10. Third-party integrations
When creating a custom e-commerce website, you will need some
third-party services. At least, you should make the integration with
a payment gateway, for example, Stripe, PayPal, or Braintree that
will process electronic transactions and protect payment data.
There are many 3rd party integrations that you can leverage on the
web platform. For example, you can connect Twilio, a cloud
communications platform that enables businesses to interact with
customers via emails, text messages, phone calls, AI-based chatbots,
and other ways.
We also recommend you to use Google Analytics that allows tracking
and analyzing user behavior in real-time. Google Analytics gives
information on the number of site visitors for different periods,
cities, and countries, bounce rate, the length of sessions, user
age, etc.
Time:
16 hours per one third-party service (on average); we will count 2
third-party services for the cost of an e-commerce website, which is
32 hours.
