Choose your eCommerce website based on where you sell

A business that sells mostly online does not have the same needs as a shop that sells mostly in store. The first needs a rich catalogue, apps and marketing. The second needs an eCommerce website that shares the inventory of its point of sale, so it never sells online a product that already left the store.

One inventory for the store and the site.

That is why we offer two paths for your eCommerce website: Shopify to sell online first, Astro with Square for businesses that already sell with Square. A third path, headless Shopify with Astro, serves stores that want the speed of Astro and the power of Shopify.

What the project includes

What building your eCommerce website includes

The catalogue. Products, variants, photos, descriptions and collections, organized for your customers and for Google.

Payment. Cards, Shop Pay or Square, Apple Pay and Google Pay: your eCommerce website accepts the payment methods your customers use.

Taxes and shipping. GST, QST and taxes from other provinces, in-store pickup, local delivery and carriers.

Inventory. On Shopify, inventory lives in Shopify. With Square, the eCommerce website reads the inventory of your point of sale: a sale in store updates the site.

Search and AI. URLs, tags, structured data and speed are set during the build, so your online store shows up in Google and gets recommended by AI.

Advertising feeds and tracking. The catalogue is connected to Google Merchant Center and Meta for your campaigns. Every purchase reaches GA4 with its value, so you know which channel brings you sales.

Definition

What is an eCommerce website?

An eCommerce website is a website where people can buy online: the customer picks products, pays and receives a confirmation without going through the phone or email. It is also called an online store or a transactional website. It runs on a commerce platform (Shopify, Square or another) that manages the catalogue, inventory, payment and taxes.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does an eCommerce website cost in Quebec?+

At Falia, an eCommerce website on Shopify is offered from $4,900. An eCommerce website built with Astro and connected to Square is priced on quote. The price depends on the number of products, the integrations and the design.

Shopify or Square: which one should I choose for my eCommerce website?+

Shopify is made for selling online first: a rich catalogue, apps, B2B and several markets. Square is made for selling in store first: if your point of sale already runs on Square, an eCommerce website connected to Square keeps a single inventory for the store and the site. We recommend one based on where your sales happen.

I already sell in store with Square. Can I sell online without changing my point of sale?+

Yes. We build your eCommerce website with Astro and connect it to Square: the site reads your products and inventory in Square. Payment also goes through Square. An online sale and an in-store sale draw from the same inventory.

How long does it take to build an eCommerce website?+

Allow at least two months. The time is shared on both sides: your products, your photos and your decisions count as much as our work.

Will I be able to update my eCommerce website myself?+

Yes. On Shopify, your products and pages are edited in the Shopify admin. With Astro, your products are managed in Shopify or in Square. The pages of the site are changed with AI and every change is approved by an expert.

Will my eCommerce website rank well in search?+

Search optimization is part of the project: URLs, collections, product pages, structured data and speed. See Shopify SEO and eCommerce SEO.
