E-Commerce Setup Costs: One-Off, Yearly and Per-Sale

Most businesses compare only setup fees. Recurring yearly and per-sale costs make up a large part of the real total.

Three cost groups

  • One-off: setup, design, payment and shipping integrations, initial product upload, photography.
  • Yearly: domain, hosting, theme or plugin licences, platform subscription.
  • Per sale: payment provider commission, paid directly to the provider.

Platform choice

Open-source platforms have no subscription but need maintenance; hosted platforms charge monthly; custom builds fit B2B and dealer pricing. For a written quote, contact Alemo Dijital.
