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, although their subscriptions add recurring costs. Deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan, so check your checkout requirements before choosing it.
WooCommerce is a fit if your team already works in WordPress, your store sits alongside a lot of content, or you want control over code, data and hosting. That control brings work with it: someone needs to manage hosting, security, updates and compatibility between plugins.
A headless storefront, such as Next.js connected to a commerce back end, suits 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 learning how your products and operations work, so the choice reflects what your team needs to manage as well as what customers see.
Local
What New York City's businesses need from an online store
Retail is part of the city's economy. If you run a physical shop and want to sell online too, stock sync with your till system helps you manage availability across both, while click and collect gives customers a way to pick up their orders.
The city's fashion industry includes businesses whose products may be made to order. For items with choices beyond size or colour, a store needs a way to handle requests such as file uploads or previews, along with the price rules attached to each choice.
Tourism is also a major part of the city's economy. For a brand selling to visitors through social media or messaging, a catalogue, online payment and order tracking give customers a way to order without having to arrange each purchase in a chat.
Rules
What a United States store needs to handle
State sales tax affects checkout settings: some states have no statewide sales tax, while others levy one. We configure the store's tax settings for the products and destinations you specify.
For commercial email, a valid physical postal address and a clear opt-out are required. We connect your email tools so those details can be included and opt-out requests handled. For checkout, Stripe supports US business sign-ups; we select and configure a gateway that fits your platform and country.
How it runs
How an ecommerce development project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. IST is 10h30m ahead of Eastern time in winter and 1 hour less during daylight saving time. Shared boards give you and us a place to keep decisions and feedback visible across that difference.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You help us agree what the store needs to include before the scope is set.
- 02
Design
We prepare desktop and mobile page designs. You review them and give feedback before development begins.
- 03
Import
We put in a small product sample first. You check titles, variants, prices and images before the full catalogue goes in, so corrections happen in the template.
- 04
Test
You place test orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases, then check the stock, emails and order records in the admin.
- 05
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, then provide ongoing support after the store goes live.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather the details your store and payment setup will need.
- Product spreadsheetInclude names, descriptions, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes.
- Product photosKeep originals, with consistent backgrounds and an image for each colour variant.
- Payment documentsHave your business registration, bank details and identity documents ready for the gateway provider.
- Account accessKeep domain, store, email, analytics and Google logins in your business's name.
- Tax and delivery decisionsCheck product taxes with your accountant and decide where and how you will deliver.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline of ecommerce development
The work changes with the detail in your catalogue and the systems your store needs to use.
Catalogue
Products with many variants, engraving, bundles or sales by weight need more setup than a straightforward catalogue.
Design
Adapting an existing theme is smaller work than designing around unusual products or a distinct brand.
Integrations
An order export to accounting is smaller than keeping stock and prices in sync with an ERP or several marketplaces.
Migration
Moving products alone has a different scope from moving customers, order history, reviews and gift cards as well. Customer passwords usually need a reset.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with ecommerce development
Losing old page addresses
Map each old product and category URL to the closest new page, including when a product is dropped, and use permanent server-side redirects.
Sending unauthenticated email
Set up SPF or DKIM for your sending domain to reduce the risk of order emails landing in spam.
Adding a plugin for every feature
Review what each app does and remove those you no longer use to limit scripts, admin clutter and potential conflicts.
Overloading product pages
Compress images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where they are needed.
Questions
Asked by businesses in New York City
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an ecommerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. The scope changes with custom checkout or pricing rules, and with how much of an existing store you want to migrate. Products, customers and order history can be moved where the platforms allow it. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Should I sell through a marketplace or my own store?
You can use both. A marketplace brings ready traffic, but it sets the rules and keeps the customer relationship. Your own store keeps customer data and margin, while leaving you responsible for attracting visitors. If you use both, syncing stock helps keep availability aligned.
What is included in a store build?
The build covers the catalogue, cart, checkout, payment and shipping settings, customer accounts, policy pages and the admin your team uses. Transactional emails also need attention: confirmations, dispatch messages with tracking links, refunds, abandoned carts and password resets should use your branding and wording that matches your policies.
Will I own the store after it is built?
You own your domain, content and code. That means you are not locked to the team that built the store. Keep control of those assets when planning the project, so your business can decide who looks after the store and its contents after launch.
What should we check after launch?
Track conversion, average order value, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed against your figures from before launch or migration. Retest checkout after an app, plugin or theme change. Give each staff member a separate login with only the permissions they need.
Who will I talk to during the work?
You talk directly to the people designing and building your store. That gives you a direct route for discussing decisions and checks before launch. One useful check is a real low-value order on live payment settings followed by a refund, to catch problems that sandbox testing can miss.
