thing is for better experience and reference do competitor’s analysis.

why they are the first choice for buyers.

reference and try to create your own better ideas and design. For
better ideas do the deep study of the best eCommerce applications
and see what and how they are offering for the customers.
You can follow their marketing strategies, how they are promoting
their application and using keywords to target the audience.

Do this step very carefully because it’s time to determine the future
scope of the application. You don’t want to make an app just like
Amazon but better than this. For building an outstanding application
user-friendly features are essential.
Don’t try to make an application that forces the visitors to click on
your site. Just make a simple application that will be easy to use for

customers.

future technologies. You must be aware of the latest technologies
and try to implement your application over it.

about Technology Stack. Technology stack will give you the
knowledge about the framework, frontend technologies, backend
technologies, databases, programming languages and server-side
languages.

10. Make sure the registration form of your application must be easy to
fill. Try to keep the registration process very easy and integrate it
with social media accounts so that users can easily do registration
and login with their social media accounts such as Twitter,
Facebook, and Gmail.
Support multiple payment options
If you want to run longer in the market then build application
according to customer’s satisfaction. Nowadays many payment

11. options are available and everyone uses different payment methods
for online payments.
The online payment method is a very sensitive part of an
eCommerce application. You must include secure payment methods
in your application that can accept payment through credit card,
debit card, net banking, e-wallets and cash on delivery.

12. Implement notification option
To continue the customer’s engagement with your eCommerce
website the “Push-Notification” is a key!
Each customer has their specific needs and requirements and it’s
your duty as a website owner to fulfill their requirements. With the
help of notification, your customers can be aware of the daily
activities of your website such as, sale, discounts, relevant products,
promotions, and offers to bring back the customers on your site.
A feedback section
The best way to find out our mistakes is feedback. Implement a
rating and review section on your website, you need to get an idea
about the positive and negative side of your site.
Customer’s satisfaction and feedback is the crucial section to
determine the performance of the website. Make the strength for all
negative feedback of the customers and rectify the issues to improve
your website functionality.
Wish-list Button

13. Wish list button plays an important role in all the eCommerce
website. It helps your customers to add the items to purchase later.
This feature is helpful for those customers who don’t want to miss
the current deal.
If customers found something but don’t want to purchase it at
present but after a week then the wish list button is a better option.
Search Feature
This is very important to make your online eCommerce app with an
embedded search feature. It allows any customer, visitor or user to
search their desired product instantly. Depending on customer
searches, you can show relevant search results for the customers for
better experience and engagement.
Ineffective search results may result in lose your big customer that is
why try to make the search feature more smart and relevant.

Development Cost of an eCommerce
application:
The budget is a major thing while developing an eCommerce
application. You need to decide how much you are investing and for
whom you are investing? Both the things are in your hand, but
before making any decision try to do a proper budget analysis.

15. Points for you to remember while going
forward to develop an eCommerce
application:
These are a few points that determine the cost of developing an
eCommerce application.
Features and Functionality
The first criteria of application development is functionalities and
features. It depends on you what kind of features you want like
simple, or advance?
Simple & Essential features:
The mandatory features to develop an eCommerce application are:
● User Login and Signup option
● User profile
● Product Categories
● Checkout Process
● Search bar

16. ● Payment Gateway
If you want simple features in your eCommerce application then the
cost of building an application with basic e-commerce features then
the cost will be less for both IOS and Android.
Advance Features:
If you want an application with advanced features like:
● Chatbox
● Product Reviews & Ratings
● Push Notification
● Social Media Integration
● Product filter
● Multiple Payment Options
● Wishlist Button and many more.
The cost of eCommerce applications with the above features might
be higher. We recommend you to start with the basic application and
once you can get the traffic and customer’s feedback then go for the
advance features.

17. The platform IOS or Android
The platform such as Android, IOS, etc. depends on the targeted
audience and business type. Selecting a platform means the
selection of income areas. As we know more than 80% are android
users and rest are iPhone users.
Hence, Android will help you to reach border audience and IOS have
a higher customer lifetime value because IOS users generally have
higher education levels, higher income and more engagement that
means more profit to your business.
Wireframe
Wireframe is the rough sketch or aspect of an app that can be
implemented first. It’s a visual architecture of the application layout.
The cost of wireframes depends on the application, for a simple
application that have only 2-3 pages the cost of wireframe is less

18. than $500 and for complex applications that have more than 3 pages
the cost up to $1,500 depending on the number of pages.
App Design
The designing cost of an application depends on the scalability,
flexibility, performance, and versatility. Average cost of application
design falls between $2,000 and $35,000
Developer Cost
The development cost of your application depends upon the number
of developers, app size, and functionality. Depending on different
parameters an app development cost in between $1000 and $100,000.
Maintenance
Application maintenance is important because Apple and android
often update its system. To make your app work properly after
system updates, you need to determine the cost of further
modifications and maintenance for your eCommerce application.

19. The maintenance budget of any eCommerce application varies from
20% to 30% of your full app development budget. Suppose your total
app development cost is $100,000 then your maintenance cost will be
$20,000.
