Online shop costs: scope, checkout and care

Understand online shop pricing from €5,750 excluding VAT, the delivery process and ongoing maintenance.

What makes a shop more complex

A shop adds product pages, categories, search, stock information and checkout to the usual website content. Payment and inventory integrations need testing together. Agree the number of products and connections first: the complexity of those flows matters as much as the visual design.

Budget and proposal

MAAS shop projects start at €5,750 excluding 21% VAT. The final fixed price follows a free audit and mockup and depends on catalogue, integrations and customer journey. Payment is 50% at agreement and 50% at delivery before launch; full payment transfers ownership.

Test the buying journey

Check product pages and checkout on a phone, keep images appropriately sized and make shipping and return information easy to find. A good-looking homepage cannot compensate for an awkward payment flow. Test the full path from product selection through the agreed payment integration.

Include ongoing maintenance

The process normally includes audit, mockup, proposal and implementation, with scope determining the schedule. Maintenance costs €49 per month, cancellable monthly, including Frankfurt hosting, updates, backups, monitoring and 30 minutes of changes. Clarify separate domain costs and responsibilities before launch.
