Choosing
Which platform should you choose?
Shopify suits a store whose team wants hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for them. You can add features through apps, although those apps can bring recurring subscriptions. Deeper changes to checkout are limited to the Shopify Plus plan, so check your checkout requirements before choosing it.
WooCommerce fits a business already using WordPress, particularly when the site has substantial content alongside its products. It gives you control over the code, data and hosting. That control comes with work: someone needs to look after hosting, security, updates and compatibility between plugins.
A custom storefront suits an unusual catalogue or checkout. We recommend a platform after learning how your products and operations work. You can also sell through a marketplace alongside your own store and sync stock: the marketplace brings traffic, while your own store keeps the customer data and margin, with the work of attracting visitors.
Local
What Manama’s businesses need from an online store
Manama has retailers in shopping malls around Seef, as well as workshops and traders in its centre. A trader taking orders through social media or messages may need a catalogue, online payment and order tracking to move orders out of chat. We can also structure products into collections and make size, colour or pack choices into variants with their own stock and images.
Tourism has grown in Manama. A tourism business selling products directly can need faster product pages, reviews or room to sell into new markets as its catalogue grows. We build product pages with structured data for rich search results, alongside the store features agreed for the project.
Rules
What a Bahrain store needs to handle
Bahrain requires vendors to display prices on their online store websites. We put product prices on the store and show delivery charge and tax estimates on product or cart pages, so shoppers can see those costs before the last checkout step.
Bahrain’s standard VAT rate is 10%. The store needs tax settings that reflect the products you sell and how you display prices. We configure those settings in the checkout, using the tax decisions you provide for your business.
How it runs
How an e-commerce project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India time is 2h30m ahead of Bahrain, so the shared board gives you a place to review work and leave feedback across the time difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You explain how orders are handled now, and we agree the store’s scope together.
- 02
Design
We design product, collection and checkout pages for desktop and mobile. You review the screens and give feedback before code is written.
- 03
Import
We load a small product sample first. You check its titles, variants, prices and images; once the format is right, we import the full catalogue.
- 04
Build and launch
We build and test the store on real devices and browsers, then handle domain, email, analytics and search setup. Ongoing support follows launch.
- 05
Test
You place orders across the payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases, then check stock, order emails and the records in the admin.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather the materials and decisions your store will need.
- Product photosKeep high-resolution originals, consistent backgrounds and an image for each colour variant.
- PoliciesPrepare plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms pages.
- Gateway documentsHave your business registration, bank details and identity documents ready; open the account in the business’s name.
- Tax and delivery decisionsCheck applicable taxes with an accountant and choose delivery areas, couriers, charges and any cash-on-delivery option.
- Account accessGather domain, DNS, store, email, analytics and Google logins held in your business’s name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The work involved depends on the state of your catalogue and the decisions built into the store.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is easier to import than information spread across an old store, supplier PDFs and photo threads.
Design
Adapting an existing theme involves less work than a custom design for unusual products or a distinct brand.
Integrations
An order export to accounting is smaller work than two-way stock and price synchronisation with an ERP or marketplaces.
Checkout and markets
Delivery-date pickers, wholesale pricing and extra markets with their own currencies, languages and tax settings add work.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid
Heavy product pages
Compress images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where they are needed.
Sandbox-only payment testing
Place a real low-value order using live payment settings and refund it to check currency, order emails and payment notifications.
Order emails landing in spam
Set up SPF or DKIM authentication for the sending domain. Gmail requires every sender to use at least one.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Manama
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an e-commerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. The scope changes with the platform and any unusual checkout, the integrations you need, and what must move from an existing store. Migration might cover products alone or extend to customers, order history, reviews, gift cards and redirects. We agree the scope before preparing a quote.
How do we choose a payment gateway?
Start with where your business is registered and the currencies you sell in. Compare the available payment methods, settlement timing, refunds and dispute handling. We support Stripe, Razorpay, PayPal and local gateways, with availability depending on the country and platform you use.
Are order emails and payment testing included?
Yes. Store emails cover order confirmation, dispatch, refunds, abandoned carts and password resets, with your branding and wording that matches your policies. We also test paid, failed, cancelled and refunded orders to check that the order record, stock and customer email update correctly.
Can you move our existing store?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. For a platform change, we also map old product and category URLs to their closest new pages and set up permanent redirects, including for products that are no longer sold.
Who owns the store after it is built?
You own your domain, content and code. The store is not locked to the team that built it, so you can take those assets with you if you decide to work with another development team. Ownership covers the store’s domain and content as well as its code.
What should we do after launch?
Retest the full checkout after every app, plugin or theme change, and give staff separate logins with only the permissions they need. Track checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed against your figures from before launch or migration, alongside conversion rate and average order value.
