E-Commerce FAQs
How much does an e-commerce website cost in Sri Lanka?

Which payment gateways work best in Sri Lanka?

Can you integrate my shipping and delivery partner?
Standard shipping zones or flat-rate rules are included in Online Store. Courier APIs, live rates, fulfilment systems and automated WhatsApp tracking require compatibility checks and a separate written scope.
Should I use WooCommerce, Shopify, or a custom e-commerce platform?
Platform fit depends on catalogue size, gateway eligibility, shipping, staff capability, subscription costs, ownership preferences and integration needs. SafeNet confirms the supported platform before implementation.
How long does it take to build an e-commerce website?
Usually planned for 6-8 weeks after the catalogue, policies, gateway approval and access are ready. Usually planned from 8-14+ weeks after discovery and written scope approval; complex integrations are estimated separately.
Do I need Sinhala and Tamil on my e-commerce site?

What about inventory management and stock tracking?

Can you help with WhatsApp Order Management?
The website package can include staff click-to-chat, but it does not include a WhatsApp API or AI order bot. Official API automation, catalogue messaging, order updates and system sync use a separate WhatsApp package and integration scope.

Plan the Store Economics Before You Build
A website does not guarantee revenue. Validate the offer, traffic plan, margin, fulfilment and staff ownership alongside the technical scope.
Demand
Qualified Traffic
How buyers will reach the store
Margin
Order Economics
Product, payment, delivery and return costs
Ops
Fulfilment Readiness
Stock, packing, support and reconciliation
SafeNet scopes and tests the agreed store journeys. Sales results still depend on the offer, traffic, pricing, fulfilment, customer service and market demand.
