Questions to ask a developer
Ask to see live stores they have built, how they handle failed payments and refunds, who owns the code and hosting accounts, and what support looks like after launch.
Shopify, WooCommerce or custom?
Platforms like Shopify are quick to launch but come with monthly fees in dollars. WooCommerce gives you more control. A custom build suits stores with unusual workflows or high volume. A good developer recommends the option that fits your business, not just the one they prefer to build.
Frequently asked
