Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it cost to build an e-commerce store?
A professional e-commerce store typically starts from EUR 3,500. The final cost depends on platform, catalogue, variants, payments, shipping, integrations, data migration, and checkout customisation.
Which e-commerce platform is the best?
It depends on the operating model. Shopify is suitable when stability, fast launch, and simplified management matter; WooCommerce is useful when WordPress is central to the site; a custom solution makes sense for B2B, marketplaces, configurators, or non-standard flows.
Can I manage my e-commerce store on my own?
Yes. The store is configured with an admin panel for products, prices, content, promotions, and orders. Training and the exact activities you can manage independently are defined in the project.
Are payments, shipping, and invoicing included?
We configure them when they are included in the proposal. We can integrate payment gateways, shipping methods, notifications, transactional emails, and management systems; commissions, subscriptions, and third-party services remain separate.
Can you migrate catalogue, customers, and orders from another system?
Yes, after checking data quality, catalogue structure, and access to the existing platform. Migration can include products, images, variants, customers, orders, and SEO redirects, but it must always be planned to avoid data or traffic loss.
Who owns the store and the data?
Ownership, admin access, theme or custom-code handover, and data portability are stated in the proposal and contract. Shopify, WooCommerce plugins, apps, and cloud services remain subject to their respective licence terms.
Do you handle optimisation and maintenance after launch?
Yes, when included in the proposal. We can handle technical monitoring, updates, backups, SEO optimisation, conversion analysis, and progressive improvements to catalogue, checkout, and automations.
Which e-commerce platform is best for my business in Brindisi?
It depends on your business type. For an artisan or small producer wanting to sell online quickly, Shopify is ideal: you can launch a professional store in 2 weeks. For businesses with complex catalogs and advanced warehouse management, WooCommerce offers greater flexibility. For B2B sales with customized price lists, we opt for custom-built solutions tailored to your needs.
How do you handle logistics and shipping for a Brindisi e-commerce?
We integrate major national and international couriers (GLS, SDA, BRT, DHL) with discounted rates. For local deliveries in the Brindisi province and Apulia, we configure dedicated shipping zones and in-store pickup options. The system automatically calculates shipping costs based on weight, destination and package dimensions.
Will my e-commerce be visible in search engines for local products?
Absolutely. We optimize every product page for SEO, with specific keywords like 'extra virgin olive oil Brindisi' or 'artisan ceramics Brindisi'. We integrate Google Shopping for direct sales from search results and configure conversion tracking to measure return on advertising investments. Your products will be visible to customers searching for the excellence of the Brindisi territory.
