What is the price of a cosmetics merchant site?

Whether you sell soaps, shaving products, shower gels or even perfume, there is not a single price for a merchant site. The goal of the project is also to succeed in creating your online store while taking into account your budgetary constraints.
That said, creating a merchant site, a graphic charter, an adapted marketing action plan, all of this takes time.
It is therefore important to still have a budget to create your eshop. What are the orders of magnitude?

Create a store with less than €5,000

A simple e-commerce website creation budget can start in this type of budget. In addition to a professional site, it may be slightly designated to faithfully represent your brand online

With a budget within this range, it is possible to do graphic design to obtain a site that is truly adapted and highlights all the qualities of your cosmetic products.
Many features can enhance your e-store to maximize conversion, such as an Instagram feed, abandoned cart emails, loyalty systems, "back in stock". In short, it is the budget that we advise you to obtain good results.

Between €30,000 and €80,000

In this price range, we will find e-commerce sites for beauty products that can generate several million euros in turnover per year and require significant work upstream of the project for UX, design and marketing. graphic integration.

Above €80,000

Above this budget, it is possible to create almost any bespoke site in the cosmetics industry. With headless, react rendering engines, 100% personalized functions adapted to your brand or your DNA.
