Pricing guide · Updated August 2026

How Much Does an Ecommerce Website Cost?

Ecommerce website cost runs higher than brochure sites because product catalogs, payment processing, and checkout flows add real build time. A store that crashes at checkout or hides shipping fees kills sales fast. We scope ecommerce projects from $1,885 so you pay for what your catalog needs, not a bloated platform.

What raises ecommerce website cost

Product count, payment integrations, shipping rules, inventory tools, and custom features all add to build cost. A ten-product store differs greatly from a five-hundred-product catalog with variants, subscriptions, and multi-currency support.

We scope ecommerce projects carefully so you pay for what you need, not a platform you never use.

Ecommerce website cost factors including catalog size and checkout features

Shopify vs custom ecommerce builds

Shopify works if you want a managed platform with built-in payments, inventory, and shipping. Custom builds with Next.js and Stripe give more control and no monthly platform fees, but need more technical maintenance.

We recommend the right approach on your strategy call based on product count, budget, and technical comfort.

Shopify versus custom ecommerce build cost comparison

Ecommerce website cost by catalog size

Small catalog under 25 products: $1,885 to $3,500 with custom design and Stripe checkout. Medium catalog of 25 to 200 products: $3,500 to $7,000 with filters, variants, and shipping rules. Large catalog of 200+ products: $7,000+ with ERP or inventory integrations.

Platform fees add $29 to $299 per month on Shopify. Custom builds avoid platform fees but need hosting and developer maintenance.
