Choosing
Which platform should you choose?
Shopify is a straightforward option when you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. You can add features through apps, but those can bring recurring subscriptions. 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 when the store sits alongside a substantial amount of content. You get control over the code, data and hosting, with responsibility for hosting, updates, security and plugin compatibility. A custom storefront suits unusual catalogues or checkouts that need a different approach.
If you plan to sell into several countries, compare how each platform handles market-specific prices, currencies, duties, translated content and shipping. Some features are built in; others need extensions. We recommend a platform after learning about your products and operations, so you can weigh the ongoing work against the flexibility you need.
Local
What Ontario businesses need from a store
Retailers in the commercial centres of Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area may be adding online sales to an existing shop. Stock needs to stay in step with the till, and click and collect gives customers another way to receive an order.
Manufacturers in the Golden Horseshoe selling configurable products need more than a list of sizes and colours. File uploads, previews and price rules give customers a way to specify what they want before placing an order.
Wholesalers serving Northern Ontario's mining and forestry industries may need customer-specific prices, minimum order quantities and quote requests. Connections to accounting, ERP or marketplace tools help their teams handle orders and stock without copying information between separate systems.
Rules
What a store in Canada has to handle
Tax settings need to reflect where a sale is supplied. Ontario's HST is 13%, while the applicable GST/HST rate depends on the place of supply, such as where goods are delivered. We configure the store's tax rules using the decisions you make with your accountant.
PIPEDA sets federal rules for personal information collected, used and disclosed in commercial activity. That affects the customer details your store collects and the information you give shoppers. We set up a privacy policy page and the customer accounts and checkout fields needed for the store.
How it runs
How an e-commerce project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is ahead of Canada, and Eastern Time moves closer during daylight saving time. Shared boards give you a place to review progress and leave feedback across that difference.

Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather these materials and decisions for your store.
- Product photosKeep the originals, with consistent backgrounds and an image for each colour variant.
- PoliciesPrepare plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms pages.
- Payment account documentsGather registration, bank and identity details, and apply in your business's name.
- Tax and delivery decisionsCheck product taxes with your accountant; choose delivery areas, couriers and charges.
- AccessKeep domain, DNS, existing site, email, analytics and Google account logins in the business's name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline?
The work changes with the store's design, catalogue and connections.
Design
Adapting a theme takes less work than a custom design for unusual products or a distinct brand.
Catalogue structure
Categories, filters and variants need decisions about attributes, prices, stock and images.
Connections
Accounting, ERP, email and marketplace tools each add integration work to the build.
Migration
Moving customers, order history, reviews or gift cards adds work beyond moving products. Existing customers usually need a password reset email.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid
Surprise checkout charges
Show delivery and tax estimates on product or cart pages instead of leaving them until the last step.
Heavy product pages
Compress images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where needed.
Too many plugins
Review what each app does and remove unused ones to reduce clutter, conflicts and recurring fees.
Sandbox-only testing
Place a real low-value order using live payment settings, then refund it to check the payment connection and order emails.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Ontario
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an e-commerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. The main drivers are the size and complexity of your catalogue, how much product data needs cleaning, and the depth of integrations. A two-way stock and price connection takes more work than a one-way order export. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Can you move our existing store?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. Before choosing what to move, check which records your team needs in the new store and which the current and new platforms support. That gives us a clear migration scope to agree with you.
How do we choose a payment gateway?
Start with where your business is registered and the currencies you sell in. Compare payment methods, settlement timing, refunds and disputes as well as platform support. We support Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay and local gateways according to the country and platform, so the choice needs to fit your store's setup.
What happens to customer emails?
The store needs transactional emails for events such as order confirmation, dispatch, refunds and password resets. Each should use your branding, a sender on your own domain and wording that matches your policies. Dispatch emails can include a tracking link so customers know how to follow their order.
Will we own the store after it is built?
You own your domain, content and code, so you are not locked to the team that built the store. Keep the relevant accounts in your business's control and make sure the people managing the store have access to what they need for their work.
What should we check after launch?
Retest the full checkout after an app, plugin or theme change, and give staff separate logins with only the permissions they need. Track conversion rate, checkout drop-off and product-page speed against your figures from before launch or migration, so you have a basis for deciding what to investigate.
