How do you build an online sales website? Step by step

An online sales website is built through needs analysis, domain and platform choice, design, product content, payment, shipping and e-invoice integrations, legal texts, technical SEO and testing before launch.

Building an online sales website starts with a needs analysis: number of products and variants, B2C or B2B sales, marketplace sales, ERP integration, international sales and who will manage the admin panel.

The main steps are:

  • Choose a short, memorable domain and decide on the platform: rented packages versus custom-built infrastructure.
  • Design a mobile-first layout around the customer journey and enter original product content.
  • Integrate a virtual POS with 3D Secure, shipping, e-invoicing and accounting.
  • Add legal texts (distance sales contract, pre-information form, returns, privacy and cookie policies).
  • Set up technical SEO, speed, schema markup and tracking, then test with real orders before launch.

Costs depend on scope: platform, design, product count, integrations, languages and maintenance. At Racoun, stores are coded on its own infrastructure with no monthly licence fee and typically take 5 to 10 weeks.
