
Showing delivery charges too late
Put estimates on product or cart pages so shoppers see likely costs before the final checkout step.
Overloading product pages
Compress images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where they are needed.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Alaska
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an ecommerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. The work changes with features such as file uploads or price rules for made-to-order products, and with the currencies, translated content and shipping choices needed for additional markets. We agree the scope with you before preparing a quote.
Which payment gateway should I use?
Choose a gateway that supports your business registration, selling currencies and preferred payment methods. We support Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay and local gateways where the country and platform allow them. Compare settlement timing and how each provider handles refunds and disputes before making the choice.
Can you move my existing store?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. The scope also needs to account for items such as reviews, gift cards and URL redirects. Customer passwords usually cannot move between platforms, so plan a reset email for existing customers.
What order emails will the store need?
The store needs messages for order confirmation, dispatch, refunds, abandoned carts and password resets. Each should use your branding, a sender on your own domain and wording that matches your policies. Set up SPF or DKIM authentication on the sending domain to reduce the chance of messages landing in spam.
Will I own the store after it is built?
Yes. You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in to the team that built the store. An own store also gives you the customer data and margin, while you remain responsible for attracting visitors. Some brands run an own store alongside marketplaces and synchronise stock.
What should we monitor after launch?
Track conversion rate, average order value, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed against your figures from before launch or migration. Retest the full checkout after an app, plugin or theme change. Give each staff member a separate login with only the permissions they need.
