Choosing
Which platform should you choose?
Shopify suits you if you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. You add features through apps, so check their recurring subscription charges as part of your decision. Deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan. It is the simplest option to run when its checkout and app choices fit the way you sell.
WooCommerce fits a team already using WordPress, especially when the store sits alongside a substantial amount of content. You have control over code, data and hosting, but someone needs to look after hosting, updates, security and compatibility between plugins. Make sure you have a plan for that work before choosing it.
A headless storefront, such as Next.js connected to a commerce back end, suits an unusual catalogue, a product configurator or a brand with substantial content. It takes more build effort, and most later changes need a developer. We recommend a platform after learning about your products and operations, so the choice reflects the work your team will do in the store.
Market
What shoppers in Canada expect from your store
Payment choices need to fit your customers and your business. Interac Debit is used for debit-card payments, while Interac e-Transfer lets people send and receive money. We assess the methods your chosen gateway supports, alongside the currencies you sell in, settlement timing, refunds and disputes, before setting up the payment options for your store.
For Quebec, commercial website publications must be in French. We plan the French content and its place in the storefront alongside your product and policy pages. A retailer adding online sales also needs stock connected to its shop’s till and an option such as click and collect; we account for those requirements when planning the store.
Rules
What a Canadian store build needs to handle
The GST or HST rate charged depends on the place of supply, such as the province or territory where goods are delivered. That affects the checkout configuration. We set up tax rules and shipping rates around your decisions, so the delivery location is reflected in the order.
Commercial electronic messages require consent, sender identification with a current mailing address, and an unsubscribe mechanism. We connect your email tool and set up the sign-up and unsubscribe flow around those requirements, with the sender details included in your messages.
How it runs
How an e-commerce project runs with us
We work remotely from India using video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is ahead of Canadian time zones, with the gap varying by region and season. The shared board gives you a place to leave feedback and see what needs your input between calls.
- 01
Discover and design
We learn about your business, customers and goals, then agree the scope with you. We prepare desktop and mobile page designs for your feedback before coding starts. During the build, we test on real devices and browsers and use a CMS your team can edit where that fits the project.
- 02
Check a catalogue sample
We import a small selection first. You check the titles, variants, prices and images before the full catalogue goes in. Correcting the format at this stage saves you from having to fix the same issue across the full import.
- 03
Test orders
You place test orders across the payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases. Check the stock levels, order emails and how each order appears in the admin, so the people who will run the store know what to expect.
- 04
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, then provide ongoing support. Keep the details of the tools and accounts used for launch available to the people who will manage the store.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather the following materials and decisions for your store.
- Product photosKeep the original high-resolution files, with consistent backgrounds and aspect ratios, several angles and an image for each colour variant.
- PoliciesPrepare plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms pages. Payment providers may review them when approving your account.
- Gateway documentsGather business registration, bank details and identity documents. Apply early, in your business’s name; the provider decides on approval.
- Tax and delivery decisionsCheck product taxes and tax-inclusive pricing with your accountant. Decide your couriers, delivery areas, charges and cash-on-delivery policy.
- Account accessHave domain, DNS, current website, email, analytics and Google logins available in your business’s name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timing of your store build
The scope determines the work involved. These are useful points to settle when comparing proposals.
Design approach
Adapting an existing theme takes less work than a custom design shaped around unusual products or a distinct brand.
Catalogue complexity
Product counts, bundles and kits, engraving options and goods sold by weight or length all affect how much needs to be configured.
Connections
An order export to accounting is smaller work than synchronising stock and prices in both directions with an ERP or several marketplaces.
Checkout and markets
Wholesale price tiers, delivery date pickers and customer-specific catalogues add rules to build and test. Each extra market also brings its own currency, language and tax setup.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid when building your store
Leaving delivery charges and taxes until the last checkout step
Show estimates on product or cart pages, so shoppers can see likely costs before they reach payment.
Sending order emails without domain authentication
Set up SPF or DKIM. Without authentication, order messages can land in spam.
Loading oversized images and every tracking script on product pages
Compress images and load third-party scripts only where they are needed.
Testing payments only in a sandbox
Place a real low-value order using live payment settings, then refund it. Check the currency, order email and payment connection.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Canada
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to develop an e-commerce website?
There is no fixed price: the scope depends on your products and how your store needs to work. Catalogue import and stock management are part of that work, while made-to-order products may need file uploads, previews or pricing rules. We agree the scope with you before sending a quote.
What is included in an e-commerce store build?
A store build covers the catalogue, cart and checkout, payment and shipping settings, order emails, customer accounts, policy pages and the admin your team uses. Catalogue planning also decides which attributes become filters and which choices, such as size or pack, need their own price, SKU, stock and image.
Can you move my existing store to a new platform?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. The migration scope may also include reviews, gift cards and URL redirects. Customer passwords usually cannot move between platforms, so plan a reset email for existing customers as part of the move.
Will I own my store after launch?
Yes. You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in to the team that built the store. That gives you control of those assets if you decide to change who works on the site later. Keep your account details accessible to the people responsible for the store.
What should we do after the store launches?
Keep checking the checkout and measuring how the store performs. 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. Compare conversion rate, checkout drop-off and product-page speed with your figures from before launch or migration.
How do you choose and test a payment gateway?
We choose a gateway that fits your country and platform; supported options include Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal and local gateways. We then test paid, failed, cancelled and refunded orders. For each case, check that the order record, stock level and customer email update as expected.
