Selling online involves more than adding a cart. A store needs to make products understandable and support the people managing its catalogue and orders. Ecommerce is part of the web development work we offer at Studio Up.
Start with the catalogue and sales model
How many products are there, how do variants change and who updates stock and prices? Before selecting a platform, clarify these requirements alongside the audience, markets served and available content. They influence both the project and its estimate.
Define the buying journey
Product pages, search, cart and order confirmation should form one journey. Payments, shipping, returns and business-system connections need explicit requirements: not every integration is necessary or included in the same scope.
Prepare for life after launch
Checks, access and operational responsibilities should be agreed before launch. Legal copy and applicable obligations need validation by the appointed professionals. An online store also requires updates, support and continuing commercial work: launching a website does not guarantee sales.
