Rented, or custom.
A rented online store is often the right choice. A custom store makes sense when the way you sell differs from the usual, or when you do not want to hit the limits of someone else’s system.
| Cost | Rented: a low price at the start, then you pay monthly. Custom: a higher price at the start, and you get the price in writing in advance. |
|---|---|
| Options | Rented: you stay within what the system can do. Custom: it works exactly as you need, including processes that are not possible elsewhere. |
| Start | Rented: quick. Custom: longer preparation, because everything is designed from scratch. |
| Look | Rented: looks similar to other shops on the same system. Custom: drawn from scratch, no templates. |
Do you have a few dozen products, ordinary shipping and payments and want to start as soon as possible? A rented store will probably be enough and we will tell you so. Do you sell products with many variants, need your own ordering process, or does your current solution get in the way? Then a custom store is worth discussing. More in the article custom website or template.
What a store includes.
- Catalogue: products, categories, variants (size, colour), photos, filtering and search.
- Cart and checkout: the path from adding to the cart to confirming the order.
- Payments: card, bank transfer, cash on delivery. Each method is a connection that has to be tested.
- Shipping: pickup points, carriers, a price by weight or order value.
- Order management: emails to the customer, order statuses, invoices.
- Legal requirements: terms and conditions, returns and complaints, company information.
Connections to payments, shipping and accounting.
A store does not sell by itself. An order has to pass through payment, shipping has to be chosen and paid for, and the data often has to reach accounting or the warehouse. On the call we go through what you use today and what you need, and set the scope from that. What exactly we connect will be in the written price.
How we work together.
- A call. You tell us what you sell and how.
- A design within three hours. Free, with no obligation, before you decide.
- Scope and price. Once the scope is approved you get the price in writing in advance.
- Build. Catalogue, checkout, payments, shipping, legal pages.
- Hand-over. The store is running and you know how to work with it.
Price.
An online store has no single price. You get the price in writing in advance.
A smaller catalogue with card payment is a different job from a shop with stock, discounts and an accounting connection. The price goes up with:
- the number of products and their variants,
- connections to stock, accounting or a till system,
- discount codes, loyalty programmes and customer accounts,
- several languages and currencies,
- moving products over from an old shop.
We are not VAT payers. A detailed breakdown is in the article how much a custom online store costs and what it is made of. Unsure between a platform and a custom build? Read Shoptet or a custom online store.
Common questions
How much does a custom online store cost?
An online store has no single price, because there is no single kind of store. It depends on the number of products and variants, connections, discounts and customer accounts, and on whether we move data over from an old store. You get the price in writing in advance, once the scope is approved. The design is free and commits you to nothing.
Is a custom store worth it compared with a rented one?
It depends on how much you sell and how much your process differs from the usual. A rented solution is quick and cheap at the start, but you pay monthly and stay within its limits. A custom store costs more at the start and works exactly as you need. If an ordinary process and a small catalogue are enough, renting can be the right choice. More in the article custom website or template.
How soon will I get the store?
You see the design within three hours of the call. How long the whole store takes depends on the scope: the number of products, payments, shipping and connections. We agree the timing together when approving the scope.
Can I move products over from my old store?
Yes, moving products from an old store is one of the things counted into the scope. On the call we go through what state your data is in and what will be moved.
Who looks after hosting and backups?
We handle servers, the certificate and backups, or we hand the store over complete.
