How much does an online store cost in Georgia?
At SureIT an online store starts at 4,500 ₾. That covers a custom design, product pages, a cart, card payments and an admin panel your staff can use. Below is what changes the price, how payments and delivery work in Georgia, and what the shop costs to run after launch.
What the starting price includes
A custom designed shop in 2 languages, product and category pages, search and filters, a cart, checkout with card payment, order emails to you and to the customer, and an admin panel where your staff add products, change prices and see orders.
Search engine setup is part of the price: page titles, descriptions, a sitemap and product data that Google can read, so your products can appear in search with their price.
What makes the price go up
The number of products is rarely the problem. Complexity is: products with many variants (size, colour, material), prices that differ per customer, gift cards, a loyalty programme, or a link to the stock and accounting software you already use, such as 1C.
Each further language costs 300 ₾. Writing product descriptions or photographing products for you is priced separately, because it depends on how many there are.
Card payments in Georgia
Customers in Georgia pay online by card through a bank's online payment service. Bank of Georgia and TBC both offer one to businesses. You sign the agreement with the bank, the money goes straight to your account, and we connect the shop to it.
The bank charges a small fee on each payment under your agreement. Ask your bank for its rate before you compare offers: it is the same whoever builds the shop.
Delivery
The shop can show delivery prices by city or by weight, offer pickup from your store, and pass the order details to the courier service you use.
Simple rules are quick to set up. A live connection to a courier's own system depends on what that courier allows, so we price it once we have looked.
Costs after launch
A shop has running costs: the domain every year, hosting, security updates, backups and the bank's payment fee. Our care plan, 120 ₾ a month, covers hosting, updates, backups and small edits.
A shop that is not updated becomes a security risk, because it handles customer data and payments. Budget for care from day one.
A shop platform or a custom shop?
Platforms such as Shopify charge a monthly fee and often a share of each sale, and you build inside their limits. A custom shop costs more at the start, has no monthly platform fee, and is shaped around how you sell.
If you sell a few products and want to start this week, a platform is a fair choice. If the shop is the business, a custom one pays back.
