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 a Taranto business?
It depends on the business type and budget. For a quick start we recommend Shopify, ideal for those with few products wanting a store online in days. For businesses with many products or special needs (like seafood variants or industrial spare parts), WooCommerce is the best choice. For complex B2B requirements, we build custom solutions. During our first meeting in Taranto we help you decide.
Do you provide logistics and shipping support in Taranto?
Yes, we help configure shipping management for both local Taranto deliveries and national shipments. We integrate carriers like Bartolini, SDA, and GLS, and can set up shipping zones, in-store pickup, and scheduled deliveries. For seafood and food products, we also configure refrigerated shipping systems.
Can my physical store in Taranto work alongside the e-commerce?
Absolutely. We build omnichannel solutions that integrate your physical store with the online shop. Customers can buy online and pick up in-store (click & collect) or have items delivered. Inventory management is unified, avoiding stock issues. It’s the perfect solution for shops in Borgo and Città Vecchia looking to expand digitally without losing their local customer base.
