How much does it cost at the minimum to create an e commerce site?

[Min George]

Let's just say a basic stand alone e commerce site. How much do you think it would cost to have one set up? What are the different cost components for having an e commerce site set up and running already?

 

[Augusta]

it costs around $200 to build a website, so you can still keep more money Then it also cost around $50 or more per month to maintain it.

If you use woocommerce and set up a shared hosting and also get your own dot com, you can start your online business in about $50

Have you used woocommerce yourself? If yes, what kind of products are you selling and how many products do you sell every month?

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.

 

[SilverLance]

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

 

[Nomad]

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

That's a clever pivot, monetizing the sites themselves can be more lucrative than the initial product sales, nice exit strategy.

 

[Stardom22]

For me l think it wouldn't cost more than $300 to set up an e-commerce website for sure. Though sometimes it may depends on parameters it comes with like the plugins and so on.

 

[Augusta]

Depending on the platform and the features you require. Hiring a freelance web developer can be a more cost-effective option than working with a web development agency.

 

[Tray59]

I believe $400 can be enough but if you want to make it more professional it can cost a bit than this and another thing is what features you may like to see because things change day after day

 

[Kera]

I think that $300 would be enough to create a basic e commerce site that would also include checkouts.

 

[Augusta]

I believe that $500 would be enough to create a basic features, but it depends on platform.
