Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most popular questions
A store on a packaged platform (WooCommerce or Shopify) with basic integrations starts at the level of a corporate site. A custom store on Next.js with a bespoke catalog, complex shipping, customer accounts and 1C sync is a different weight class. I always start with a free brief: assortment, volumes, growth plans, warehouse specifics. Then I provide a transparent estimate broken down by module, with no hidden fees during the build.
It depends on your case, not on trends. Shopify fits if you target international sales, have up to 5-10K SKUs and want a fast launch. WooCommerce is optimal for a small Ukrainian store with typical integrations. Custom Next.js makes sense when your catalog is non-standard (configurators, B2B pricing, complex shipping tariffs) or when you need top-tier speed and SEO. We compare options with numbers in the brief. Details are on my e-commerce services page.
Yes, Nova Poshta integration is a standard for Ukrainian stores and I deliver it on every project. Branches, parcel lockers and door delivery are pulled in, waybills generate from the admin panel, statuses sync automatically. Ukrposhta is handled the same way, which matters in regions where Nova Poshta has no presence. During spec we agree on tariff logic: free shipping above a threshold, split tariffs, dimensional weight calculation.
For Ukraine I usually use LiqPay, Fondy and WayForPay — each has its strengths in fees, payout cadence and available methods. LiqPay — simplicity plus Apple Pay/Google Pay. Fondy — flexible subscriptions and tokenization. WayForPay — strong split-payment support. For international sales I add Stripe. A single store can comfortably host multiple gateways and let the buyer choose. I help model which mix minimizes fees for your specific assortment.
Yes, and it is a frequent task for Chernihiv retailers and manufacturers. I set up two-way exchange: 1C/BAS pushes stock, prices and new SKUs to the site; the site pushes orders, payments and customer data back. Exchange runs over REST API or a Node.js middleware with a queue for reliability. If accounting is in RetailCRM or Bitrix24, we wire that in too — managers stay in their familiar tool while the site only feeds it with data.
Conversion is not one button but the sum of dozens of decisions. I start with an optimized checkout: minimum fields, guest checkout, address autofill via Nova Poshta API. Then fast product pages (LCP under 2.5s), honest photos and video, visible stock, ratings. After launch we run funnel analytics and A/B tests — adjusting cart triggers, testing promo banners, polishing the mobile experience where it actually moves the needle on sales.
Store SEO is its own discipline. I build in semantic HTML, structured data (Product, Offer, Review, BreadcrumbList), correct canonicals for filters, prioritized sitemap, hreflang for language versions. On the content side I help with category and product description templates that do not duplicate. The store ships with the foundation for organic growth — no need to re-engineer structure six months later.
Yes. A store is a living system: promotions, new assortment, payment API updates, Nova Poshta tariff changes. I offer monthly support with a fixed hours pool, uptime monitoring, backups, dependency updates and security. For critical incidents (like a broken checkout) I guarantee response within hours. This is non-negotiable: an hour of store downtime is lost revenue.
I know local specifics: post-war reconstruction-driven demand, agricultural seasonality of Chernihiv Region, the trade rhythm in Hollywood Mall and around Krasna Square. I am available for in-person meetings in the city and communicate directly, without project managers. Technically I match capital studios — same stack, security, testing — at more rational pricing without the two-tier account-management overhead.
Yes, this is a separate strand of my work. Many Chernihiv Region companies operated offline and are now expanding online via regional marketplaces, their own store and social channels. I help systematize this: one warehouse, one product database, sync to every channel via API. You stop duplicating work and gain unified reporting across all sales channels.
Yes. Beyond stores I build corporate sites, landing pages and web services. Often a store is just one part of the ecosystem, and the company also needs a full brand site with story, values and team. Details for that direction are on my web development in Chernihiv page. If you need both, I run them in parallel with a shared design system and unified analytics.
A warranty period during which I fix any bugs at no cost. Full Git access, admin panel documentation, content-manager guides, and contacts for every integrated service. The contract spells out timing, confidentiality and code IP transfer. You are not personally dependent on me — any other developer can pick up the project. That is a principle: I build a tool that belongs to your business, not a dependency.

E-Commerce Development in Chernihiv — Custom & Shopify | Oleksandr Filyuk
E-Commerce in Chernihiv: Engineering Approach Instead of a "Site with a Cart"
Over recent years e-commerce in Chernihiv has grown from an experiment into a primary sales channel for many companies. At Hollywood Mall it is now common to see a local brand running a full online store with nationwide delivery. Manufacturers from Novozavodskyi who used to sell only wholesale are launching retail online. Chernihiv Region farms are setting up direct-to-consumer sales without intermediaries. Tourist brands sell souvenirs and merch themed around the Chernihiv Detinets, Boldyna Hora and Alley of Heroes worldwide.
I am Oleksandr Filyuk, a web developer with 15+ years of experience and 130+ delivered projects. E-commerce is a separate, most complex strand of my work. A store is not just a website with a buy button. It is a system of dozens of components: catalog, filters, cart, checkout, payments, shipping, inventory, returns, analytics, antifraud, marketing. A flaw in any link, and you lose conversion or, worse, money. So I build stores as engineering systems, not as templated pages.
Platforms: When Custom, When Shopify, When WooCommerce
The first decision we make in the brief is what to build on. There is no universally best platform — only one that fits your case.
A custom store on Next.js, React and TypeScript is my number one choice for projects with non-standard catalogs, B2B pricing, configurators, complex shipping or top-tier speed requirements. It gives full control over UX, SEO and analytics but requires more investment and time. Excellent for manufacturers with proprietary products and scaling brands.
Shopify is optimal for brands with international ambitions, up to 5-10K SKUs and a desire to launch fast. The platform ships ready infrastructure: payments, shipping, APIs, themes. I help with theme customization, Ukrainian-service integrations (Nova Poshta, LiqPay) and rollout.
WooCommerce is a practical pick for a small Ukrainian store with typical integrations and a team comfortable in WordPress. I tune it for market reality: Nova Poshta, Ukrposhta, LiqPay, Fondy, WayForPay, 1C or BAS sync, security, performance.
Integrations: What Actually Makes a Store Work
A store without integrations is just a pretty catalog. Real value emerges where the site is seamlessly tied to logistics, payments and the accounting system.
Shipping: Nova Poshta is a standard. I wire the API so the customer sees real branches and parcel lockers at checkout, gets accurate cost and time estimates, and you generate waybills from the admin panel in one click. Ukrposhta is another mandatory channel, especially for small towns in Chernihiv Region. For larger cities I plug in courier services.
Payments: LiqPay for simplicity and Apple Pay/Google Pay. Fondy for flexible subscriptions and tokenization. WayForPay where split-payment support matters. Stripe for international sales. Multiple gateways can coexist on one store, and I help model the optimal mix by fee.
Accounting: two-way exchange with 1C or BAS is a key task for Chernihiv manufacturers and retailers. Stock, prices and new SKUs flow from accounting to the site; orders, payments and customer data flow back. Built over REST API or Node.js middleware with a queue. Same for RetailCRM, Bitrix24 and other CRMs.
Conversion: Dozens of Small Decisions
Conversion is not a magic "sell more" button but rigorous work along the buyer journey. I start with checkout: minimum fields, guest mode, address autofill via Nova Poshta API, visible shipping rules. Then product pages: fast LCP, honest photos, video galleries, visible stock, ratings, cross-sell. Cart with transparent promo logic and no last-step surprise fees.
After launch the equally important work begins: funnel analytics, A/B tests, bottleneck optimization. I help set up GA4, Hotjar and custom analytics in PostgreSQL so you see real numbers, not guesses.
Local Specifics of Chernihiv and the Region
Chernihiv and its region are a specific market. Strong agricultural seasonality: autumn — peak orders for ag-tech, spring — seeds and fertilizers. Demand for post-war reconstruction materials — hardware stores see strong online orders. Tourist souvenirs themed around Chernihiv Detinets and Boldyna Hora sell across Ukraine and abroad. Chernihiv-Muzyka instruments have a loyal pro audience.
Each segment has its own particularities: oversized-shipment tariffs, complexity of connecting to manufacturer accounting, B2B price tiers for wholesalers. I bake this into store architecture from day one — so you do not rebuild critical modules a year after launch.
