Choosing
Which ecommerce platform should you choose?
Shopify suits you if you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. Apps add features, though their subscriptions become part of running the store. Deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan, so check your checkout requirements before choosing it.
WooCommerce suits a team already using WordPress, particularly if the store sits alongside a substantial amount of content. It gives you control over code, data and hosting. That control comes with work: someone needs to manage hosting, updates, security and compatibility between plugins.
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, including how your team will manage the store.
Local
What Minneapolis organisations need from an online store
Minneapolis is home to the University of Minnesota’s main campus. A campus organisation selling through social media or messages needs a catalogue customers can browse, online payment and order tracking instead of taking each order by hand in a chat. Those features also give the people managing the store a clearer way to handle orders as they come in.
Minneapolis arts institutions include the Walker Art Center and Guthrie Theater. For an arts organisation with a physical shop that wants to add online sales, the build needs to account for stock in the shop as well as online orders. Stock sync with the till and a click-and-collect option are useful requirements to discuss before choosing the platform.
Rules
What a US store needs to handle
US state-level sales tax rules vary, and some states have no statewide sales tax. Your checkout needs tax settings that reflect where and what you sell. We configure the tax rules alongside payment and shipping settings, using the decisions you provide for your products and delivery areas.
Commercial emails need a valid physical postal address and a clear way to opt out, with opt-out requests honoured. We connect your email tool and set up the relevant email details and unsubscribe process so those requirements are reflected in the messages you send.
How it runs
How an ecommerce project runs with us
Our studio is in India, and we work with you remotely through video calls, WhatsApp and a shared project board. India is ahead of mainland US time, with the gap changing during daylight saving. The shared board gives both sides a place to leave feedback and track work across the time difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You explain how you sell and manage orders, then we agree the scope of the store together.
- 02
Design
We prepare product, collection and checkout page designs for desktop and mobile. You review them and give feedback before we start writing code.
- 03
Test
You place test orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases. Check the stock levels, order emails and the way each order appears in the admin.
- 04
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search for launch. Ongoing support follows, so you have a route back to us after the store is live.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
These materials and decisions help us define the store and its setup.
- Product photosKeep the original high-resolution files, with consistent backgrounds and an image for each colour variant.
- PoliciesPrepare shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms wording in plain language.
- Payment documentsGather business registration, bank and identity details; open the gateway account in your business’s name.
- Tax and delivery decisionsCheck product taxes with your accountant and decide which areas and couriers you will serve.
- Account accessHave your domain, DNS, current site, email, analytics and Google logins in the business’s name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and work involved
The scope determines how much design, data preparation and development the store needs.
Catalogue
More products, variants, bundles or items sold by weight or length need more catalogue setup and checking.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is easier to import than information spread across an old store, supplier documents and photo threads.
Integrations
An order export to accounting is smaller work than stock and price sync with an ERP or several marketplaces.
Migration
Moving customers, order history, reviews and gift cards adds scope beyond moving products. Existing customers usually need a password reset.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid when building a store
Leaving old URLs behind
Map each old product and category URL to its closest new page and set up permanent server-side redirects, including for products you no longer sell.
Showing delivery charges too late
Put delivery and tax estimates on product or cart pages so customers see them before the final checkout step.
Adding an app for every feature
Review what each app or plugin does, remove unused ones and account for scripts, possible conflicts and recurring fees.
Testing only in sandbox mode
Place a real low-value order using live payment settings, then refund it and check the order email and payment configuration.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Minneapolis
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does it cost to develop an ecommerce website?
There is no fixed price. The design approach and the complexity of your products both affect the work: adapting a theme is smaller in scope than custom design, while made-to-order products may need uploads, previews or price rules. Once we agree the scope, you can request a quote.
Which platform should I choose if I sell into several countries?
Choose after setting out what you need in each market. Prices, currencies, tax-inclusive or exclusive display, duties, translated content and shipping options all affect the decision. Some platforms handle these in their core product; others need extensions, so include those requirements in the platform discussion.
What is included beyond the storefront pages?
The build includes the working parts around an order, including store emails and connections to your other tools. We connect accounting, ERP, email and marketplaces where needed. Order confirmation, dispatch, refund, abandoned-cart and password-reset emails need your branding, a sender on your domain and wording that matches your policies.
Can you move my existing store?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. Bring details of your current store to the scope discussion and identify which records you need to retain, so the proposed move can account for what the existing and new platforms support.
Who owns the store after launch?
You own your domain, content and code. That means you are not locked to the team that built the store and can decide who works on it later. Keep control of those assets within your business as you plan who will manage the store after launch.
What should we check after the store launches?
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.
