E-COMMERCE GUIDE
Getting an E-Commerce Site Built: Process, Cost and Choosing a Partner
What to know before getting an online store built: platform choice, cost lines, integrations and how to compare quotes.
Why an in-house platform instead of a rented package?
Rented e-commerce packages start fast, but you are limited to what the platform allows and the licence fee never ends. At Racoun every store is built on our own in-house e-commerce platform: no monthly licence, and when you need special pricing rules, a B2B dealer structure, deep ERP integration or a sales flow of your own, we extend the platform to fit.
What sets the cost
- Modules: the features you need and any bespoke development
- Design: number of original pages and interface scope
- Product import: number of products and variants
- Integrations: payment gateways, shipping, e-invoicing, accounting/ERP and marketplaces
- Extra modules: B2B pricing, multiple languages and currencies
- After launch: maintenance, support and growth work
With Racoun
We set out the modules needed on our platform in writing with cost and timing; design, import, integrations, testing and launch usually take 5–10 weeks. See our e-commerce build page or request a quote.
