Websites · Online shop
Ecommerce website development for businesses ready to sell online
An online shop is more than a website with prices. It needs a catalogue you can manage, a checkout people trust, payment and delivery options that fit your customers, and the legal pages that let you sell. At EclipsiumX, online shops are Web Engineering projects: scoped with you, then quoted in a fixed written proposal.
What drives the cost of an online shop
Shop prices vary more than any other kind of website, because the work behind them varies. These are the questions that decide the scope:
| Factor | Smaller scope | Larger scope |
|---|---|---|
| Products | A few dozen, simple | Hundreds or thousands, with variants (size, colour) |
| Catalogue updates | Added by hand | Imported or synced from another system |
| Payments | One or two methods | Several methods, several currencies |
| Delivery | Flat rate or pickup | Rules per weight, zone or courier |
| Languages and markets | One | Several, with different prices or taxes |
| Integrations | None | Invoicing, stock, ERP or marketplace connections |
| Customer features | Guest checkout | Accounts, B2B prices, order history |
The plan table below shows all three website tiers. An online shop sits in Web Engineering, which is quoted after a call — there is no list price because no two shops have the same scope.
What a good online shop should include
- Product pages with clear photos, price, availability and delivery information.
- Search and categories that work on a phone.
- A short checkout with as few fields as possible.
- Payment and delivery options your customers already expect.
- Order confirmation emails, and a simple way for you to see and process orders.
- Fast loading — slow product pages lose sales.
- Basic SEO for categories and products.
Plans
| Plan | What you get | Price |
|---|---|---|
| Launch Site | A clean, fast presence for a new or small business. | From €299 |
| Business Website | A custom website that represents a growing company. | Most projects €1,500–€4,000 |
| Web Engineering | Online shops, portals, dashboards and custom functionality. | Custom quote |
Legal pages a shop in the EU needs
This is general guidance, not legal advice — check the details with your lawyer or accountant. Shops selling to consumers in the EU usually need:
- Terms and conditions of sale, with company identification.
- Information on the 14-day right of withdrawal and how returns work.
- A privacy policy (GDPR) and a cookie notice where cookies are used.
- Delivery and payment information before the order is placed.
- In some countries, links to consumer protection and online dispute resolution bodies (for example, in Romania: ANPC and the EU's SOL platform).
How to prepare before asking for a shop
- A product list, even rough: how many, which variants, where the data lives today.
- The payment and delivery methods you want to offer.
- Whether orders must reach other software — invoicing, stock or accounting.
- Who will add products and process orders after launch.
- Shops you like as a customer, and why.

Frequently asked questions
How much does an online shop cost?
Online shops are Web Engineering projects at EclipsiumX, so they are quoted after a short call rather than listed. The price depends on the number of products, payment and delivery rules, languages and integrations. You receive a fixed written price before deciding.
Can I start with a smaller shop and grow later?
Yes. A shop can be built in phases — for example, a focused catalogue first, then accounts or integrations later. The phases are written in the proposal.
Which shop platform do you use?
That depends on what the shop needs, and it is agreed with you during scoping and written in the proposal.
Can the shop connect to my invoicing or stock software?
Integrations with your systems are part of Web Engineering. Tell us which software you use in your request so the call can cover it.
Can I add and edit products myself?
Managing products and orders yourself after launch is something to agree during scoping — say who will do it, and it goes into the proposal.
Do I need a shop, or would a catalogue site with a quote form be enough?
If you sell mostly to businesses or every order is different, a Business Website with a quote request form may be enough and costs less. We tell you plainly in the call.
