Building an online store — a guide

An online store is more than a catalog with a cart. It is a system that takes orders, collects payment and ships goods. Below is everything that goes into building a store in Serbia, what the price depends on and how long it takes.

What a serious store includes

  • Catalog with filters (size, color, price), search, categories.
  • Cart and checkout that don't lose the customer along the way.
  • Payment: cards and/or cash on delivery.
  • Couriers: integration with BEX, D Express and Pošta.
  • Platform admin for products, orders and stock.
  • Email automation (order confirmation, status).

Payments and couriers in Serbia

Most customers in Serbia still prefer cash on delivery, but card payments (through a bank or a payment provider) keep growing and look more professional. Integration with couriers means shipments are created and tracked automatically. For you, that means less manual work.

How much it costs and how long it takes

The price of a custom store depends on the number of products, the integrations (payment, delivery) and the design. You get a specific amount in a written quote once you answer a few short questions in the inquiry form. The timeline is roughly 6–10 weeks, and the exact timeline is stated in the quote.

You pay nothing up front: we first build the site at a preview address, you review it, and you pay before we launch it on your domain.

What you need before launch

  • A list of products with prices and photos.
  • How you deliver and which courier you use.
  • Whether you want card payments (you need an account with a bank or a payment provider).
  • Legal pages (terms, complaints). We help with templates.

Frequently asked questions

Can I add products myself?

Yes. The admin panel is part of the solution: you manage products, prices, stock and orders yourself, without a developer.

Do I need a registered business to sell online?

For legal sales and fiscalization, yes. On the technical side (fiscal receipts, eFaktura e-invoicing, terms), we guide you through what the site needs to support.

Are card payments required?

No. You can start with cash on delivery only and add cards later; the system is ready for both.
