Choosing
Which platform should you choose?
Shopify is the simplest option to run. WooCommerce is a good fit if your team already uses WordPress or manages a lot of content alongside the shop. It gives you control over your code, data and hosting, but someone on your side will need to look after hosting, updates, security and plugin compatibility. Factor that maintenance into your decision, especially if nobody currently owns it.
A custom or headless storefront, such as Next.js on a commerce back end, suits an unusual catalogue, a product configurator or a brand with substantial editorial content. It takes more development effort, and most later changes need a developer. We recommend a platform after learning about your products and operations, so the choice reflects the work your team will do after launch.
Your own store also gives you control of customer data and margin, while a marketplace brings visitors under its own rules and keeps the customer relationship. Some brands use both and synchronise stock. Plan how you will attract visitors to your own store.
Local
What St. Louis organisations need from a store
St. Louis has manufacturing and trade businesses whose catalogues may need more than a standard retail checkout. A manufacturer selling made-to-order products could need file uploads or price rules; a distributor selling to other businesses may need customer-specific prices, minimum order quantities and quote requests. Those requirements affect the catalogue and the ordering process from the start.
Trade and professional services are also part of the region's business mix. A St. Louis brand taking orders through social media or messages could use a catalogue, online payments and order tracking to reduce manual handling. A growing direct-to-consumer brand may instead need reviews, subscriptions and email flows alongside faster product pages.
Rules
What a US store needs to handle
State-level sales tax applies in much of the United States, while some states have no statewide sales tax. Decide with your accountant which taxes apply to your products and whether prices include them; we then configure the agreed tax rules in checkout.
Commercial email needs a valid physical postal address and a clear opt-out, with opt-out requests honoured. We connect your email tool and set up the commercial email content and opt-out route around those requirements.
How it runs
How your project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is 10h30m to 13h30m ahead of the mainland US in winter, and 1 hour less during daylight saving time. The shared board keeps decisions and feedback available 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 work begins.
- 02
Design
We prepare product, collection and checkout page designs for desktop and mobile. You review them and give feedback before we write code.
- 03
Build
We develop the agreed store, using code or a content management system your team can edit. We test on real devices and browsers.
- 04
Test
You place orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases, then check stock, emails and how the orders appear in the admin.
- 05
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, followed by ongoing support for the store.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather these materials and decisions to make the scope discussion useful.
- Product dataPrepare a spreadsheet with names, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes.
- PoliciesWrite your shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms policies in plain language.
- Gateway documentsGather registration, bank and identity details, and apply for the account in your business's name.
- Account accessFind logins for your domain, current site, email, analytics and Google accounts.
- Payment preferencesNote your selling currencies and compare payment methods, settlement, refunds and disputes.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline
The scope and condition of your store materials shape the work involved.
Catalogue
More variants, bundles or products sold by weight or length add setup work.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is easier to import than information scattered across documents and messages.
Design
Adapting a theme is less work than creating a custom design for unusual products.
Integrations
An order export is smaller in scope than stock and price synchronisation with an ERP or marketplaces.
Migration
Moving customer records, order history and redirects adds work beyond a product-only move. Plan a password reset email for existing customers.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid
Lost page addresses
Map old product and category URLs to their closest new pages with server-side permanent redirects, including URLs for discontinued products.
Untested live payments
Place a real low-value order using live settings and refund it to check the payment configuration and order email.
Order emails in spam
Set up SPF or DKIM authentication for the sending domain.
Heavy product pages
Compress images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only on pages that need them.
Questions
Asked by businesses in St. Louis
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an ecommerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. Catalogue imports and product variants, the decisions needed to sell across several countries, and recurring app charges all affect the work or ongoing spend. Once we have agreed the scope, ask us for a quote that reflects what your store needs.
Can you move my existing store?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the existing and new platforms allow it. Tell us which records your team uses when fulfilling orders and helping customers, so we can check what is available to move before agreeing the migration scope.
Which payments can my store accept?
We support gateways including Stripe, PayPal and others suited to the country and platform. Stripe lists the United States as a country where businesses can sign up. We test paid, failed, cancelled and refunded orders, checking that each updates the order record, stock and customer email correctly.
Will I own the store after launch?
You own your domain, content and code. That means you are not locked to the team that built the store. Keep the relevant accounts and materials accessible to your business so that you can decide who looks after the store as your needs change.
What should my team check after launch?
Retest checkout after an app, plugin or theme change, and give each staff member a separate login with only the permissions they need. Track conversion rate, average order value, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed against the figures from before launch or migration.
What is included beyond the storefront pages?
The build also covers the cart, customer accounts, policy pages and the admin your team uses for orders. We connect accounting, ERP, email and marketplace tools where needed, reducing manual handling across separate systems. We also add structured data that makes product pages eligible for rich search results.
