The cost of an e-commerce website cannot be given as one fixed number; it depends on scope. The main cost drivers are:
- Custom design and mobile-first user experience.
- Catalogue size, variants and filters.
- Virtual POS, instalments and alternative payment methods.
- Shipping, e-invoice, accounting and ERP integrations.
- Marketplace integrations, B2B, multilingual or subscription modules.
- Product photography and copywriting.
- Licence model, hosting, security updates and support.
Compare offers by total cost over several years, ownership of code and data, and included SEO and speed work. Racoun builds stores on its own platform with no monthly licence; setup typically takes 5–10 weeks.
Rented platforms are easy to start but charge recurring fees and limit customisation; custom-coded platforms need a planned initial investment but no monthly licence. Launching with core features and adding modules based on data protects the budget.
