How Much Does an Online Store Cost?
Store cost varies more than most people expect, mostly because 'online store' can mean a 20-product catalog or a multi-category operation with custom logic.
Here's what actually moves the number.

What affects the cost
Platform choice
Salla, Zid, or fully custom — each has a different cost profile.
Design & branding
A theme adaptation costs less than a fully custom storefront.
Product catalog size
20 products and 2,000 products are different setup projects.
Payment & shipping integrations
Local gateways and carriers, set up and tested properly.
Custom features
Loyalty programs, bundles, subscriptions — anything beyond standard checkout.
SEO setup
Product pages structured so they can actually be found in search.
Maintenance
Ongoing updates, security, and support after launch.
What makes our approach different?
We don't start by asking which technology to use. We start by asking what you're actually trying to achieve.
- Product management experience helps us understand the problem before we build the solution.
- We help you figure out what you actually need before you start paying for development.
- If the idea needs an app, we'll build it.
- If a website is the better call, we'll tell you.
- If a simpler solution works, we'll tell you that too.
The platform subscription fee is the smallest part of the real cost — setup, design, and integration work is usually where the budget actually goes.
