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, though their subscriptions add recurring costs. There is a trade-off in checkout flexibility too: deeper changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan. Consider those ongoing costs alongside the initial build.
WooCommerce suits a business already using WordPress, especially one with substantial content alongside its products. You retain control of the code, data and hosting, but someone needs to look after hosting, updates, security and plugin compatibility. That ongoing responsibility should be part of your platform decision, even if you plan to hand it to a developer.
A custom or headless storefront, such as Next.js connected to a commerce back end, fits unusual catalogues, product configurators and content-led brands. It takes more build effort, and most later changes need a developer. We recommend a platform after understanding your products and operations, so the choice reflects how your team will use the store.
Local
What Massachusetts organisations need from an online store
Massachusetts has biotechnology and engineering businesses. A supplier selling to other organisations may need customer-specific prices, minimum order quantities, quote requests and ordering on account. Those requirements belong in the scope before a storefront design is chosen, because they shape how customers see products and place orders.
The state also has higher education institutions. An institution with products to sell needs a catalogue organised into useful collections, with filters and variants that reflect the choices a buyer actually makes. Each variant can carry its own SKU, stock, price and image, making the catalogue easier to manage.
Greater Boston has a research economy. For a retailer with a physical shop in that area, online orders need to connect with shop stock, and click and collect can give customers another way to receive their purchases.
Rules
What a US ecommerce project needs to handle
Stripe lists the United States as a country where businesses can sign up to accept payments. We set up a supported gateway for your store and configure its payment settings; the available gateway also depends on your platform. The gateway account should be part of your project planning, alongside the products and delivery options you intend to offer.
For commercial email, the CAN-SPAM Act requires a valid physical postal address and a clear opt-out, with requests honoured within the required period. If you use email marketing, we connect your email service and set up those details in the messages and opt-out flow.
How it runs
How an ecommerce project runs with us
Based in India, we at MSH Technologies work remotely with you over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India time is 10h30m ahead of Eastern time in winter, and 1 hour less during daylight saving time. The shared board keeps decisions and work visible across that gap.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You help us identify what the store needs, and we agree the scope together before design begins.
- 02
Design
We design product, collection and checkout pages for desktop and mobile. You review the screens and give feedback while changes can still be made before code is written.
- 03
Import
We put in a small product sample first. You check titles, variants, prices and images; once the format is right, we import the full catalogue.
- 04
Test
You place orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases. Check the stock levels, customer emails and order records in the admin before launch.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather these materials and decisions for your store.
- Product photosKeep original files, consistent backgrounds and an image for each colour variant.
- PoliciesPrepare plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms information.
- Gateway documentsGather business registration, bank details and identity documents; open the account in your business’s name.
- Tax and delivery decisionsCheck product taxes with your accountant and decide where and how you will deliver.
- Account accessHave domain, DNS, current site, email, analytics and Google logins in your business’s name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The scope determines how much work the build and its preparation need.
Design approach
Adapting an existing theme takes less work than a custom design for unusual products or a distinct brand.
Migration
Moving customer records, order history, reviews and gift cards adds work beyond moving products. Existing customers usually need a password reset email.
Checkout and pricing rules
Delivery date pickers, gift messages, minimum order values and wholesale price tiers add configuration or development work.
International selling
Each market needs decisions on currency, price display, duties, translations and shipping; some platforms need extensions to handle them.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid before and after launch
Testing 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.
Sending order emails without domain authentication
Set up SPF or DKIM so messages are less likely to land in spam.
Adding a plugin for every small feature
Review what each app or plugin does and remove those you no longer use. Each can add scripts, clutter, conflicts or recurring fees.
Showing delivery charges and taxes only at the end
Show estimates on product or cart pages so shoppers can see likely costs earlier.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Massachusetts
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to develop an ecommerce website?
There is no fixed price. Two major drivers are the size and complexity of your catalogue, and the condition of your product data. Variants, bundles or products sold by weight add work; information spread across supplier PDFs, an old store and photos needs more preparation than a clean spreadsheet.
Can you move our existing store to a new platform?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. Before the move, map old product and category URLs to their closest new pages and set up permanent redirects, including for products you no longer sell. That gives existing links a destination on the new store.
What happens when a payment fails or an order is refunded?
We test paid, failed, cancelled and refunded orders to check that the order record, stock and customer email update correctly. Order emails also need your branding, a sender on your own domain and wording that matches your policies. These include confirmation, dispatch, refund and password reset messages.
Who owns the store after launch?
You own your domain, content and code. Your store is not locked to the team that built it, so you can decide who works on it later. Keep those assets under your ownership as part of the project arrangements, including the content used to present your products.
Do you offer support after launch?
Yes. Our launch and care work includes ongoing support after domain, email, analytics and search setup. Once the store is live, compare conversion rate, average order value, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed with your figures from before launch or migration to decide what needs attention.
How do we choose a payment gateway?
Start with where your business is registered and the currencies you sell in. Compare the payment methods each gateway supports, such as cards, wallets and bank transfers, as well as settlement timing and how refunds and disputes work. The right choice needs to suit both your customers and your operations.
