Ecommerce projects fail when “payment + inventory + promotions + ERP” hide inside a single low bid. We itemize integrations and content responsibilities up front.
Common deliverables
- Catalog IA, product detail templates, collection pages
- Cart/checkout UX wired to agreed gateways
- Performance pass (WebP images, CWV hygiene)
- Schema for products where appropriate
- Staging workflow and handover training
Starting price anchor
Public Vietnamese e-commerce band starts around 24.9M VND (~from $1,000 USD) for defined scope. Business brochure sites start lower (~$520). Maintenance retainers from ~$60/month cover lighter care—not full merchandising ops.

FAQ
Is $1,000 the final price?
No. It mirrors our Vietnamese “from 24.9M VND” e-commerce starting band. Gateways, multi-currency, and marketplaces change cost.
Shopify or custom?
We discuss platform fit. Custom HTML/JS storefronts and CMS-based shops are both possible depending on ops needs.
Do you handle SEO for product pages?
Technical SEO foundations yes; large-scale content ops are scoped separately.

Catalog and content operations
Who owns product data? If your team cannot update SKUs weekly, fancy filters will rot. We train merchandisers on the chosen CMS or admin, and we set guardrails so huge uncompressed images do not reappear after launch.
International sellers should decide language and currency strategy early. Partial translations without hreflang planning create duplicate headaches. We align with your markets rather than bolting languages on at the end.
Integrations checklist (quoted explicitly)
- Payment providers and failure states
- Tax/shipping rules or third-party calculators
- Email/SMS transactional events
- Inventory source of truth
- Customer accounts vs guest checkout
Each unchecked box is either out of scope or a line item. That clarity protects both sides.
Post-launch care
Flash sales amplify performance and spam risks. Maintenance retainers cover patching and uptime hygiene; campaign landing spikes may need separate surge support. Pair storefront SEO with technical SEO when organic growth matters.
Quality bars before go-live
We test guest and logged-in flows, failed payments, out-of-stock states, and mobile thumb reach for primary CTAs. Accessibility basics—focus states, contrast, alt text—are part of QA, not an optional luxury.
Launch day includes analytics verification and a rollback plan. After launch, a short hypercare window catches content mistakes before paid traffic amplifies them.
Platform decision support
Choosing Shopify, a CMS shop module, or fully custom commerce depends on ops maturity and differentiation needs. Commodity catalogs often win with managed platforms; unique configurators may justify custom WebApp checkouts. We facilitate a decision workshop with trade-offs written down so stakeholders stop relitigating weekly.
Whatever the platform, front-end performance and information architecture remain our craft—especially on mobile networks outside premium urban LTE.
Content and legal pages
Refund policies, shipping disclosures, and terms must match real operations. We implement templates; your counsel or ops owners supply the binding text. SEO copy that contradicts checkout policy damages trust with both humans and AI answer engines citing your site.
If you need a parallel marketing site plus shop, we can coordinate with the web development scope so brand systems stay shared while deploy targets remain clean.
