Frequently asked questions
Should I build payment processing myself?
No — use a proven processor like Stripe or Shopify Payments rather than handling card data yourself.
Do I need real-time shipping rates at launch?
Flat-rate shipping is a reasonable MVP shortcut unless your products vary hugely in size or weight.
What's excluded from this estimate?
Marketing features like discount codes and loyalty programs aren't included — estimate those separately.
