E-COMMERCE PLATFORM
Which best describes your primary sales model and target audience?
Pure B2C / D2C (Direct-to-Consumer): Selling standard retail products directly to end customers.
Pure B2B (Business-to-Business): Selling to retailers, wholesalers, or distributors with custom pricing, purchase orders, and company accounts.
Hybrid (B2C & B2B): Selling to both general consumers and wholesale buyers from a unified system.
How many unique products (SKUs) do you plan to list, and how complex are their variations (e.g., color, size, custom configurations)?
Under 500 SKUs with standard, simple attributes (e.g., apparel with size/color).
500 to 10,000 SKUs with moderate product variations and attributes.
Over 10,000 SKUs (or up to millions) with highly complex configurations, dynamic bundling, or multi-dimensional attribute grids.
What is the level of technical expertise available within your internal team to manage and maintain the website?
Non-Technical: We have no developers. We need an intuitive drag-and-drop dashboard where our marketing/ops team can manage everything without writing code.
Moderate Technical: We have some familiarity with WordPress or web systems, and we can handle basic updates, but we rely on external support for major builds.
High Technical / Dedicated Devs: We have in-house developers or a dedicated IT department ready to manage code, server configurations, and system updates.
What is your realistic budget comfort zone for the initial development phase and ongoing annual maintenance (including hosting, licenses, support, and apps)?
Growth Tier ($5,000 - $20,000 setup / Low ongoing fees): We want a cost-effective setup and to pay only for the exact features we use.
Professional Tier ($20,000 - $60,000 setup / Standard SaaS monthly fees): We are ready to invest in a polished platform and accept predictable monthly operational costs.
Enterprise Tier ($60,000+ setup / Higher infrastructure and license fees): We are looking for an enterprise-level powerhouse and understand the associated hosting, licensing, and dev agency costs.
How deeply does your e-commerce system need to integrate with legacy backend systems (ERP, custom CRMs, warehouse management systems, proprietary APIs) or require highly bespoke layouts?
Standard / Off-the-Shelf: Standard templates and popular third-party app integrations (e.g., Mailchimp, QuickBooks Online, standard shipping apps) are perfect.
Flexible / Modular Customization: We want access to a vast ecosystem of open-source plugins to customize our user journeys, but nothing completely bespoke.
Total Architectural Control: We have custom legacy systems (e.g., SAP, Oracle, custom ERP) and proprietary business logic that requires complete custom API structures and deep database manipulation.
What is your target timeline for launching the new e-commerce storefront?
Urgent: We need to be live within 4 to 8 weeks.
Planned: We are aiming for a realistic launch in 3 to 4 months.
Strategic: This is a comprehensive digital transformation project; we expect a detailed roadmap of 6 months or more.
Do you plan to operate multiple storefronts across different countries, brands, or languages from a single admin panel?
Single Storefront: Focused on one primary region/currency with standard translation options.
Standard Multi-Regional: We sell globally and need automatic currency conversion and basic multi-language capability on our single site.
Advanced Multi-Store / Multi-Brand: We operate multiple distinct brands or separate regional entities, each requiring localized catalogs, distinct inventory rules, and custom domain roots managed centrally.
How critical is content marketing, blogging, and brand storytelling to your customer acquisition strategy?
Secondary to Commerce: Our focus is purely transactional. Clean product grids, seamless checkout, and search-and-filter are our top priorities.
Balanced: We need solid content pages, but product performance and transaction flows are still the core focus.
Content-First Commerce: Our brand relies on complex layouts, media-rich editorial blogs, custom landing pages, and educational hubs closely integrated with our store.
How do you want to handle web hosting, server security, PCI compliance, and platform upgrades?
Hands-Off (SaaS): We want the platform to handle security, hosting, speed optimization, and automatic core updates. We do not want to worry about servers crashing during traffic spikes.
Self-Managed / Control: We want to choose our own hosting environment (e.g., WP Engine, SiteGround) so we have full control over our site data, database backups, and when we apply updates.
High-Performance Enterprise Infrastructure: We require dedicated cloud environments (AWS, Azure, Adobe Commerce Cloud) designed specifically to handle massive concurrent traffic, configured exactly to our specifications.
If you sell B2B, which of the following features are absolutely mandatory for your daily operations? (Check all that apply)
Not Applicable: We do not sell to businesses/wholesalers.
Basic Wholesale: We just need password-protected wholesale pages or simple discount tiers for specific customer tags.
Advanced B2B Workflows: We require quote management (Request for Quote), quick-order bulk grids, company-level accounts with parent-child permissions, net-payment terms, and customized customer price books.
