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 do you recommend for an agricultural producer in Foggia?
For an agricultural producer we often recommend WooCommerce or Shopify if the catalog is manageable, or a custom solution if you need complex features like seasonal variant management, subscriptions or B2B price lists. We evaluate your product volume and sales channels together.
How do you handle shipping for an e-commerce with food products?
We integrate the main couriers operating in Foggia (GLS, BRT, SDA) with weight bands and delivery zone management. For fresh or perishable products we configure refrigerated shipping and delivery time slots. Shipping costs are automatically calculated based on the cart.
Will the e-commerce integrate with my accounting software?
Yes, we integrate the e-commerce with major Italian management systems like Zucchetti, TeamSystem and SAP, as well as cloud solutions like Stripe and PayPal for payments. We automatically sync orders, inventory and electronic invoicing.
