Ecommerce Website Development in the Philippines

Ecommerce development in the Philippines runs from cheap template stores to seven-figure custom platforms. Ours start at ₱99,000: catalogue, checkout, GCash and Maya, COD workflow, hosting, a .com domain, company emails, training and one year of support. Pro is ₱149,000 and adds a branded Android app. Business is ₱199,000 and adds an iOS app as well, so you sell on both stores. You pay 50% down and the rest against milestones.

Shopify is fastest to launch and easiest to run, but you pay a monthly fee plus transaction fees forever and PH payment methods arrive through third-party apps. WooCommerce costs less to run and bends to any workflow, but somebody has to maintain it. Ours sits in between: a one-time build fee instead of a platform subscription, GCash, Maya and COD configured at launch, and the free lifetime AI assistant included. Hosting is free for your first year, then from ₱499 a month. We recommend based on catalogue size and the payment and courier setup you need.

Through a payment gateway. We handle payment gateway integration in the Philippines with PayMongo, Dragonpay, Maya Business and GCash, so customers pay by e-wallet, card, online banking or over-the-counter without leaving your store. You will need business documents for the merchant account approval — we build the technical side and walk you through the application. Gateway fees are charged by the provider per transaction and are separate from our build cost.

Yes. Marketplace integration keeps one stock count across your own store and your Shopee and Lazada shops, so a sale on one channel drops the quantity everywhere and you stop overselling. Orders can flow into a single dashboard for packing and dispatch. The point is margin: marketplace commission comes off every order there, while a sale on your own store keeps the full amount less the gateway fee.

COD is still the default for many Filipino buyers, so we build it properly. Orders above a limit you set trigger a confirmation step by SMS, Viber or Messenger before dispatch. Your admin panel books the courier — J&T, LBC, Lalamove or Grab for same-day Metro Manila runs — prints the waybill and tracks delivery, returns and remittance, so you can see your return-to-sender rate instead of guessing at it.

Generally yes. Selling online is treated like any other business: DTI registration for a sole proprietorship or SEC for a corporation, a mayor's permit from your LGU, and BIR registration for your receipts and returns. Payment gateways will ask for those documents before approving your merchant account. We build the store either way, but confirm the exact requirements with your accountant or your BIR RDO.

Yes. A dropshipping website in the Philippines needs three things done right: supplier data that keeps prices and stock current, delivery times stated clearly so customers are not surprised, and a checkout that handles GCash, Maya and COD. We build the store, connect the supplier and courier systems that expose an integration, and train the AI assistant to answer shipping-time questions before they turn into complaints.

Yes, though that is custom work rather than a package. Multivendor marketplace development covers vendor onboarding and dashboards, per-vendor product management, commission rules, splitting one order across sellers, and payout reporting. Timeline and cost depend on the rules you want, so we scope it with you and quote against milestones, outside the ₱99,000 to ₱199,000 packages.
