How much does eCommerce software development cost?
The investment depends on your platform, features, integrations, and business model. A custom Shopify store typically ranges from $15,000 to $40,000, while marketplaces and custom commerce platforms may range from $50,000 to $150,000+. You receive a detailed, scope-based estimate before development begins.
How long does it take to build an eCommerce platform?
A focused eCommerce MVP can typically launch within 8–12 weeks. Standard D2C stores may take 8–10 weeks, marketplaces around 12–16 weeks, and complex B2B platforms 14–20 weeks. Your final timeline is confirmed during discovery.
Should I choose Shopify or a custom platform?
Shopify is often ideal for D2C brands that want to launch quickly with proven commerce functionality. A custom platform is better suited to marketplaces, complex B2B operations, advanced subscriptions, or business models that cannot fit within standard platform limitations. The recommendation is based on what best supports your business.
What is headless commerce, and do I need it?
Headless commerce separates your storefront from the backend commerce system, giving you greater control over performance, design, and multi-channel experiences. It is valuable when platform limitations are restricting growth, but it may be unnecessary for a straightforward first launch.
Can you build for the MENA market?
Yes. We support eCommerce businesses across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Egypt, Kuwait, and the wider MENA region. This includes Arabic and RTL experiences, regional payment gateways, cash-on-delivery workflows, local logistics, and GCC VAT requirements.
Which eCommerce systems can you integrate?
We connect commerce platforms with leading payment gateways, shipping providers, ERPs, CRMs, tax systems, marketing platforms, and analytics tools. This includes Stripe, PayPal, Adyen, Aramex, Salesforce, HubSpot, Klaviyo, SAP, Oracle, Microsoft Dynamics, Avalara, and more.
