## How much does an ecommerce website cost in Ireland?

Most Irish agencies quote €8,000–€20,000 for a custom ecommerce build. Our starting point is €5,000 because we use a pre-engineered stack (custom React + Stripe + headless CMS) that strips out the agency overhead — not because we cut corners. Complex catalogues, multi-currency, B2B portals or custom integrations are scoped on a fixed quote after a free 20-minute call.

| Engagement | From | Typical grant route |
|---|---|---|
| AI Feasibility & Readiness Assessment | from €5,000 | Eligible for the Enterprise Ireland Digital Discovery Grant at up to 80% funding, subject to Enterprise Ireland approval and company eligibility |
| Baseline production build | from €15,000 | Not typically grant-funded |
| Multi-system agent workflows | €25,000 to €60,000 | Not typically grant-funded |
| Enterprise / multi-department programme | €40,000 to €100,000+ | Not typically grant-funded |
| Managed operation & optimisation | from €149/month | Not typically grant-funded |
| Brochure / Presence | from €499 | Not typically grant-funded |
| Growth | from €1,500 | Not typically grant-funded |
| Authority | from €2,995 | Not typically grant-funded |
| E-commerce & custom platform | from €5,000 | Not typically grant-funded |

All figures are ex-VAT and fixed against a signed scope. Grant outcomes are decided by the funder, not by Digital Bridge.

## Shopify, WooCommerce or custom — which is right for you?

We're platform-agnostic and recommend the right tool for your scale. Shopify suits product-led brands that want to be live in weeks. WooCommerce suits content-heavy stores already on WordPress. Custom React + Stripe suits SMEs who want full ownership, top-tier speed and zero monthly platform fees — and that's where we shine.

## How long does an Irish ecommerce build take?

Starter sites launch in 3–4 weeks. Growth tier takes 5–8 weeks. Custom B2B builds are scoped per project — typically 8–14 weeks.

## Do you handle Irish VAT and EU OSS?

Yes. Every checkout we ship handles Irish 23% VAT plus EU One-Stop-Shop reporting for cross-border B2C sales.

## Can you migrate my existing Shopify or Wix store?

Yes — we migrate products, customer accounts, order history and SEO redirects from Shopify, Wix, Squarespace, BigCommerce or WooCommerce with zero downtime.

## Do I own my ecommerce website?

Completely. You own the codebase, the database, the domain and every customer record. Zero lock-in.

## Is the Grow Digital Voucher eligible for ecommerce builds?

Yes — up to €5,000 matched funding for eligible Irish SMEs. We handle the application paperwork.

## FAQ

### How much does an AI integration project cost in Ireland?

Digital Bridge prices AI work in bands: an AI feasibility assessment from €5,000 (grant-eligible), a baseline production build from €15,000, multi-system agent workflows at €25,000–€60,000, and enterprise programmes from €40,000 to €100,000+. Small-business website builds start at €499. Every engagement is fixed-price against a signed scope.

### How long does a production AI build take?

A feasibility assessment runs three to five weeks. A baseline production build typically runs eight to twelve weeks from signed scope to go-live, including a seven-day shadow-mode pilot before the system takes live traffic. Multi-system programmes are sequenced into phases so value lands before the full programme completes.

### Can Irish grant funding cover this work?

Often, yes. Enterprise Ireland's Digital Discovery Grant funds up to 80% of an eligible feasibility assessment, and Digital Process Innovation funds up to 50% of eligible implementation costs. Local Enterprise Office schemes cover smaller digital projects. Eligibility is decided by the funder, never by us.

### Who owns the code and the prompts?

You do. Every engagement transfers full source-code and prompt ownership on final payment. Systems run on EU-hosted infrastructure with provider training disabled and a signed data processing agreement. There is no vendor lock-in and no proprietary runtime you have to keep paying us for.
