Turnkey e-commerce store development

Your niche has its own mechanics

Questions about e-commerce development — and straight answers

• How much does an e-commerce store cost?

  Honestly, there's no single figure — a 50-SKU store and a 10,000-SKU store with 1C sync cost differently. Three things drive the price: catalog size, the set of integrations (payments, delivery, inventory), and how complex the niche is. So you don't have to guess, get a ballpark range from our calculator, and we'll give you an exact figure at a 30-minute brief.

• How long does e-commerce development take?

  6–8 weeks for a store up to 500 SKUs with a standard integration set: LiqPay, Nova Poshta, 1C. From 8–10 weeks if you need real-time 1C sync, multiple warehouses, or non-standard filters. From 10 weeks for custom solutions (auto parts, marketplace, B2B accounts). Timelines are fixed in the spec before we start.

• Which platform fits — WooCommerce, Shopify, or a custom build?

  There's no universal answer — we choose based on the task. WooCommerce works well for stores up to 10,000 SKUs with editable content — a familiar editor, a wide plugin ecosystem: more about WooCommerce stores. Shopify — if you plan to sell internationally or need a simple admin panel without an in-house tech team. Custom development on Next.js — for complex logic (B2B, multiple warehouses, VIN search). We'll tell you what fits after a 30-minute brief.

• How are payments and delivery implemented?

  We connect LiqPay or Fondy: Visa/Mastercard, Apple Pay, Google Pay, installment payments through Monobank and PrivatBank. Nova Poshta API: branch or courier selection on a map right in checkout, package tracking in the customer account, automatic SMS. All of these integrations are part of the standard scope, not add-on services.

• Do I need 1C sync — and are there options without it?

  If you have a physical warehouse, yes — sync is part of the standard scope: a sale on the site subtracts stock in 1C, a new delivery adds stock to the catalog. Updates take 5–15 minutes. If you don't use 1C, we connect KeyCRM or sync through Excel import. Without sync, you risk selling stock you no longer have.

• Who populates the catalog with products?

  Two options. Import from your Excel or 1C using our template — your content manager uploads it, we check the structure. Or populating the first batch is part of the scope — confirm this at the brief. Admin panel training is included either way.

• Will products appear on Google Shopping and Facebook/Instagram?

  Yes. We generate an XML feed for Google Merchant Center and JSON for the Facebook/Instagram Catalog. We configure the first sync before launch day — so ads can go live immediately, not after a month of setup.

• I already have a store — can you redesign or rebuild it?

  Yes, after a technical audit. We review the current structure, speed, SEO, and list of issues, then propose either targeted fixes or a full rebuild. Price depends on the state of the current site — we discuss this at the brief.

• Can I pay in stages?

  Yes. Payment is tied to stages: brief → design → development → launch. We lock in a fixed quote for the full scope after design — the amount doesn't change unless you change the scope. The first payment is small, covering the start of the brief and design.

• Who owns the code and data after launch?

  You do. Code, access credentials, domain, product and order databases — all handed over to you. We work across platforms — WooCommerce, Shopify, a custom Next.js build, or our own Apros CMS — and pick the one that fits your task instead of locking you into one. No mandatory monthly rental of the admin panel: you run the store yourself or with us.
