Ecommerce Development Services
We build online stores where customers can choose products and place orders, and your team can manage the catalog and sales. We design the storefront, configure payments, shipping, and agreed integrations, and launch the store.
Stores on a standard platform are $5,400–$9,000. More complex projects are $10,800–$18,000. After scoping, we provide a fixed-price estimate for the project or phase. Improvements and migrations are estimated separately. All prices are in USD.
No technical specification needed to get started. We reply within one business day. Send a link to your store or briefly describe what you plan to sell.
Launch, Migrate, or Develop Your Online Store
Launch an Online Store
Give customers a clear path from a category to a product, cart, and payment. We define the catalog structure, product variants, payment methods, shipping rules, and order management tools.
Improve an Existing Store
Address what makes buying or managing the store difficult: confusing product options, mobile layout issues, payment errors, or repetitive manual tasks. Using available analytics and examples from your operations, we identify changes and how to check their results.
Migrate Your Store and Connect Business Systems
For a migration, we determine how to preserve the required products, orders, URLs, and connections. For data exchange, we configure agreed links with your existing systems for products, stock, customers, or orders. We define which system owns each value, when updates occur, and what happens if a connection fails. For a standalone integration project, see API development.
Support a Specialized Sales Workflow
B2B orders, customer-specific prices, subscriptions, a product configurator, or a marketplace with multiple sellers. These workflows need a separately defined scope, including administration and operations. For broader platform projects, see web application development.
Ecommerce Development Costs
Our rate is $90/hour for design, development, integrations, and testing. Business corresponds to approximately 60–100 hours, and Pro to 120–200 hours. The agreed scope needs to fit that effort. Several complex integrations, a large data migration, or additional storefronts may require a larger budget.
Hours represent estimated effort. The calendar schedule accounts for project phases, catalog readiness, reviews, and external dependencies. For an agreed project or phase, we fix the scope and price before work begins. Exceeding our internal estimate of hours does not, by itself, increase your bill; new requirements are estimated separately before implementation.
Every store package includes custom design and an administrative interface for agreed day-to-day product and order management. Business covers straightforward page types and workflows. Extended management tools are described separately. We agree on dates after checking catalog readiness, platform access, required services, and feedback arrangements. Any paid assessment is agreed before it begins.
Platform subscriptions, hosting, domains, paid extensions, payment processing fees, and external services are charged separately. We identify required services and distinguish fixed subscriptions from usage-based costs.
After launch, new features and improvements can be estimated at $90/hour. Additional ongoing work starts at $1,000/month; tasks and expected response times are defined in the support terms.
What You Receive and What We Define Before Development
We help describe the future store and specify the deliverable in the estimate. You do not need to prepare a technical specification in advance: together, we define the catalog, purchase journey, and tools for your team.
We identify platform plan limits and paid extensions before agreeing on functions that depend on them. Product photography, extensive copywriting, data cleaning, and complex integrations are estimated separately if they fall outside the package scope.
We separate content into three parts: the store's main pages, product templates populated with supplied data, and additional catalog descriptions and research. The proposal defines the volume, source materials, and responsible party for each. The number of products imported is not the number of unique descriptions to be written.
Product Pages and Catalog Preparation
We design reusable product page templates around the information customers need: price, available options, stock, specifications, shipping terms, and the next step toward purchase.
Catalog data populates these templates. A shared template provides consistent presentation; data completeness and accuracy need separate checks.
A catalog with thousands of products does not require thousands of individually designed pages. Much of the work involves import preparation, data quality, variants, search, and integrations.
Before launch, we agree on automated checks of supplied records, such as missing required fields, duplicate identifiers, or invalid prices and variants. We also check representative product types and purchase workflows. The checking scope and exceptions are recorded, including errors that require your team to correct the source data.
Where structured data or product feeds are included, we check that prices and availability match the relevant product pages at the time of testing. Ongoing consistency depends on the agreed update and monitoring process.
Search Structure for Categories and Products
For public store pages, we study relevant queries, competing stores, and search results to plan categories, priority pages, and internal links. Research depth and content volume depend on the project.
We define which categories and filter pages should be eligible for indexing, provide crawlable links to priority products, and configure metadata. The structured data scope is specified in the proposal; product feed integration is listed as a separate task where needed. We make important product information accessible to search engines and AI search.
Catalog expansion and product descriptions can be estimated separately. AI-assisted draft descriptions are an additional service based on supplied product facts, with review before publication. Missing specifications must come from an approved source.
Which Platform Fits Your Store?
We can assess development on Shopify, WooCommerce, BigCommerce, or Adobe Commerce, as well as a separate storefront where the task calls for one. Before recommending an approach, we compare implementation effort, editing usability, integration limits, and ongoing costs.
A standard platform with custom design
Suits a store whose catalog, checkout, and operations fit the platform's capabilities. Standard components can support efficient implementation while the storefront is designed around your brand and products.
Custom ecommerce development
Addresses specific interface or business needs. Custom design alone does not require a separate backend or headless architecture.
A headless approach
Separates the storefront from the commerce system and connects them through APIs. We consider it when a specific interface or architecture needs that separation, accounting for additional work on previews, updates, integrations, and maintenance. We can use Next.js for a separate storefront. See our approach to Next.js development.
A large catalog or a performance issue is a reason to investigate the implementation before choosing a new architecture.
From Catalog Review to a Launched Store
- 01
Understand the business and catalog
We review products, the customer journey, existing systems, source data, and shipping requirements.
- 02
Agree on the project
We define the platform, page types, content volume, integrations, acceptance criteria, exclusions, and estimate.
- 03
Design and develop
You review the storefront and agreed purchase workflows at defined stages. Two rounds of revisions per stage are included before launch, within the chosen direction; changes to the approved scope are estimated before implementation.
- 04
Test purchases and operations
We check significant product variants, the cart, payments, shipping rules, notifications, and order processing, including agreed failures. Performance is tested under recorded conditions.
- 05
Launch and verify
We deploy the store, connect the domain, and check key actions in production. Payment testing is agreed with you, accounting for the payment provider's available test modes.
- 06
Hand over the working store
You receive account access, repository access where applicable, management instructions, and technical documentation. A 30-day defect-fix warranty applies after acceptance of the launched project, under the acceptance and warranty terms.
Experience with Catalogs and Product Data
Anton Byvshevleads iQyra's engineering work and has more than 20 years of software development experience.
At previous employers, he worked on the backend of a platform tracking more than one billion product records across approximately one thousand stores. His tasks included catalog data and a backend system handling high workloads.
This experience relates to data and integrations. For your store, we separately design the storefront, purchase workflows, and management tools.
Meet the TeamQuestions Before You Get in Touch
Can You Migrate an Existing Store?+
Yes. We first review products, variants, customer and order data, URLs, and existing integrations. We determine what can be moved, what needs transformation, and how to handle changes during migration. The launch plan includes redirects, checks, and the order-processing switchover.
Where Search Console and analytics access is available, we record important pages and baseline metrics. After switching over, we check the new store and changes against that baseline. URL changes may cause search ranking fluctuations; recovery times are not fixed. Migration limitations are identified before work begins.
Can We Edit Products and Manage Orders Ourselves?+
Yes, through the agreed administrative interface. We provide instructions for regular tasks. New functionality or a substantially different page layout may require development.
Can You Build B2B Ordering?+
Yes. Company accounts, customer-specific pricing, wholesale orders, quote requests, and order approvals can be designed around your sales process. Before estimating, we check platform support and the extensions required.
Will You Upload All Our Products?+
The estimate specifies the number of products or records to import and the required source format. We agree on responsibility for descriptions, images, variants, and missing data corrections. A store package does not include unlimited manual product entry.
Can You Help Improve Conversion After Launch?+
Yes. We can review available funnel data, identify where customers encounter difficulties, and estimate changes to product pages, the cart, or checkout. Experiments are planned around available traffic and measurable events. Implementation must account for the selected platform's checkout capabilities.
Who Owns the Store?+
You control the agreed merchant, domain, and service accounts and receive the code created for the project. Platform services, third-party extensions, and pre-existing tools are used under their licenses. These dependencies are recorded in the scope; see the ownership terms.
Can You Support the Store?+
Yes. Updates, monitoring, catalog work, and further development can be part of a paid support agreement. We define tasks and expected response times; new development and ongoing support are separate from the defect warranty.
Let's Discuss Your Store
A link to your current store or a short description of your products and task is enough to start. Add product and variant counts, shipping regions, a sample catalog, and required integrations if you already know them. You can also include a budget and preferred date if available.
We reply within one business day. We'll clarify the questions and determine whether there is enough information for an estimate or whether an assessment is needed first. If the assessment is paid, we agree on its deliverable and cost in advance.
