How much does an ecommerce website cost in the UK?

An online shop has two kinds of cost: building it, and running it. Compare both before choosing a platform or a provider.

Cost to build

Our Online shop starts from £1,800 for a fixed-scope build. More products, custom features and integrations add to the price.

Cost to run

These costs continue after launch, so add them up for a full year.

  • Platform subscription, if you use a hosted platform
  • Payment provider fees on each sale
  • Hosting, if the shop is self-hosted
  • Apps or plug-ins you add
  • Updates and support

Hosted platform or a custom shop

A hosted platform is quick to start but charges monthly and may add transaction costs. A custom shop costs more to build but you own it and avoid the platform subscription. The right choice depends on how much you sell.
