Here are the factors to evaluate when you compare offers.
Payments
Fees are not part of development
Online payment fees affect the margin on every order, but not the cost of building the site: they are charged by the payment networks and the providers you choose.
The percentage and any fixed fees depend on your contract with the provider, the payment method and the type of card, so they should be compared before you activate the service. We integrate cards, PayPal and other methods into the checkout; the commercial choice stays with you.
We discuss this with companies in Como, Brianza, Milan and Lugano, from our studio in Cantù.

For assessments of fees and contracts we recommend also speaking to your own adviser. We take care of the integration, from our studio in Cantù (Como).

The return on an e-commerce site is calculated by comparing the revenue generated with all costs: development, management, fees, logistics and marketing.

Social campaigns for an e-commerce site are built by defining an audience, creating a message with product photos and videos and taking the user to the right product page.
