What moves the price
- Complexity of the project — payment options, product variations and stock syncing each add development work to the online store.
- Developer's experience level — a developer who has built many online stores charges more but often handles the tricky parts faster.
- Specific features required — custom checkouts, product filters or subscriptions each need building and testing on top of a standard store.
- Platform chosen — some e-commerce platforms come with ready-made features, while others need more custom development to set up.
- Number of products to load — a large catalogue takes the developer longer to upload, organise and check before the e-commerce store goes live.
- Any additional services like maintenance or marketing support — ongoing support or SEO setup after launch is usually priced on top of the build.

How to pay less
- A developer who already knows your e-commerce platform spends less time learning it, which can keep the development bill down.
- Starting the store on a ready-made theme and adding custom features later can lower the first development bill.
- Preparing product photos, descriptions and prices yourself in a ready-to-upload format can cut the developer's time on the store.
- Using the platform's built-in payment and shipping options rather than custom ones can lower the e-commerce development cost.
- Asking for a maintenance plan priced with the build can cost less than paying for each later fix to the store separately.
Before you book
- A clear outline of your business goals and target audience for the e-commerce site.
- Access to existing branding materials, such as logos and colour schemes.
- Any existing website access or hosting details, if applicable.
- You can ask the developer which e-commerce platforms they have built on and to show you a live store they made.
- You can ask the developer how they protect customer data and keep the online store secure.
- It helps to agree the launch date, the revision rounds and what counts as extra work before development starts.
