Choosing
Which ecommerce platform should you choose?
Shopify suits you if you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. You add features through apps, so check their recurring subscriptions when comparing options. Deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan.
WooCommerce fits a business already using WordPress or publishing substantial content alongside its products. It gives you control over code, data and hosting, but someone on your side needs to look after hosting, updates, security and plugin compatibility. That ongoing work belongs in your decision.
A custom store suits an unusual catalogue or checkout. It gives the build room to follow those requirements, while Shopify is simpler to run and WooCommerce fits an existing WordPress setup. We recommend a platform after learning how your products and operations work, so bring examples of the choices customers make and the tasks your staff handle after an order arrives.
Local
What Toronto businesses need from an online store
Toronto has fashion and food-service businesses that sell through social media and messages. A catalogue with online payment and order tracking gives those businesses a way to accept and follow orders without handling each one in chat.
Toronto's factories and distribution warehouses support businesses with wholesale customers. A distributor may need customer-specific prices, minimum order quantities, quote requests and ordering on account, with those requirements reflected in the store from the start.
Toronto's digital media production businesses may sell configurable printing or other made-to-order products. Those stores need choices beyond simple variants, such as file uploads, previews or price rules that reflect the customer's specification.
Rules
What a Canadian ecommerce store needs to handle
The GST or HST rate you charge depends on the place of supply, such as where goods are delivered. Agree with your accountant which taxes apply and whether your prices include them; we then configure the tax settings in your store.
If you publish commercial material for Quebec customers, French is required on the website. We set up the relevant French content in the store. For commercial emails, we set up consent collection and an unsubscribe mechanism, with your sender identity and current mailing address included in messages.
How it runs
How an ecommerce project runs with us
We work remotely over video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. India is ahead of Eastern Time, with the gap moving 1 hour closer during daylight saving time. The shared board gives you a place to leave feedback and see what is moving between calls.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You show us how you sell and fulfil orders, and we agree the store's scope together before work starts.
- 02
Design and build
We prepare desktop and mobile page designs for your feedback before coding. We then build the agreed store and test it on real devices and browsers.
- 03
Test orders
You place orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases. Check the stock levels, order emails and admin records so the settings match how your business operates.
- 04
Launch and care
We set up your domain, email, analytics and search, then provide ongoing support. Your team can use the launch setup to start reviewing how the store is performing.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Bring the information you have; it helps us understand the store's scope.
- A product spreadsheet with prices, SKUs, variants, stock, weights and package sizes.
- Original product photos, including images for each colour variant.
- Your shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms policies in plain language.
- Business-held logins for your domain, current site, email and analytics accounts.
- Delivery decisionsareas served, rates, pickup and any products with shipping restrictions.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline of ecommerce development
The work involved depends on the store's data, connections and rules.
Integrations
An order export to accounting is smaller work than syncing stock and prices with an ERP or several marketplaces.
Migration
Moving products alone has a different scope from moving customer records, order history, reviews and redirects.
Checkout and markets
Wholesale tiers, delivery-date choices and additional currencies or languages add rules to configure.
Catalogue import
Checking a sample before the full import helps catch title, variant, price and image problems before every row needs correction.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with ecommerce development
Changing platforms without URL mapping
Map old product and category URLs to their closest new pages, including dropped products, using permanent redirects.
Adding an app for every feature
Review what each app does and remove unused ones to limit scripts, conflicts and recurring charges.
Showing charges too late
Give shoppers delivery and tax estimates on product or cart pages, before the final checkout step.
Overloading product pages
Compress images and load chat, review and tracking scripts only where they are needed.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Toronto
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an ecommerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. The main drivers include whether we adapt a theme or create a custom design, and how much product data needs cleaning before import. A spreadsheet ready to import takes less preparation than information scattered across an old store, supplier files and messages. We send a free quote once the scope is agreed.
Can you move my existing store to a new platform?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. Start by identifying which records you need to keep and which platform holds them now. We can then include the permitted transfers in the agreed migration scope, instead of assuming every record will move.
Which payment gateways can you set up?
We support Stripe, PayPal, Razorpay and local gateways, depending on your country and platform. The choice also depends on where your business is registered and the currencies you sell in. Compare the payment methods customers can use, along with settlement, refunds and how disputes are handled.
Are customer order emails included?
Yes. Transactional emails cover order confirmations, dispatch tracking, refunds, abandoned carts and password resets. They need your branding, a sender on your own domain and wording that matches your policies. Set up SPF or DKIM authentication for the sending domain so messages are less likely to land in spam.
Who owns the store after launch?
You own your domain, content and code. That means the store is not locked to the team that built it, and you can keep control of those assets if you change who works on it. Agree how the files and access will be handed over as part of the project scope.
What should we monitor after the store launches?
Compare conversion rate, average order value, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed with 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.
