What's included

What's included in our ecommerce website development

A real online store needs more than a product page and a "Buy Now" button. Here's everything we build into yours.

Product catalog & self-management

Manage products, photos, descriptions and pricing yourself — no code, no waiting on us for routine updates.

Secure payments — local & international

Local cards, SINPE Móvil, and international payments in colones and dollars — so any customer can check out without friction.

Inventory, shipping & orders

Stock levels, shipping rules and order tracking from one dashboard — no separate spreadsheets.

Mobile-first, bilingual storefront

Built mobile-first and ready in English, Spanish, or both — real copywriting, never auto-translated.

The right platform

Online stores built on the right platform: Shopify, WooCommerce, or custom

There's no single "best" platform — only the one that's best for your business. We'll tell you straight which one fits.

Shopify stores

Fast to launch, easy to scale, backed by a huge app ecosystem for marketing, shipping and reviews. Less hands-on maintenance.

WooCommerce & WordPress

Full control over design, content and customizations — ideal if you also want a blog or strong SEO content.

Custom ecommerce development

For unusual product setups, booking-meets-shopping flows, or integrations with systems you already use.

Payments, solved

Accept payments in Costa Rica — and from customers abroad

Get this wrong, and you lose the sale at the very last step. Get it right, and checkout becomes invisible.

Most generic store builders treat Costa Rica like an afterthought. We don't — this is where a local team makes a real difference.

Plan & platform choice

We recommend the right platform for your products and budget, with a written proposal and fixed price.

FAQ

Ecommerce website development in Costa Rica: frequently asked questions

The questions we hear most from business owners planning their online store.

It depends mostly on your catalog size and the platform you choose — a 20-product boutique store costs less than a 500-product catalog with custom shipping and integrations. Every project starts with a fixed quote in writing, so you know the full cost before committing. As a rough starting point: from $1,800 for a starter store, up to $5,500 for a larger or custom build.

Yes — this is one of the things we focus on most, because most generic store builders treat it as an afterthought. We set up local payment options like SINPE Móvil alongside card payments in both colones and dollars, so local and international customers can both check out comfortably. Everything runs through a secure, PCI-compliant gateway.

It comes down to how hands-on you want to be. Shopify is faster to launch and easier to maintain, with less technical upkeep. WooCommerce gives you more control over design and content — great if you also want a strong blog or specific customizations. We'll tell you honestly which one fits your products and budget.

Often, yes. A store that gets traffic but no sales usually has a problem in one of a few places: a clunky checkout, missing payment methods, slow loading, or a catalog that's hard to browse on a phone. We figure out what's losing you sales, then decide whether it needs a redesign or a migration to a better-performing setup.

Yes — your store is set up to accept international cards in dollars as easily as local payment methods in colones, with clear pricing so a visiting customer never has to guess what they're paying. If you sell products tied to tourism, this dual setup lets you capture both local and visitor sales from the same store.

We set your store up so you're not stuck calling us for routine changes. Adding a product, updating a price, or adjusting stock happens through a simple dashboard, no code required, on Shopify or WooCommerce. We also walk you through it after launch, so you're comfortable running the day-to-day yourself.

Yes — for tourism businesses this comes up a lot, selling gear or merchandise alongside booking a tour or class. We can build this as a custom setup that handles both a shopping cart and a booking flow on the same site, instead of running two systems that don't talk to each other.

Most stores take [ 4–8 weeks ] from our first call to going live, depending on how many products you're listing and how quickly we get your product photos and descriptions. Larger catalogs or custom integrations can take longer. You'll get a firm timeline in your quote.

Yes — and in Costa Rica it's genuinely worth doing. We build storefronts in English, Spanish, or both, with real copywriting in each language rather than automatic translation, so product descriptions read well and nothing gets lost for either your local or international customers.

You won't be left to figure it out alone. We provide ongoing support after launch specifically for things like checkout or payment issues, since those directly cost you sales the longer they're broken. We aim to respond quickly, because a few hours of broken checkout means real lost revenue, not just an inconvenience.
