Scoping an eCommerce project properly upfront saves significant time and money downstream. A store’s requirements touch everything: product data structure, payment provider accounts, shipping carrier contracts, tax configuration, inventory management, and the ongoing marketing and SEO strategy. We walk through all of this in our discovery process so nothing is left as a surprise.

​
Step 1: eCommerce Discovery

We start with a structured discovery session covering your product range, catalogue size, pricing model (fixed, variable, subscription), target markets and languages, payment methods you need to accept, shipping carriers and zones, and any integrations with existing systems (inventory, ERP, POS). This session typically takes 60–90 minutes and produces a clear picture of what needs to be built.

​
Step 2: Platform and Architecture Decision

Based on discovery, we recommend a platform and architecture. For most Greek SME stores, WooCommerce on managed WordPress hosting is the right balance of capability and manageability. For higher-traffic stores, catalogues with thousands of SKUs, or brands that need a distinctive storefront, we recommend a headless architecture or a custom build.

​
Step 3: Catalogue Preparation

Before development begins, you’ll need to prepare or migrate your product data: titles, descriptions, images, categories, variants, pricing and stock levels. We provide a data template and can handle catalogue migration from existing platforms (Shopify, OpenCart, Magento, custom CSV).

​
Step 4: Build, Configure and Test

Development covers storefront build, product import, payment gateway setup and testing (using sandbox credentials), shipping rate configuration, tax rules, and SEO configuration. Every order flow is tested end-to-end before launch, including payment failures, out-of-stock states and email notifications.

​
Step 5: Launch and Post-Launch

We handle the production deployment and monitor the store closely for the first 48 hours post-launch. Payment gateway accounts need to be switched from sandbox to live — we coordinate this with you and run live test orders before formally signing off.

​
What You’ll Need Ready

  • Product data (titles, descriptions, images, SKUs, pricing, stock)
  • Payment gateway accounts (Stripe, Viva Wallet, PayPal — we can advise on setup)
  • Shipping carrier accounts and rate tables
  • VAT registration details for tax configuration
  • Brand assets and any existing design guidelines
