Quick answers
How much does it cost to start an online store?
A lean store can launch for a few hundred dollars in the first year: a platform plan, a domain and a small marketing budget. Inventory, apps, design and paid ads raise that. Model your own numbers with the Startup Cost Estimator.
Which ecommerce platform is best for beginners?
It depends on what you sell and how much control you want. Hosted platforms are easiest to start; open-source options give more control but need more upkeep. The 60-second quiz gives you a personalised shortlist.
Can you build my store for me?
Yes. Send a short brief and we reply with a plan and a fixed quote, usually within 48 hours. There's no obligation.
Are the tools really free?
Yes. Every tool runs in your browser with no sign-up. The site is funded by advertising, sponsorships and optional supporter contributions.
