I want an online store →A website convinces, an online store collects the money. The difference between them is one screen where the payment either goes through or it does not. Everything else is built around it. We wrote up what a page that is meant to sell should look like in our article on the landing page that converts.
An online store from us means a custom design with no template, a connected payment gateway (card, GoPay, PayPal or bank transfer), an admin panel for managing products, a checkout built for mobile, technical SEO for products and categories, and connected order tracking.
The payment gateway is the only part that keeps costing you after launch. Every provider charges a fee per card transaction, and Stripe publishes its current rates. That is why we always add bank transfer to the mix: it costs you nothing, and plenty of people in Slovakia still prefer it.
Mobile optimization is not about the page fitting on a screen. It is about being able to fill in the form with one hand and the payment not falling apart when someone switches to their banking app. Product management runs through an admin panel where you add products, categories, discounts and stock levels without any coding.
SEO for an online store covers product and category pages, which is where organic traffic actually comes from. Analytics and conversions then show you the step where people drop off. We measure in Google Analytics, where a conversion is a completed order, not a page visit. Without that, fixing an online store is guesswork. We covered why a website on its own does not sell in the article on why your website is not bringing in customers.

Which route fits whom
We build online stores all three ways, so we have no reason to push you toward one. The difference is what you pay every month and where the platform stops you. Here is the comparison, including when we would not recommend a given route.
| Shopify | WooCommerce | Custom build | |
|---|---|---|---|
| When to choose it | You want to start selling as soon as possible and your processes are standard. | You already have a WordPress website and want to add selling to it. | You have processes a standard platform will not cover. |
| What you pay on top | A monthly subscription to the platform, plus some add-ons. | Hosting and add-on licenses, no platform subscription. | Hosting only. No subscriptions, no licenses. |
| Where it hits a limit | An unusual process either cannot be done, or takes an expensive add-on. | Updates and security have to be someone's job, they do not happen on their own. | Higher entry price and a longer timeline. |
| When we would not recommend it | With a complex B2B model or a configurator. You would be paying every month for something that still will not do what you need. | When you do not have WordPress and do not want it. Building it just for an online store makes no sense. | When you sell ten products with no special requirements. Then it is needlessly expensive. |
What matters more than the platform
Whether people come to the store at all and whether they find what they came for. The most expensive platform will not save a website nobody visits, and the cheapest one will not ruin a store with a good product and visibility. We covered why websites do not bring in customers in a separate article.
What it costs
990 €
For building the online store, one-time
A B2B online store with prices for logged-in customers, volume discounts and payment terms starts at 1 490 €.
What the gateway takes from an order
With a bank transfer, 53.80 €. A transfer costs you nothing, which is why we always offer it alongside card payments.
The rate applies to standard cards from the European Economic Area, cards from outside it cost more. Stripe publishes its current rates. The fee is not ours, it goes straight to the gateway provider.
We give you the exact figure once we know how many products and variants the store will carry and whether it needs a connection to inventory or invoicing. An overview of all our services is in the pricing.
A website has one job: to convince. An online store adds the order, the payment, shipping, product management and tracking on top, and every one of those steps is a place where you can lose the customer.
It is not a more expensive website, it is a different kind of build. That is also why the work runs 2 to 4 weeks for a basic online store and longer with a configurator or a B2B section.
The product database and the photos. Work starts once we have them, because without products there is no way to build categories, search or checkout.
If you do not have photos, we can shoot them, but that gets planned in up front, not halfway through the project.
When you have a handful of products and most orders happen over the phone or in person anyway. Then it is cheaper and faster to build a regular website with an order form and leave the online store until volume pushes you into it.
We will tell you that at the start. There is no point selling an online store to someone who has nothing to fill it with.
