Quick answer
How much does an eCommerce website cost and what does it include?
An eCommerce website lets customers browse products, add to cart and pay online — requiring product management, payments, shipping and order handling. It is significantly more complex than a business website or product catalogue. Voyzen addresses full eCommerce through Enterprise or custom scope, not standard Starter/Business plans.

What eCommerce requires

- Returns, refunds and policy pages
- Security and PCI considerations for payments
- Ongoing maintenance — plugins, updates, fraud monitoring
When to start with something simpler
Many UAE businesses sell through WhatsApp, Instagram and in-person long before they need full eCommerce. A product catalogue website or business site with enquiry flows often launches faster and costs less — you can add eCommerce when order volume justifies the complexity.
A good fit when
- ✓You sell standard products at fixed prices to a broad online audience
- ✓Order volume justifies payment gateway fees and setup
- ✓You can handle shipping, returns and customer service at scale
It may not be necessary when
- —Sales happen through quotes and conversations
- —You are testing product-market fit with low volume
- —A catalogue with WhatsApp enquiry meets current demand
