FAQs about ecommerce software development

What is the role of ecommerce developers?

Ecommerce developers know how to translate your business needs into a functional online store with a branded design. Ecommerce developers can help you select and implement the features that will work best for you, solve emerging errors, and make the shopping process easy, delightful, and secure for your customers.

How much does it cost to build an ecommerce solution?

Various aspects of ecommerce development affect the cost of the final solution, including hosting type, custom or platform-based development, the feature set, integrations, and developers’ experience and pay rate. The cost also varies greatly depending on the store’s functionality and inventory size and can start from $25,000 for small online shops, $55,000 for mid-sized ecommerce stores, and $200,000 for complex platforms and marketplaces.

How long will it take to develop an ecommerce solution?

If you opt for a customized off-the-shelf store, the time-to-market will be shorter than with a custom solution built from scratch. The complexity of the prospective website and the number of integrations will also impact the development timeframe. Generally, it takes 6 to 10 weeks to develop an average ecommerce website depending on its functionality and the number of integrations. The more complex a store is, the more time the development will take.

How to pick the right ecommerce platform for my business?

The choice depends on various factors, including your business model, size, and the budget you’re ready to spend. You also need to look into the advantages and disadvantages of the platforms and prioritize ones with only necessary functionality. If you feel overwhelmed and can’t decide, our ecommerce consultants will help you select the best-fitting platform.
