An online store:what it really costs.
Shopify runs roughly €30 to €300 per month, plus a fee on every sale. A built-for-you WooCommerce shop sits around €1,500 to €5,000 in the market, and a custom-coded store is quoted per project with us, a fixed number the same day, depending on your catalogue and integrations. For a standard shop Shopify is fine, and we'll tell you so.
Three routes, three bills.
Shopify or another SaaS platform: €30 to €300 per month plus transaction fees; over three years that's easily €1,000 to well over €10,000, and it keeps running as long as you sell. A WooCommerce build costs €1,500 to €5,000 upfront in the market, plus hosting, paid plugins and updates that come back every year. Custom-coded is a one-time number quoted per project, with only a small hosting bill after. So do the math over three years, not month one.
What drives the price.
Four things set what your store costs: catalogue size (ten products is a different project than a thousand), payments (iDEAL, credit cards, buy now pay later), links to your stock or POS, and your shipping rules (zones, pickup, island delivery). Tell us those four things and you'll have a clear number the same day.
What we build, and when it's worth it.
If you want a standard catalogue with a standard checkout, take Shopify; that advice is free. A custom-coded store pays off once speed matters, you're done with monthly platform fees, you want zero plugin bloat, and you want a checkout that matches your brand. We built the booking platform behind Tex Cars Aruba and our own rental platform FleetDesk, so payments, availability and admin are familiar ground.
Straight answers
- What does having an online store built cost?
- Three routes: Shopify from roughly €30 to €300 per month plus transaction fees, a WooCommerce build at €1,500 to €5,000 in the market, and custom-coded quoted per project with us. Where you land depends on your catalogue, payment methods and integrations. Message us what you sell and you'll have a clear number the same day.
- What does an online store cost per month?
- On Shopify you pay €30 to €300 per month plus a fee per sale, for as long as your store exists. On WooCommerce you pay hosting and usually paid plugins, easily tens of euros a month in the market. A custom-coded store has no platform fee; you pay hosting and, if you want us to keep it sharp, a care plan.
- Shopify or my own online store?
- Standard catalogue, standard checkout, live this week: Shopify, and we'll say so to your face. Your own store wins on speed, zero monthly platform fees, no plugin bloat, and a checkout fully in your brand. The longer your store lives and the more you sell, the faster the custom build earns itself back.
- What does a professional online store cost?
- In the market, a professionally built WooCommerce shop runs roughly €1,500 to €5,000. A professional custom-coded store is quoted per project with us, fixed number up front. The difference sits in the finish: load speed, a checkout without detours, and stock and shipping links that just work.
- How fast can my online store go live?
- A Shopify store is live in days; a built store you count in weeks, not months. The pace mostly depends on how fast you deliver products, photos and copy. We build while you collect, so it runs in parallel.
