Ecommerce website development, from catalog to checkoutEcommerce website development, from catalog to checkout

There is no honest fixed number. The cost of an ecommerce website depends on catalog size, pricing rules, the number of integrations and whether you are migrating. A store with a few dozen simple products and one payment gateway is a very different job from a B2B store where every customer sees different prices and orders flow into accounting. We start with a discovery session, write the scope down, and then give a phased estimate so you know what each capability costs and what can wait for a later phase.

If your catalog is small, your sales process is standard and the budget is tight, WooCommerce can be the sensible choice. A custom online store pays off when speed and SEO are critical, the catalog is large or complex, you need wholesale or tiered pricing, or you are tired of plugin conflicts and security patches. Upfront cost is higher, but the code is yours, every change is predictable, and a plugin update no longer stops orders.

Yes, if the migration is planned. We move products, categories, customers and order history, pull the full list of indexed URLs from Search Console and the sitemap, and map every old address to its new equivalent with a 301 redirect. Titles, meta descriptions and product schema are preserved or improved. After launch we watch crawl errors and ranking changes for several weeks so any problem is caught and fixed early.

We connect the store to the payment gateways and wallets your customers use. The hard part is not the connection but the failure cases: a customer closing the tab mid-payment, a late callback from the gateway, or a duplicated request. We use idempotency keys, server-side verification and periodic reconciliation so no order is charged twice and no payment is left without an order. We have shipped multi-provider payments before, including ZarinPal and the Bale wallet in Hamdor.

In B2B ecommerce the buyer is an organization, not a person. Prices may differ per customer or customer group, there are minimum quantities and volume discounts, several people from one company buy under different roles, and an order may need a manager's approval or a formal quote first. Payment is often on credit or in installments. Off-the-shelf plugins usually handle this logic poorly, which is exactly where a custom store earns its cost.

On the day the store is designed, not after launch. Category structure, URL shape, how filters and duplicate pages are handled, product schema and load speed are all architecture decisions, and fixing them later is expensive. We server-render pages so search engines see full content, generate dynamic sitemaps, keep worthless filter combinations out of the index, and design internal links between categories and related products.
