Plan the complete order journey
An online store requires more than a product gallery. Customers need accurate prices, variants, stock information, delivery terms and a usable checkout. Start with a small representative product set, including an unavailable item and a product with sizes or colors, so the catalog design can be tested against real buying situations.
What to prepare and how to review the result
Agree how taxes, shipping charges, returns, cancellations and payment failures will be handled. Choose a payment provider that supports your business and market, then test successful and failed transactions in its testing environment. Verify stock changes, order notifications and refund handling. Measure completed orders and checkout abandonment, and separate delivery problems from website problems when reviewing results.
The final scope, cost, schedule and included files are defined in a written proposal before work starts. Use these points to explain your needs and compare proposals against the outcomes you require.
