Websites for / Shops & retailStore · $6,000

Online stores for shops,
with a checkout for phones.

Whether you sell from a shopfront, online or both, the website has to do the selling while you're busy. That means products people can find, a checkout that works on a phone, and prices and stock that are right. We build online stores on Laravel, and you own the code.

01  Your customersWhy they visit

What your customers came to do.

  1. 01

    Find the product fast

    By category, size, color or price, with a search box that copes with typos.

  2. 02

    Check it's in stock

    And, if you have a shop, whether they can pick it up today.

  3. 03

    See the full cost

    Shipping, tax and a delivery date before the last step of checkout, not after it.

  4. 04

    Pay without a fuss

    Card, Apple Pay or Google Pay, as a guest, on a phone, without making an account first.

02  Must-haves5 things

What a retail website needs to do.

01

A catalog with filters that work

Variants for size and color, collections, and filters that match how your customers shop. You add and edit products yourself from the admin.

02

A checkout built for phones

Guest checkout and wallet payments through Stripe or Square, with every step designed for a small screen first.

03

Shipping, tax and pickup set up

Shipping zones and rates, tax settings, and local pickup if you have a shop, all configured before launch rather than left for you to work out.

04

Order emails and an order screen

Customers get a confirmation and shipping updates; you get an order screen showing what to pack. Discount codes and gift cards are included.

05

Product pages search engines can read

Each product gets its own title, description and product structured data, so the price and availability can show in search results.

What we'd suggest.

Store is built for selling: catalog, checkout, payments, shipping, tax, order emails, discount codes and gift cards, with 90 days of support after launch. Business email on your domain makes order emails come from you, not a free mail address.

Only selling a handful of products? Taking payments online ($500) on a Starter ($950) or Business site may be all you need.

05  Questions

What shops ask us.

Short answers to what comes up before a project starts.

Ask something else →
01Why not use a hosted store builder?

For a small catalog and a tight budget, a hosted builder is a sensible place to start, and we'll tell you so. Our stores make sense when you want a design that's yours, no monthly app fees stacking up, and code and customer data you can take anywhere.

02Which payment providers can we use?

Stripe or Square, set up in your own account so payouts go straight to you. Both take cards, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

03Can you move our products from our current store?

Usually. Most platforms export products to a spreadsheet, and we import that, variants and images included, then check it by hand. Tell us where you sell now and we'll include the move in the quote.
