Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most popular questions
The price depends on the platform, the number of products and the complexity of integrations. A small Shopify or WooCommerce store with basic design and LiqPay plus Nova Poshta integrations is one price tier. A custom headless store on Next.js with 1C/BAS, multilingual support, loyalty programme and complex filters is significantly more. I do not quote 'an average price' because it is dishonest. I start with a free consultation, lock the scope into stages and prepare a detailed estimate, so an Ivano-Frankivsk client knows exactly what they buy and what it costs.
It depends. Shopify suits a fast launch when you do not have an in-house IT team and plan to sell internationally — payments, shipping and infrastructure are ready. WooCommerce works if you already have a WordPress site and a team familiar with it: the store is added as a module. Next.js headless commerce is for businesses that want maximum speed, custom UX and full independence from platform templates. I do not 'sell' one platform — I evaluate your case on the consultation and recommend the most appropriate option.
A Shopify or WooCommerce store with basic design and 100–300 products launches in 4–8 weeks. A custom Next.js store with 1C/BAS integration, multilingual UI, customer dashboard and loyalty programme takes from 10 weeks up to several months, depending on scope. Timelines also depend on content readiness: product photos, descriptions, categories. If you have 500 SKUs without photos or copy, content production takes longer than development itself. We discuss this honestly during discovery and plan parallel work for the content team.
Yes, this is baseline for any Ukrainian store. Through the official Nova Poshta API I plug in city and branch autocomplete in checkout, real-time delivery cost calculation, one-click waybill generation from the admin and parcel status tracking. Same for Ukrposhta in regions where customers prefer it. If you ship fragile goods (honey, wine, ceramics) I configure shipping type restrictions (fragile, glass, oversized) to minimise damage. It all runs automatically without manual data copying.
The standard set for Ukraine is LiqPay, Fondy and WayForPay. I usually plug in one or two providers (in case one has an outage). For international buyers I add Stripe — important for Sub-Carpathian wineries and meaderies that sell to tourists and export. All payment providers connect via official APIs with 3D Secure and PCI DSS compliance. I never store card data on the client server — processing happens on the gateway side. This is both secure and removes extra regulatory burden from you.
Yes — a frequent request from Ivano-Frankivsk clients, since most of the local business runs accounting in 1C or BAS. I build two-way integration via REST API or CommerceML file exchange (the 1C standard). Products, prices and stock pull from 1C/BAS into the site automatically; orders from the site land in the right 1C/BAS documents. Sync frequency can be tuned (every 5 minutes, hourly, once a day) depending on load. If the client already has an integrator handling 1C/BAS, I work alongside them.
Yes. For Sub-Carpathian wineries, meaderies, craft brands and tour companies, bilingualism is effectively a must-have. In Next.js I use built-in i18n with /uk and /en prefixes, separate URLs for SEO and proper hreflang tags. Product cards, categories, static pages, order emails and status messages — all in two locales. Translation is done by the client editor or my translator partner, not by Google Translate. A foreign tourist buying Carpathian wine sees real English, not 'Wine of the strong taste from grandfather Vasyl'.
Around 70% of Ivano-Frankivsk online buyers come in from mobile. So I build stores mobile-first: UX is designed for the smartphone first, then adapted to tablet and desktop. Product cards are sized for thumb taps, filters live in a bottom sheet, checkout is 1–2 steps with Nova Poshta autocomplete. Speed on 3G/4G in the Carpathians stays in the green Core Web Vitals zone: LCP under 2.5 s, INP under 200 ms. I test on real devices — from budget Androids to iPhone — not only in Chrome DevTools.
Yes — a classic Sub-Carpathian case. I configure the store like this: catalogue with categories (honey, mead, gift sets), cards with photos, descriptions and ingredients, LiqPay and Nova Poshta integration with a 'fragile, glass' shipping flag for bottles. If you sell alcoholic mead, I add age verification on entry (same for wineries). Bilingual UK/EN is configured separately because tourists from Bukovel often buy your honey after a tasting. Ukraine-wide delivery via Nova Poshta, international via Ukrposhta Express or Stripe with international shipping.
Yes, tour booking is a separate type of ecommerce I work with regularly in the Ivano-Frankivsk context. A tour shop looks different from a physical product shop: instead of a product card you have a tour card with dates, available seats, accommodation type and options (transfer, gear). Checkout includes date selection, number of participants and prepayment via LiqPay or Fondy. CRM integration (Bitrix24, RetailCRM) keeps all requests in one place for your manager. Bilingual UK/EN is mandatory because tours to Bukovel and Yaremche are actively bought by foreigners.
Yes — that is the whole point of the admin. Shopify and WooCommerce ship with this out of the box: your manager logs in, adds a product, sets a price, uploads photos and it goes live. For a Next.js headless store I use Strapi, Directus or a custom admin with the same UX. I also train your team — record a short video or run an online session showing how to add products, process orders, export Nova Poshta waybills and manage discounts. The instructions stay with you so a new employee can get up to speed without me.
The simplest way is to message me on the site, on Telegram or by phone. I schedule a free consultation online or, if you are in Ivano-Frankivsk, we can meet in person — I am often downtown, near the Town Hall, on Sheptytskoho or on Nezalezhnosti. We discuss your business, product range, target audience, current sales channels, rough budget and timeline. Then I prepare a short proposal with the recommended platform, scope and estimate. You can also explore my other Ivano-Frankivsk services: web development, web design, main service page.

Ecommerce Development Ivano-Frankivsk: Online Stores
Ecommerce in Ivano-Frankivsk: Market and Buyer Specifics
Ivano-Frankivsk is a city of about 238 thousand people, the centre of the Sub-Carpathian region, with a constant tourist flow heading into the Carpathians. That creates a unique ecommerce map: classic retail (apparel, kids, electronics, home appliances, building materials) coexists with niche producers carrying a Sub-Carpathian identity (honey, mead, Carpathian wines, artisan cheeses, woollen goods, ceramics) and tourism ecommerce (booking tours to Bukovel, Yaremche, Vorokhta and guesthouses in mountain villages).
Buyers vary too. Locals in the Centre, Kaskad, Maizli and Pasichna districts mostly buy from mobile, expect fast Nova Poshta delivery and pay via LiqPay or Fondy. Tourists passing through Ivano-Frankivsk on the way to the Carpathians buy on impulse — honey as a gift, local wine, craft souvenirs. Foreign visitors (thousands per year, especially in Bukovel) look for an English version and international shipping. Export B2B clients of manufacturers (woodworking, food industry) want a closed B2B portal with prices, orders and documents. So a templated 'Shopify in one evening' shop does not always cover the real needs of an Ivano-Frankivsk seller.
Which Stores I Build for Ivano-Frankivsk
The first big block is niche shops of Sub-Carpathian producers. Wineries, meaderies, cheesemakers, woollen and ceramics makers. Critical here: product photography (the product often sells through visuals — a beautiful wine bottle, a labelled honey jar), brand story (tourists do not buy 'just honey', they buy 'honey from a family living under Chornohora'), quality certificates (mandatory for alcohol), age verification (for alcoholic mead and wine), UK/EN bilingualism. Delivery via Nova Poshta with the 'fragile, glass' flag.
The second block is tourism ecommerce. Bookings for Carpathian tours, accommodation in Yaremche and Vorokhta guesthouses, Hutsul region excursions, hiking gear. Different checkout mechanics: date selection, number of participants, accommodation type, options. CRM integration (Bitrix24, RetailCRM) for managers handling requests. Prepayment via LiqPay or Fondy. Bilingualism is mandatory — foreign tourists actively book online.
The third block is classic retail: apparel, kids, electronics, home appliances, building materials. Needs a large catalogue, strong filters, 1C/BAS integration for accounting, stock sync, loyalty programme. Owners often have a physical showroom on Nezalezhnosti, Sheptytskoho or in Kaskad district — the site works as an omnichannel platform with 'pick up in store' option. The fourth block is B2B portals for manufacturers: woodworking, oil and gas equipment, food industry. Closed area with authentication, contractor pricing, documents (specs, certificates), ERP integration.
Platforms: Shopify, WooCommerce, Next.js Headless
I do not push one platform — I pick per case. Shopify when the client wants a fast start, has no IT team and plans international sales (Stripe out of the box, simpler tax and shipping). A frequent choice for Sub-Carpathian wineries and meaderies selling to the US, Canada and the EU. WooCommerce when the client already runs WordPress or has a content team familiar with it: the store plugs in as a module without breaking editor habits. Next.js headless commerce (with Shopify Storefront API, Saleor, Medusa or a custom backend) — for businesses needing maximum speed, complex UX, non-standard 1C/BAS integrations and full freedom from templates.
Speed is a separate topic. In Ivano-Frankivsk this is critical: many buyers come in from mobile on 3G/4G with patchy coverage in the foothills. So I obsessively keep Core Web Vitals in green: LCP under 2.5 s, INP under 200 ms, CLS under 0.1. Default Shopify themes often fail there at 6–8 seconds LCP — I rewrite the critical parts or move to Hydrogen (Shopify's Next.js stack) with static pages.
Integrations: Payments, Delivery, Accounting, CRM
Ukrainian ecommerce does not work without local integrations. The standard set I plug into Ivano-Frankivsk stores: LiqPay, Fondy, WayForPay for payments (usually two providers in case one has an outage), with Stripe added for international clients and export orders. Nova Poshta — city and branch autocomplete, cost calculation, waybill generation, tracking. Ukrposhta for regions and international shipping.
Accounting — 1C/BAS via REST API or CommerceML. Products, prices and stock pull from 1C/BAS; site orders land in the right documents. Sync interval — from every 5 minutes to once a day. CRM — Bitrix24, RetailCRM: all orders, calls and emails in one place, with assignment between managers. If the client has a call centre — telephony integration (Binotel, Phonet). Email — SendPulse, eSputnik, Mailchimp; SMS — TurboSMS, PrivatBank.
Content, SEO and Promotion
A store without content is an empty warehouse. I do not write copy for the client (that is a separate service), but I build the architecture so the content team can easily add products, categories, blog posts and sales. The admin is simple: a manager with a Stefanyk University or IFNTUOG degree who has never worked with sites can master it in a day of training. I record a short video and provide text instructions.
SEO is built into the architecture: clean URLs, Schema.org Product, Offer, Review, AggregateRating, sitemap.xml with priorities, hreflang for UK/EN, OpenGraph, clean headings. Keyword strategy for Ivano-Frankivsk queries is agreed with the client: from 'buy Sub-Carpathian honey', 'Carpathian wine online shop', 'Yaremche guesthouse booking' to brand and competitive queries. If the client already has an SEO specialist, I prepare the technical layer so they can work comfortably, no hardcoded hacks.
Support, Security and Scaling
A store is not 'delivered and forgotten'. It is always-on infrastructure that must run 24/7, especially in peak periods (Black Friday, pre-holiday weeks, Carpathian tourist season). I sign an SLA with response times for critical incidents, plug in monitoring (Sentry for errors, UptimeRobot for availability), regularly update dependencies and security patches. Backups — daily, stored in a different region. Security — HTTPS, WAF (Cloudflare or other), brute-force and bot protection, API rate limiting.
Scaling is when a winery store grows from 50 orders a month to 5,000 orders a month in peak weeks. A Next.js + headless commerce architecture scales horizontally without rewrites. A CDN (Cloudflare, AWS CloudFront) keeps static assets close to users. PostgreSQL with read replicas handles complex reporting. When the store becomes the core of the business, I help plan migration from a legacy platform without losing SEO equity or customer data.
How to Start the Project
Message me on the site, on Telegram or by phone. I schedule a free consultation online or, if you are in Ivano-Frankivsk, we meet downtown — near the Town Hall, on Sheptytskoho, in cafés around Rynok Square or near the Potocki Palace. On the meeting we discuss your business, product range, current sales channels, competitors, rough budget and timeline. I prepare a short proposal with the recommended platform, scope and estimate — no fluff, no templates.
