How much does an e-commerce website cost?
A smaller Launch Store generally ranges from $4,500 to $6,500. A more customized Growth Store generally ranges from $8,500 to $15,000. Advanced commerce systems start at $20,000. Searchooli confirms the final price only after reviewing the catalog, integrations, fulfillment requirements, and launch plan.
Can Searchooli manage the store after launch?
Yes. Ongoing managed e-commerce can include monitoring, technical support, catalog maintenance, promotions, landing pages, product SEO, analytics, conversion tracking, email and SMS coordination, paid advertising, and social media.
What does the client need to provide?
The client generally provides the products, prices, photographs, descriptions, inventory information, banking and tax information, shipping rules, fulfillment process, return policy, and customer-service responsibilities.
Are Shopify and payment-processing fees included?
No. Searchooli project and management prices do not automatically include Shopify subscriptions, payment-processing fees, paid applications, advertising budgets, physical fulfillment, returns processing, or customer-service labor.
Can Searchooli build a custom storefront using Shopify?
Yes, when the project benefits from it. A custom Vercel storefront can use Shopify behind the scenes for catalog, checkout, and commerce operations.
How long does an e-commerce build take?
Timing depends on catalog size, content readiness, product variations, integrations, approvals, and testing requirements. Searchooli provides a realistic launch schedule after the project review.
Does the build include e-commerce SEO?
Every build includes basic search foundations appropriate to its scope. Ongoing product SEO, content production, paid advertising, social media, email, SMS, and broader growth management can be added according to the client’s needs.
Why is there a project review instead of a fixed checkout button?
Two stores with the same number of products can require very different work. The project review gives Searchooli enough information to recommend the right level and provide a firm proposal instead of guessing.
Can Searchooli move an existing store to a new platform?
Yes. A migration can include products, customer and order data, redirects, settings, and selected integrations. Searchooli reviews the existing store first so the proposal accounts for data quality, search visibility, downtime risk, and what should or should not move.
Can the store connect to inventory, accounting, a POS, or fulfillment software?
Often, yes. The project review identifies the systems you already use and whether they have a supported integration or require custom connection work. Integration scope and third-party fees are confirmed before they are added to the proposal.
Which payment methods can my store accept?
The right payment setup depends on the platform, country, products, risk profile, and business model. Searchooli can configure supported card payments, accelerated checkout options, and—when appropriate—subscriptions or other approved payment methods during the project.
Do I need all of my product information before the project begins?
You do not need every item finalized before the first conversation, but product names, prices, variations, photographs, descriptions, inventory, shipping rules, and return policies affect scope and timing. The project review identifies what is ready and what still needs an owner.
Will my existing store stay online while a replacement is built?
In most migrations, the existing store can remain available while the replacement is designed and tested. The final launch plan depends on the platform, data migration, domain setup, integrations, and how orders will be handled during the changeover.
