Frequently Asked Questions
How much does it really cost to start selling online?
Our Pontiac e-commerce development starts at $3,500 for a complete Shopify store setup. You'll also have monthly platform fees ($39-299/month for Shopify) and payment processing fees (2.9% + 30¢ per transaction). We'll explain all costs upfront so there are no surprises.
Do I need technical skills to manage my online store?
No technical skills required! Platforms like Shopify and WooCommerce are designed for non-technical business owners. We provide comprehensive training, and the admin interfaces are point-and-click simple for adding products, processing orders, and managing your Pontiac store.
How quickly can my Pontiac store be online and selling?
Most Pontiac online stores launch in 4-6 weeks from our kickoff meeting. If you have products ready and can provide information quickly, we can sometimes launch even faster. We'll give you a specific timeline during consultation.
Can I start small and add features later?
Absolutely! We recommend starting with essential features and adding capabilities as your Pontiac business grows. This keeps initial costs low while building on a platform that can scale with you.
What if I already have a website? Can you add a store to it?
Yes! We can integrate e-commerce functionality into your existing Pontiac website, or we can build a standalone online store. We'll recommend the best approach based on your current site and business goals.
Do you help with product photos and descriptions?
We'll guide you on best practices for product photography and writing descriptions that sell. While professional photography is separate, we can recommend affordable photographers in the Pontiac area and help you optimize what you have.
Can customers pick up orders from my Pontiac location?
Yes! We can set up local pickup options so Pontiac customers can buy online and pick up from your store. This is popular with local businesses and reduces shipping costs.
What happens if I need help after my store launches?
We provide ongoing support for all Pontiac clients. Whether you have questions about managing products, need help with an update, or want to add new features, we're just a phone call away.
