Online Store Development
An online store that sells 24/7 — with online payments and easy management.
Social media is a great place to start selling, but your own online store gives you full control: your catalog, your customer base, automated orders and payments — without answering price questions in Messenger all day.
What Your Online Store Includes
01
Product Catalog
Categories, filters, search, variants (size, colour) and stock tracking — from a dozen products to thousands.
02
Online Payments
Card payments through Georgian bank payment gateways (e.g. Bank of Georgia, TBC) or Stripe, plus cash on delivery.
03
Order & Delivery Management
An admin panel to see orders, update statuses and manage delivery zones and fees. Customers get automatic email or SMS notifications.
04
Tools to Grow Sales
Discounts and promo codes, customer accounts, Facebook Pixel and Google Analytics, and SEO-ready product pages.

Frequently Asked Questions
Straight answers before you get in touch
The price depends on the number of products, languages, payment and delivery integrations and what the admin panel needs to do. You can get an estimate in about two minutes with our pricing calculator, and we'll prepare an exact proposal after a free consultation.
A standard online store usually takes 2–4 weeks. A large catalog, warehouse or accounting software integrations and custom features add time — we agree on an exact schedule before we start.
We connect Georgian bank payment gateways (for example Bank of Georgia or TBC) or international providers such as Stripe. Money goes straight to your account and order statuses update automatically.
Yes. From the admin panel you can add and edit products, prices, photos, stock and discounts, and manage orders — no technical skills needed.
Social platforms depend on the algorithm, and every order is handled by hand. Your own store takes orders and payments 24/7, brings new buyers from Google search, and keeps the customer base in your hands.
