Ecommerce website cost you know before you start: a ready-made store and app with orders on WhatsApp
In a custom build, most of the ecommerce website cost is design and coding done for one business. This package skips that work. You get an ecommerce website and app in your brand, you add products from your phone, and customer orders arrive in your WhatsApp. It suits businesses that sell through messages today and want a shop customers can browse.
From US$1,200 for the website and the app, paid once and invoiced after you see them working.

Taking orders in DMs, and what changes with a store
Selling through WhatsApp, Instagram or Facebook messages works until the same questions fill your day. The Boffin Coders store package keeps WhatsApp ordering, because your customers already use it, and puts a shop in front of it. Customers see each product with its price, choose what they want and send the order, so the first message you get is an order.
Selling in DMs
Answering "price?" and "is this available?" one message at a time.
Copying each customer's order and address out of a chat by hand.
No catalogue a customer can browse, only photos spread across posts and chats.
WhatsApp ordering from your own store
Add, save, live
Type a product's name and price in the app on your phone and save it. It goes live on your website without you opening the website.
Orders on WhatsApp
A customer places an order on your store, and the order comes straight to your WhatsApp.
A shop in your name
Your products, prices and brand on your own website and app, so customers see what you sell before they message you.
Ecommerce website cost: three ways to get an online store
An ecommerce website costs very different amounts depending on who builds it and how you pay. On a store builder you build the shop yourself and pay a monthly plan for as long as it is open. A custom store is designed and coded for your business, and at Boffin Coders it starts at US$4,000. The ready-made store and app on this page is US$1,200, paid once, and it is set up for you.
| Ready-made store and app | Custom-built store | Monthly store builder | |
|---|---|---|---|
| What you pay | US$1,200, paid once | From US$4,000, quoted for your scope | A monthly plan for as long as the shop is open |
| Who sets it up | Set up for you in your brand, with training | Designed and built to your scope | You build and run it yourself |
| Mobile app | Included, in your brand | Built to your scope if you want one | Depends on the platform and the plan |
| How orders reach you | Straight to your WhatsApp | An online checkout, or what your scope needs | The platform's checkout |
| Card payments | Not included. A payment gateway can be added for an extra cost | Built in when your scope needs them | Through the platform's payment options |
| Best for | Businesses that sell through messages and want a proper shop | Stores that need their own design, integrations or a large catalogue | Owners who want to build the shop themselves |

What your ecommerce website and app look like on a phone
A short screen recording of a store app on a phone: categories, new arrivals, the cart and the orders tab. Your store carries your own name, products and prices.
The ecommerce website price, and what it covers
The ecommerce website price for this package is US$1,200, paid once and invoiced after you have seen your store and app working. Boffin Coders sets up a ready-made product, so it costs less than a store designed and coded from scratch. Card payments are the one thing it leaves out.
Store and app package
Paid once, invoiced after you see it working
Card payments: a payment gateway is not part of the package. It can be added later for an extra cost, and you get that price before any work starts.
From your first message to a working store
Getting the store live takes four steps, and the work on your side is sending your details and checking the result. Boffin Coders sets up the website and the app with your brand and products, shows you how to add products and handle orders, and invoices the package once you have seen it working.
