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 those apps can bring recurring subscriptions, and deeper checkout changes are limited to Shopify Plus. WooCommerce is worth considering if your team already works in WordPress. Both give you an established platform to run your store.
A custom storefront, such as Next.js connected to a commerce back end, suits an unusual catalogue, a product configurator or a brand with substantial content alongside its products. It takes more build effort, and most later changes need a developer. We look at your products and operations before recommending Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom build.
You also have a choice about where you sell. A marketplace brings its own 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. Running both is an option if each has a role in your sales.
Local
What Philadelphia businesses need from an online store
Philadelphia has manufacturing and food-processing businesses. A manufacturer selling made-to-order goods needs a product page that captures the choices behind each order, such as a file upload, a preview or a price rule. A store selling configurable products needs those choices to reach the order clearly, so staff can work from what the customer selected.
Philadelphia also has universities and colleges. If an organisation sells goods through social media or messaging, a catalogue with online payment and order tracking gives customers a way to place orders without completing each purchase by hand in a chat. The catalogue also gives staff a consistent place to manage what is available.
Rules
What a US ecommerce store needs to handle
Statewide sales tax applies in many US states, while some have no statewide sales tax. Your product and destination decisions need to be reflected at checkout. We configure the store’s tax settings around the rules you provide, so the order calculation follows your chosen setup.
Commercial email needs a valid physical postal address and a clear way to opt out, and opt-out requests must be honoured. If you use email marketing, we connect your email tool and set up the message footer and unsubscribe route as part of the build.
How it runs
How an ecommerce development project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. In winter, India is 10h30m ahead of Eastern time, so the shared board gives you a place to review progress and leave feedback between calls.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You help us agree what the store needs to cover before work begins.
- 02
Design
We prepare product, collection and checkout designs for desktop and mobile. You review the screens and give feedback before code is written.
- 03
Catalogue
We import a small sample first. You check titles, variants, prices and images before the full catalogue goes in.
- 04
Build
We develop the store and its editable content, then test it on devices and browsers. We also prepare branded order emails with a sender on your domain and wording that matches your policies.
- 05
Test
You place test orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases, then check stock, emails and the order records in the admin.
- 06
Launch and care
The launch work covers domain, email, analytics and search setup. Ongoing support follows, with the same team handling design, development and launch.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather the details your store will need from your team.
- A product spreadsheet with descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes.
- Original product photos, with consistent backgrounds and an image for each colour variant.
- Plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms policies.
- Your tax decisions, checked with an accountant, plus delivery areas, couriers and charges.
- Business-owned logins for your domain, DNS, existing site, email, analytics and Google accounts.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline of ecommerce development
The scope and condition of your existing material shape the work.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is quicker to import than information scattered across an old store, supplier PDFs and photo threads.
Migration
Moving reviews, gift cards and redirects adds scope. Customer passwords usually cannot move, so allow for a reset email.
Pricing and checkout rules
Gift messages, delivery date choices and customer-specific catalogues each need their rules reflected in the store.
Markets
Selling across countries brings decisions about currencies, duties, translations and shipping; some platforms need extensions for parts of that work.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with ecommerce development
Losing old page routes during migration
Map each old product and category URL to its closest new page with a server-side permanent redirect, including routes for products you no longer sell.
Showing delivery and tax charges only at the end
Give shoppers estimates on product or cart pages, before they reach the last checkout step.
Loading oversized images and unnecessary scripts
Compress product images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only on pages that need them.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Philadelphia
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an ecommerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price: the scope determines the work. The size and complexity of your catalogue are major drivers, especially for bundles, custom options or products sold by weight. Integrations also change the work; a stock and price sync with an ERP is more involved than an order export to accounting.
Which payment gateways can you set up?
We support Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay and local gateways, subject to your country and platform. Stripe accepts business sign-ups in the United States. When choosing a gateway, check the payment methods and currencies you need, when funds settle, and how refunds and disputes are handled.
What is included in an ecommerce store build?
A store build covers the catalogue, product and collection pages, cart, checkout, payment and shipping settings, tax rules, customer accounts, policy pages and the admin your team uses. Catalogue planning also defines filters and variants, including which choices need their own SKU, stock level, price or image.
Can you move my existing store?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the existing and new platforms allow it. Check what each platform makes available before agreeing the migration scope, and review the imported records in the new store so your team knows what information it will have after the move.
Will I 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 those assets and their access details under your business’s control. That gives you the ability to decide who works on the store after launch.
What should happen after the store launches?
Measure checkout drop-off, conversion, 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, so access stays manageable as the store is maintained.
