When to Contact a Website Development Agency for an Online Store

Creating an online store can be a challenging task, but choosing the right approach depends on the specifics of your product business and the number of products.

Direct Sales Without a Website

If you have a small number of Instagram-friendly products, you can sell them manually through Instagram and TikTok and manage without a website for some time.

Developing a Showcase Website

If your product is not suitable for direct sales but the number of items is limited, consider developing a showcase website. This is a good option for testing your product segment or for selling up to 10 types of products.

Creating an Online Store on a Website Builder

If your audience is not demanding and you don't need synchronization with accounting and inventory systems, consider creating an online store on a website builder. It will be cheaper and suitable for mid-priced products with up to 300 items.

Ordering a Full-Service Online Store

If you have a large number of products, sell both wholesale and retail, each product has different characteristics, and you need synchronization with inventory and logistics systems or you accept payments from different countries, you need a custom-developed online store. Although this is a significant investment, such a website will provide any necessary functionality and competitive advantage, high speed, and the possibility of adding extra features in the future.
