E-commerce setup: start selling with ikas or Shopify
Taking orders via Instagram DMs only goes so far. You don't need custom software to start an online store: I set up a ready platform like ikas or Shopify in your name, adapt the theme to your brand and connect payment and shipping.

E-commerce setup: from 22,500 TRY · excl. VAT
What the setup includes
Platform choice and setup
ikas or Shopify, depending on your business and budget. The store account is opened in your name.
Theme customisation
Logo, colours, home page and product page layout matched to your brand.
Payment and shipping
Payment provider and shipping integration; delivery and return settings.
In your name, handed to you
Store, domain and subscription are in your name. After setup, all access stays with you.
ikas setup: what's included and what the subscription costs
I open your ikas store in your name, adapt the theme to your brand, connect the payment provider and shipping, and set up categories and the number of products agreed in the quote. Setup starts at 22,500 TRY and takes 10–15 business days (excl. VAT).
The platform subscription is separate and paid directly to ikas in your name. As of September 2026 ikas has a free starter plan; the Lift plan lists at 48,000 TRY + VAT per year, lower during promotions. Prices change, so we check ikas's current page together before deciding.
Shopify setup service: for selling abroad
If you sell abroad, Shopify's multiple currencies, languages and large app store make life easier. The setup scope is the same: store in your name, theme, payment and shipping settings, core pages.
Shopify is priced in US dollars, so your cost in lira rises with the exchange rate, and apps can add monthly fees. That's why we work out the total monthly cost before setup.
Before you start selling online: the legal groundwork
Opening your own store brings obligations that selling on Instagram didn't: ETBİS registration, invoicing, a virtual POS application, and texts such as the distance sales contract, pre-information form and return policy. I recommend clarifying which apply to you with your accountant.
Virtual POS fees vary by provider and volume; the common range in 2026 is roughly 1.3% to 3.5%. I connect the provider you choose, with the contract in your name.
ikas or Shopify?
Both are good; it depends on where you sell.
- Selling in Turkey: ikas — Turkish admin panel, local payment and shipping options.
- Selling abroad: Shopify — multiple currencies and a large app store.
- Platform subscription and payment fees are yours; my fee is a one-off setup fee.
- If you don't need a store yet, I'll say so and suggest a one-page Showcase site instead.

Common mistakes when moving to e-commerce
Not calculating monthly costs
Subscription, app fees and payment commissions add up; the monthly cost can matter more than the setup fee.
Store opened in someone else's name
If the account belongs to whoever set it up, moving your products, customers and order history later gets hard.
Careless product photos
Customers can't touch the product; consistent light and background are what they look at before any description.
Starting too early
With a handful of products and orders flowing fine on WhatsApp, a subscription store may be premature. A one-page Showcase site (from 9,900 TRY) with a WhatsApp order button can do for a while.
E-commerce setup package
Setup, theme and integrations in one one-off fee. Prices are for 2026 and exclude VAT.
Questions about e-commerce setup
How long does an e-commerce setup take?
10–15 business days. It's quicker when product photos and descriptions are ready.
Is the monthly platform fee included?
No. The ikas or Shopify subscription and payment fees are paid directly to the platform, in your name. My fee covers the one-off setup.
Who uploads the products?
How many products I upload is set in the written quote before we start. After that, you add new products from the admin panel yourself.
Do you build custom e-commerce software from scratch?
For small businesses a ready platform is faster and safer, so I offer setup. If you have a special need, describe it on WhatsApp and I'll assess it honestly.
Is there a price difference between ikas and Shopify setup?
My setup fee starts at 22,500 TRY for both; the difference comes from product count and integrations. The real difference is the subscription: ikas is priced in lira, Shopify in dollars.
Do you handle ETBİS registration?
No. ETBİS registration, invoicing and tax are your business's obligations, handled with your accountant. I place the contract and information pages on the site; their legal content is your responsibility.
