    Custom eCommerce Development vs. Open Source Platform

    By admin April 08, 2022 1592 Views

    Choosing the right platform and thinking through the available options for starting your new online store is important to kick-start your eCommerce business. The choice of platform depends on various business models, the online store’s size, and your specific goals as a business person. As a business owner, you should carefully know about the pros and cons of all platforms available and choose the best one that fits your business. Read the article to know more about the differences between custom eCommerce development and open-source platforms to design online stores for your business.

    Requisites for an Ideal eCommerce Platform

    Any eCommerce store is designed to convert the traffic to sales and streamline the path as much as possible so that your customer has a seamless journey while visiting your online store. Some of the features to add to your eCommerce website to generate more leads.

    • Effortless navigation for the customer
    • Similar experiences in all channels
    • Comprehensive product descriptions
    • Quick response for online chats
    • Shipping and tracking details
    • SEO optimization

    Custom eCommerce Development

    In custom eCommerce development, there is a chance to create a unique platform with intuitive UI that is always aligned with your business requirements. The downside is that you will initially have to purchase cost-intensive software, tools, and other resources and hire teams of developers and testers.

    Open Source Platforms

    If you choose a resource-intensive open-source, you’ll eventually need to buy more powerful servers. Open source platforms are free codes available for anyone who intends to edit them without restrictions or license fees. In free sources also, you might be required to pay fees for additional features that you might require for your online store.

    Custom eCommerce Development vs. Open Source Platform

    Here are some of the features that help in choosing between custom and open-source platforms for designing your online store

    1. Cost To Launch Site

    Cost is the most important thing in choosing the right platform for your online store. The cost of using open source is very less when compared with custom development. If you have found a suitable open-source platform with all your needs satisfied, you can opt for it by paying for a developer or web designer.

    2. Cost and Set-up Time

    An open-source platform like Magento is free, and there is a need to pay for additional subscriptions, but one can get everything from the free version. There is a need to pay for monthly subscriptions to custom eCommerce development platforms, and it is not that easy to use these platforms. For using these platforms, there is a need for additional assistance. If you need to start selling your products quickly – a third-party solution will allow you to set up your store in no time.

    3. Customizations and Extensions

    The cost for customization in open source is not less than the custom-developed ones. Even if you get some ready plugins to meet your requirements which may or may not be free, that also brings a good enough maintenance cost and its issues.

    4. Maintenance of Site

    Every software needs maintenance, and open source solutions need more maintenance than custom-developed websites. Several of those updates are security updates that you must install. So you need regular support from your developer to install these updates, which will attract cost at intervals. This cost increases with the number of plugins installed and customizations done.

    5. Technical Experts Need

    There is no need for dedicated technical experts in the open-source as all the code is available instantly. There is scope for continuous code enhancement due to the growing developer base. A dedicated team of developers is responsible for designing your online store in custom development. The developers are responsible for end-to-end development, implementation, support, and maintenance services.

    6. Security for Site

    eCommerce sites are the most attacked sites on the Internet, and there is also a need to provide security for the online information of your clients. Both custom and open-source development are best in providing security. Custom platforms offer reliable support and give a smooth experience without any issues. In the case of open-source, merchants have full control of the security and allow them to optimize it in various ways.

    Which Platform to Choose?

    Choosing the required platform for your eCommerce store depends largely on your requirement and decides an online store’s failure or success. The above information can help clarify the two types of solutions and help you decide which type of solution better fits your business. For finding additional assistance for your project, you need to take the help of professional eCommerce development experts.

    Conclusion

    For developing an eCommerce site for your business, there is never a wrong choice in choosing the right platform for your online store. The above points can help you find the appropriate eCommerce platform for your business needs. Suppose you are a business owner looking to develop an online store and have difficulty finding an appropriate eCommerce platform for your online business store. In that case, you need to take the help of an expert designer. At Ayatas Technologies, we have top-notch eCommerce developers who have experience developing an online store to increase revenue from your business.
