Ecommerce, SEO and platform decisions — explained
Ecommerce website Ireland — frequently asked
How much does an ecommerce website cost in Ireland?
A production-ready Irish ecommerce website with Digital Bridge starts from €5,000 for a Shopify or WooCommerce build with up to 25 products, Stripe & Revolut payments, Irish shipping zones, VAT rules and on-page SEO. Larger stores (custom design, 100+ products, wholesale/B2B logins, multi-currency, ERP or accounting integrations) are scoped individually and typically range €7,500–€15,000. There are no monthly platform lock-ins beyond your Shopify / hosting subscription, and you own the store outright.
Which ecommerce platform is best for a small Irish business — Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify is the fastest, most reliable option for most Irish SMEs — payments, hosting, security and updates are handled for you, and it integrates cleanly with An Post, DPD and Revolut. WooCommerce (on WordPress) is better if you already run a WordPress site with strong SEO, or if you need heavy customisation and want to avoid Shopify's transaction fees. During the free scoping call we recommend the platform that matches your product count, technical comfort and growth plan — not the one with the highest referral fee to us.
How long does it take to build an ecommerce site in Ireland?
A standard Digital Bridge ecommerce build takes 4–6 weeks from kickoff to launch, assuming products, photos and copy are ready. Custom design or 100+ product catalogues stretch to 6–10 weeks. We work in weekly sprints with a shared roadmap so you always know what's landing when.
Do you set up Stripe, Revolut and Irish payment methods?
Yes. Every store we launch accepts Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Apple Pay and Google Pay via Stripe. We also add Revolut Pay and Klarna where they help conversion, and configure Irish VAT (23% standard, 13.5% reduced, 9% food-service) on the platform side so your accountant is not chasing manual fixes at year end.
Will my ecommerce site rank on Google?
Yes — on-page SEO, product-level schema, sitemap, Search Console setup and Core Web Vitals tuning are included in every ecommerce project. For competitive niches (fashion, supplements, homewares) we recommend adding our SEO retainer from €299/month to keep publishing category content, chasing backlinks and monitoring rankings — otherwise you launch fast but stall against bigger competitors.
Can you migrate my existing shop from Wix, Squarespace or an older WooCommerce site?
Yes. We migrate products, customer accounts, order history and URLs, and put 301 redirects in place so you keep the Google rankings you have already earned. A typical Wix / Squarespace → Shopify migration for 50 products takes 2–3 weeks and is quoted flat, not hourly.
Do you handle shipping and delivery integrations for Irish sellers?
Yes. We configure An Post, DPD, Fastway and Nightline rate cards, add click-and-collect if you have a physical shop, and set up tracking notifications so customers know exactly when their order is on its way. International shipping and DDP customs for EU/UK buyers can be enabled during scoping.
What's the difference between your service and hiring a freelance Shopify developer?
A freelancer usually delivers a working shop. Digital Bridge delivers a working shop plus the SEO, schema, analytics, conversion optimisation and content plan that determines whether the shop actually sells. Our English-language ecommerce guidance page currently outranks most Irish agencies for 'ecommerce website design ireland' — that is not an accident, it is the SEO layer we build into every project.
