I have used woocommerce to create dropshipping site as well as print on demand store. I did not make a lot of sales, just few. I did make money by selling these sites through Flippa.

But then again one can get a cheaper one by considering DIY options like using website builders or open-source platforms, free plugins, and tools

E commerce sites are actually very expensive to create. A budget of $500 is very sufficient for that kind of job to be done.

 

[King Belieal]

I think for just a basic e-commerce site, a person should budget nothing less than $100. That should be the barest minimum.

Setting up a basic e-commerce site can cost around $500 to $1,000 for a simpler setup.

If you afre using premium platforms like Shopify or Wix, cost can go high. However, open source need just a domain and hosting.

It's depends on the features which you will love to see on the website if you pay your close friends they may charge you around $80 to $200 to do just this but you will pay More if you hire an unknown person to do this for you it's depends on how you want the website to be professional

 

[Augusta]

The minimum cost to create an e-commerce site depends on whether you're building it yourself or hiring help, with DIY options potentially costing as little as $50 to $200 per year for a basic one
