Learn the cost of hiring a Shopify development company and accelerate your sales with optimal EC site investment

Are you considering building a Shopify site, but are worried about which company to hire and what the average cost will be? In order to operate an EC site smoothly, it is important to understand the necessary costs in advance.

Here we will introduce the average cost of outsourcing to a Shopify development company and a breakdown of the costs in an easy-to-understand manner. Knowing the rough cost in advance will help you reduce unexpected expenses. Please read to the end.

Average cost when requesting a Shopify development company

When using Shopify to operate an e-commerce site, costs vary greatly depending on the plan and features offered by the construction company you hire. Since costs increase depending on the level of functionality and design, it is important to first clarify "what is your purpose and how extensive you want to be." Below, we will introduce three typical construction patterns as a guide.

Building an EC site with simple functions: From around 500,000 yen

It is an online store with the minimum necessary functions, focusing on basic elements such as product registration, inventory management, and payment. It is recommended for those who want to start in a short period of time and at low cost without customizing Shopify themes significantly. If you are a small business or want to try operating an e-commerce site for the first time, this range will be sufficient in many cases.

E-commerce site construction with emphasis on branding and marketing: 1 million yen or more

If you want to launch a brand concept or focus on customer attraction measures such as advertising and coupon functions, you should aim for 1 million yen or more. You can build a site that attracts users by focusing on the design and differentiating yourself from other companies. By clarifying your target market and carefully building your brand image, you can lay the foundation for expanding your sales.

Fully customizable e-commerce site construction: 3 million yen or more

If you are looking to expand on a larger scale, or if you require advanced functions or original development, you will generally need a budget of 3 million yen or more. This allows you to build a site with future business expansion in mind, including multilingual support, integration with external systems, and detailed design.

However, at Cave de Script, even advanced customization rarely exceeds 3 million yen. If you would like to know the specific costs, please feel free to contact us using the inquiry form.

Points to check when choosing a Shopify development company

When considering requesting a Shopify construction company, many people may be unsure of which company to ask. After understanding the costs and construction market rates, there are several points to consider when choosing the best company for your company.

Do they have a wealth of experience and production examples?
Are the costs and plan details clear?
Can you respond flexibly to requests?
What is the quality of support and communication after making a request?

Checking these things in advance will help your Shopify setup go more smoothly. We also recommend that you actually request a quote and consultation to consider the details. Focus not only on cost, but also on aftercare and professional proposals, and aim to choose a partner that you are satisfied with.

Cave de Script EC construction cost plan

When requesting Shopify construction, it is important to choose a cost-effective partner. Cave de Script offers three clear pricing plans to suit your needs and budget. Each plan below can be selected based on the required functions, design preferences, delivery date, etc.

Easy Plan: Implement basic functions in a short time and at low cost
Standard plan: Originality and enhanced functionality
Premium Plan: Fully customizable for advanced sales strategies

Each plan will support you in creating a "sellable e-commerce site."

Easy Plan

This plan meets the needs of those who want to "get started quickly" and "keep costs down." With a budget of around 500,000 to 800,000 yen, you can open in the surprisingly shortest time of just two weeks.

While based on a template, we implement the basic functions required for running an EC site, such as product management and payment functions. Although we do not customize the design significantly, we do make necessary adjustments, such as creating a unified look for your brand color and logo.

This plan is especially ideal for companies that are new to EC sales or those who want to start selling online on a trial basis. It is also recommended for those who want to start small and reduce risk, as it allows you to build a selling website that takes advantage of Shopify's basic functions with a small initial investment.

Standard Plan

This plan realizes a design and functionality enhancement that matches your brand image. With a budget of around 800,000 to 1.2 million yen, we will build a highly original EC site based on a template.

It incorporates elements necessary for business growth, such as layout changes to match product characteristics and sales strategies, expansion of customer management functions, strengthening of marketing functions, etc. It also has a full range of functions to deepen connections with customers, such as linking with SNS and a member registration system.

Utilizing Cave de Script's extensive Shopify knowledge, we will expand the limits of what can be done with templates. This plan is perfect for companies that already have physical stores or brands, or business owners who are considering medium- to long-term EC expansion.

Premium Plan

This is a high-end plan with full functionality that maximizes the potential of Shopify. With a budget starting from 1.5 million yen, we thoroughly customize everything from design to functionality to differentiate you from other companies.

It is equipped with functions to support large-scale business development, such as an intuitive UI/UX design that emphasizes customer experience, integration with multiple sales channels, linkage with inventory management systems, etc. It also enables the creation of data-based marketing strategies, such as detailed sales analysis tools and customer behavior tracking functions.

Cave de Script, a community of 180 engineers, will pool their technical expertise to build a highly scalable e-commerce platform that goes beyond Shopify. Even if a quote from another company is quoted at over 3 million yen, we can offer a cost-effective proposal by taking advantage of Shopify's unique features.

The process from requesting Shopify construction to completion

When requesting a site build with Shopify, it is important to understand not only the cost but also the overall process. Understanding how the project will proceed and what work will be done at each stage will lead to smooth communication and the expected results.

Here we will explain the main steps of building a Shopify website.

Building an e-commerce site using Shopify can be done in four main steps, from planning to operation.

First, in the "Project Planning" stage, we clarify the goals, schedule, budget, and requirements. It is important to conduct detailed interviews at this stage and understand the feasible range.

Next, in the "Design and Functionality Design" stage, we decide on the layout and necessary functions that reflect the brand image. We also select a Shopify theme, the extent of customization, and consider extension apps here.

Next, in the "development and testing process," we build the actual website based on the design and ensure quality through thorough testing. It is also essential to check the functionality specific to EC websites, such as payment functions and product display.

Finally, we move on to "Start of operation and support system," where we handle customer support and implement measures to attract customers after launch. We will maintain a competitive EC site through continuous improvements and updates.
