Online Store Development
Full-featured e-commerce — payments, inventory and order management.
An online store is a full-featured e-commerce site that lets you sell products or services over the internet. Whether or not you have a physical shop, customers can order anytime from anywhere — and you carry no rent, no shop window and no counter staff for those sales.
We have been building e-commerce sites for the Azerbaijani market since 2012. Every store is integrated with local payment gateways, inventory and order management, built mobile-first and optimized for search. It is handed over turnkey: you upload your products and the store is ready to sell.
What you get
- Local payment gateways (card, e-Manat)
- Inventory and stock management
- Order and delivery management
- Mobile-friendly and fast loading
How an online store is built
We split the process into four stages. First, we map out your product catalogue, category structure and delivery rules together. Second, design: home, category, product card and basket screens are produced and put to you for approval.
Third, development and integrations: payment gateway, inventory, delivery and accounting are connected. Fourth, content loading, test orders and go-live. We train your team on the admin panel at handover.
The stage that takes longest is product content — images, descriptions, sizes and prices. When that material is ready, the store goes live noticeably faster.
Payment gateways and integrations
Selling in Azerbaijan means connecting the store to local payment infrastructure. Online card payments (Visa, Mastercard), e-Manat and other local providers, plus cash on delivery — all combined in a single checkout.
We also integrate inventory systems, 1C accounting, courier and delivery services, and SMS/email notifications. Stock updates automatically, so a product that runs out in the warehouse immediately shows as unavailable on the site.
Mobile e-commerce
Most online shopping in Azerbaijan happens on a phone. Browsing the catalogue, using filters and completing the basket has to take a few taps — otherwise the customer leaves before reaching checkout.
Our stores are built mobile-first: fast loading, thumb-sized controls, a simplified order form and guest checkout. These are the details that move mobile conversion.
Technical SEO so the store gets found
A store does not sell just by looking good — customers have to find it on Google. Every product and category page gets a unique title, description and URL, and product data is marked up as structured data (Schema.org Product) so price and availability can appear in search results.
Site speed, mobile-friendliness and sound internal linking are handled from day one. They are part of the architecture, not something bolted on later. The category structure scales with the catalogue, so adding thousands of products does not slow the site down or make it harder for search engines to read.
Off-the-shelf platform or custom build?
For a business with a standard catalogue, ordinary pricing and simple delivery rules, an off-the-shelf platform (WooCommerce, Shopify and the like) is the faster and more economical choice. The infrastructure already exists, so the budget goes into design and content instead.
A custom build earns its keep when your process falls outside the standard: customer-specific pricing, a B2B ordering flow, complex inventory logic, products priced by dimension, or tight integration with an existing corporate system.
Either way the store remains yours — you own the code and the data. We listen to the project and say plainly which option pays off over time, because the wrong choice means rebuilding a year later.
After the store goes live
Launch is the beginning of the work, not the end. Over the first weeks we watch order flow, basket abandonment and what people search for in the catalogue — that data tells you how to adjust range and pricing.
Google Analytics and e-commerce reporting are set up so you can see where each order came from: search, social or advertising. The support package keeps updates, backups and security checks running.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an online store cost?
It depends on the number of products, the integrations you need and whether the design is bespoke. There is a real gap between a simple store with a small catalogue and a large one with inventory and 1C integration. Tell us your catalogue size and which payment methods you need — we send a concrete quote within one business day.
How long does an online store take to build?
A standard store usually takes 4-8 weeks, covering design, development, payment and delivery integrations, test orders and go-live. It is quicker when product images and descriptions are ready up front.
Which payment methods can you connect?
Online card payments (Visa, Mastercard), local payment providers, e-Manat, bank transfer and cash on delivery. Several methods can be active in the same store at once.
Will I be able to add products myself?
Yes. You manage products, prices, images, categories and discounts from the admin panel. For large catalogues we also set up bulk import from an Excel file.
Can it connect to my inventory system and 1C?
Yes. We integrate with your existing inventory and accounting systems, so stock levels, prices and orders sync automatically and nothing has to be updated by hand in two places.
Is the store secure?
Yes. Every store runs over SSL and payment details are never stored on the site — the payment itself happens on the bank's secure page. Regular backups and security updates are part of the support package.
Off-the-shelf platform (Shopify, WooCommerce) or custom build?
We do both. For a standard catalogue and simple processes, an off-the-shelf platform is faster and cheaper. Where pricing is unusual, inventory logic is complex or there is a B2B workflow, a custom build fits better. We listen to your project and tell you which one actually pays off — either way, the store remains your property.
