How long does it take to create a merchant site? 

The time and budget for your merchant site depends a lot on your project. If you want a merchant site with many features, interconnections with many computer systems such as ERP, wms (warehouse management system, PIM (product information management) etc… This can take up to several months.

For a classic e-commerce site, it can take a few weeks, or even a month or two. 

Here are some examples of project duration for various merchant sites:

A very simple site to start

You need a site quickly to start and sell some products? Your merchant site will manage everything (invoices, customers, products) and prepare the packages yourself in your own premises? Do you need a simple and effective graphic theme? 

So your site can be ready in a few weeks or even a month.

A classic merchant site

Do you have a complete range of products, a logo and a graphic charter in your colors or do you already have an existing merchant site? then your project is a little more complex and can take between 1 to 3 months to complete from A to Z. 

A branded shopping site 

You are a brand with its design, its values and its atmosphere and the merchant site must convey all this information? Then you need a bespoke design and definitely some custom apps. 

A project of this type can take between 3 and 6 months depending on the complexity of the graphic charter and your technical needs.

A merchant site already generating several million euros in turnover 

If you already have a merchant site and you are looking for a quote to make a migration vers Shopify, the time required for your project can take from 3 months to 9 months depending on the complexity of the project . Note that this does not necessarily take into account the time required by the e-merchant (you therefore) to define all the needs. 

Of course, all this remains a very general estimate based on our experience in the construction of commercial sites and it is necessary to establish a precise estimate and a unique schedule for each project.

What is the cost of a merchant site?

Quotes for merchant sites can vary greatly depending on the number of things to be developed and your design needs.

For example, the more you want an advanced design ( a personalized graphic charter with Figma for example), the longer the development time will be and therefore the cost of your merchant site will be expensive. 

If we use the same merchant site categories as before, here are the ranges of shopify price that we can have:

A very simple site to start

A simple merchant site to start in e-commerce or digitalize at low cost will start from 5000 € with our Shopify methodology.

It is difficult to do less with developers based in France while offering a serious guarantee on the quality of the project. 

With this budget, you have all the features to sell online and start your business with peace of mind.

A classic merchant site

For a slightly more classic site, budgets can start around €10,000 up to €20,000. With this budget it is possible to do a lot of quality things and start to seriously customize the site 

A branded shopping site 

A brand site with a 100% tailor-made graphic charter and not a theme will necessarily cost a little more. Budgets can start at €25,000 and go up to €50,000, €75,000 or even more depending on graphic needs. 

Most of the budget in this case is devoted to the graphic creation of the pages (html, css), what we classically call in the agency "graphic integration". 

A merchant site already generating several million euros in turnover 

A migration project must include several parts: create the new site, recreate a graphic charter under Shopify and of course import the data from your old site and work on natural referencing so as not to lose any of your traffic. For example, you can use 301 redirects. 

With all this, the budgets devoted to migrations are often the highest. They can start at 20 or 25,000 € and go up to more than 100 or 150,000 € in certain cases. The older the site, the greater the amount of data and the more things to migrate, the higher the price of your e-commerce site will be. 

So we can see that there is a whole range of eshop projects that we can offer you at Pikka with Shopify and Shopify Plus. It is therefore necessary to discuss together so that we can understand your project and offer you the best solution according to your budget and your needs.
