Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about ecommerce development and how we can help you succeed online.

It depends on your needs. WooCommerce is better if you want complete ownership, no transaction fees, and unlimited customization. You'll pay more upfront ($5,000-$15,000) but no monthly platform fees. Shopify is better for quick launch and simplicity—hosting is included, setup is easier, but you'll pay monthly fees ($29-$299/month) plus 2% transaction fees unless you use Shopify Payments. For high-volume stores or unique features, WooCommerce wins. For beginners wanting speed, Shopify wins.
Ecommerce stores typically cost $3,000-$15,000 for professional development. Shopify stores start around $3,000-$8,000. WooCommerce stores are $5,000-$15,000. Custom-built solutions are $15,000-$50,000+. Cost depends on number of products, custom features, integrations, and design complexity. We provide detailed quotes upfront with no hidden fees.
Most ecommerce stores take 6-10 weeks from start to launch. Simple Shopify stores with basic features can be done in 4-6 weeks. WooCommerce stores with custom functionality may take 8-12 weeks. Complex custom solutions can take 12-20 weeks. Timeline depends on your responsiveness with content, product data, and feedback during the design process.
Yes! We regularly migrate stores between platforms (Shopify to WooCommerce, WooCommerce to Shopify, Magento to WooCommerce, etc.). We transfer all your products, customers, orders, and reviews without losing SEO rankings or breaking links. Migration typically takes 2-4 weeks depending on store size and complexity. We test everything before switching over to ensure zero downtime.
We integrate all major payment gateways: Stripe, PayPal, Square, Authorize.net, and Canadian options like Moneris. We can also set up Buy Now Pay Later options (Afterpay, Klarna, Sezzle), cryptocurrency payments, and subscription billing. All integrations include secure checkout with SSL encryption and PCI compliance.
Yes—we implement industry-standard security measures including SSL certificates, PCI-compliant payment processing, secure hosting, regular security updates, and malware scanning. Major payment processors like Stripe handle card data directly (never stored on your server), reducing security risks. We follow ecommerce security best practices to keep your store and customer data protected.
Absolutely! We build custom features like subscription boxes, product configurators, booking systems, wholesale pricing, membership tiers, custom shipping calculators, multi-vendor marketplaces, and more. If you need unique functionality that platforms don't support out-of-the-box, we can develop it as a custom plugin or build a fully custom solution.
Yes—we offer ongoing maintenance plans ($150-$400/month) that include security updates, plugin updates, performance monitoring, malware scanning, daily backups, uptime monitoring, and priority support. We also handle product updates, seasonal promotions, and store optimization to keep your sales growing. You can focus on your business while we keep the store running smoothly.
Yes! With proper optimization and hosting, ecommerce stores can handle thousands of orders per day. We optimize database queries, implement caching, use CDNs for images, and set up scalable hosting (cloud or VPS). Many high-volume stores use WooCommerce and Shopify successfully—it's about proper configuration and infrastructure. We can scale your store as you grow.
A complete ecommerce build includes: custom design, product catalog setup, payment gateway integration, shipping configuration, tax calculation, SSL certificate, mobile optimization, SEO setup, inventory management, customer accounts, email notifications, analytics integration, admin training, and post-launch support.
