If you're selling standard products, use Shopify — it's faster and cheaper at launch. Build custom when you have unique product types, complex B2B pricing, subscription boxes, or marketplace features that Shopify can't support.
8% of e-commerce transactions fail on first attempt. Dunning emails, retry logic, and card update flows are required for subscription-based e-commerce and dramatically affect revenue.
60% of e-commerce traffic is mobile, but conversion rates are 3× lower on mobile vs desktop. Apple Pay and Google Pay integration can close most of this gap with 1-tap checkout.
Rough estimates per feature. Our fixed-price MVP bundles all of these — see the full E-commerce App cost guide.

Build custom when you have: subscription boxes, B2B pricing tiers, complex product configurators, rental or service-based products, a marketplace of multiple sellers, or need full control over checkout UX and data.
A custom e-commerce MVP (catalog, cart, Stripe, order management) costs $10,000–$25,000. A full Shopify-equivalent with all features costs $60,000–$150,000.
