How Much Does It Cost to Build an E-commerce Store?
What changes the price: catalog size, payments, integrations and design.
An online store costs €400 to €2,300, covering orders, product pages, a contact form, reviews, emails, courier integrations, online payments and a blog. A store with its own downloadable mobile app costs €1,400 to €3,500. The biggest cost drivers are integrations, custom features and catalog complexity.
- Hosted platforms are cheaper to start; custom stores give full control.
- Courier, ERP and invoicing integrations add significant scope.
- Budget for product photography and content.
