Choosing
Which ecommerce platform should you choose?
Shopify suits you if you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. You can add features through apps, but review their recurring subscriptions when planning how you will run the store. Deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan, so check your requirements before choosing it.
WooCommerce is a useful option if your team already works in WordPress, particularly when the store sits alongside a substantial amount of content. You get control over code, data and hosting. That control comes with work: someone needs to maintain the hosting, updates, security and compatibility between plugins.
A custom storefront is worth considering when your catalogue or checkout has unusual requirements that do not fit the simpler options. It gives you a different route for those requirements, so the decision starts with how your products and operations work. We recommend a platform after understanding both, and discuss the trade-offs with you before settling on the build.
Local
What Boston organisations need from an online store
Boston’s economy includes finance and professional and business services. If you sell to organisations in those fields, your store may need a business-to-business ordering route with customer-specific prices, minimum quantities, quote requests or ordering on account. The admin also needs to give your team a clear way to handle those orders alongside the catalogue and checkout.
Boston also attracts college students from around the world. If you sell products to that audience, think about the choices shoppers need to make on a product page and the content they need before ordering. A growing direct-to-consumer brand might need reviews and email flows; a made-to-order seller might need uploads, previews or rules for pricing custom choices.
Rules
What a US ecommerce store has to handle
Statewide sales tax applies in some US states and not others. We set up checkout tax rules around where you sell and the requirements for your business, alongside your payment and shipping settings. Decide which markets the store will serve before those settings are configured.
Commercial email needs a valid physical postal address and a clear opt-out, with opt-out requests honoured. When we connect your email tools, we set up the address and unsubscribe route in the commercial messages you send, so those requirements are accounted for in the build.
How it runs
How an ecommerce project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 10h30m ahead of Eastern time in winter, and 1 hour less during daylight saving time. The shared board keeps tasks and decisions visible between conversations, so you can review work without every exchange needing a live call.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals, then agree the store’s scope with you. Bring the questions and operational needs that will affect what your team has to manage.
- 02
Design
We prepare product, collection and checkout page designs for desktop and mobile. You review them and give feedback while changes are still being made to designs, before code is written.
- 03
Test checkout
We check paid, failed, cancelled and refunded orders. For each outcome, we check the order record, stock level and customer email so the store’s response matches the transaction.
- 04
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, followed by ongoing support. You can use the launch setup to see how the store is being reached and used.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring what you have available so we can discuss the store’s requirements with you.
- Product spreadsheetInclude names, descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes. Missing weights or sizes can produce incorrect delivery charges.
- Product photosKeep the original files, use a consistent background and aspect ratio, and include an image for each colour variant.
- Store policiesPrepare plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms policies for shoppers and payment providers.
- Gateway documentsHave your business registration, bank details and identity documents ready; open the payment account in your business’s name.
- Account accessGather logins for your domain, DNS, current site, email, analytics and Google accounts, held in your business’s name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline of ecommerce development
The work grows with the decisions, data and connections the store needs.
Catalogue complexity
Variants, engraving, bundles and products sold by weight or length need more detailed product setup.
Design approach
Adapting an existing theme involves less work than a custom design for unusual products or a distinct brand.
Integrations
An accounting order export is a smaller task than syncing stock and prices in both directions with an ERP or marketplaces.
Migration
Moving customer records, order history, reviews and redirects adds scope beyond moving products. Existing customers usually need a password reset.
Checkout and markets
Wholesale prices, gift messages or delivery date selection add rules, as do markets with different currencies, languages and tax settings.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with ecommerce development
Leaving old URLs behind
When changing platforms, map old product and category URLs to their closest new pages with server-side permanent redirects, including URLs for discontinued products.
Testing only in a sandbox
Place a real low-value order using live payment settings and refund it. Check the currency, order emails and webhooks as well as the payment.
Hiding delivery charges until checkout
Show delivery and tax estimates on product or cart pages, so shoppers can see likely costs before the final step.
Loading every script on product pages
Compress product images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where they are needed.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Boston
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to develop an ecommerce website?
There is no fixed price. A custom storefront takes more build effort, while catalogue preparation and the apps needed for particular features also affect the work. We check a sample of product data before the full import, and review what each app does, including its recurring fees.
Which payment gateway should I use?
The choice depends on where your business is registered, the currencies you sell in and your platform. We support Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay and local gateways where suitable. Compare the payment methods your customers need, then check settlement timing and how each provider handles refunds and disputes.
Can you move my existing store?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. Tell us what you currently use and which records your team needs in the new store, so the migration scope reflects the information you need to continue operating.
What else is included beyond the storefront pages?
The work can include transactional emails and search-ready product pages. Order confirmations, dispatch messages with tracking links, refunds, abandoned carts and password resets need your branding and wording that matches your policies. We also build product pages with structured data so they are eligible for rich search results.
Who owns the store after launch?
You own your domain, content and code. That means your store is not locked to the team that built it, and you can decide who works on it in future. Keep those assets under your business’s control as your store and its requirements change.
What should we check after the store launches?
Measure 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, and give each staff member a separate login with only the permissions they need.
