FAQ
Frequently asked questions about E-commerce Solutions
Should I use a platform like Shopify or build a custom store?
Platform solutions launch quickly and are simple to maintain, suiting merchants with a clear product structure and standard flows. A custom build suits businesses that need special checkout flows, complex membership schemes or deep integration with ERP or POS systems. Vendors will recommend based on how you operate.
Which payment methods common in Hong Kong can an online store accept?
Typically credit cards, PayMe, AlipayHK, WeChat Pay HK, FPS and Apple Pay. Vendors integrate these through a payment service provider, which charges its own transaction fees. Confirm the supported methods in the quotation.
What does an e-commerce quotation usually cover?
Usually store design, product catalogue, cart and checkout, payment integration, order management and basic logistics setup. Whether product data entry, photography, marketing tools and ongoing maintenance are included varies by vendor. As an indicative range, a platform-based store and a multi-warehouse project with ERP sync differ greatly in cost.
Can the store connect to my existing POS or inventory system?
Yes, provided your current system offers an API or import and export functions. List the system name and version in your brief so vendors can assess the integration approach and effort.
