Custom ecommerce platform — Solares.cl case

Third-party SaaS charges you a perpetual fee in exchange for your business

SaaS ecommerce platforms offer fast onboarding, at the cost of three things that hurt later: a perpetual monthly fee that never stops growing, dependence on third-party plugins to operate in LATAM (local payment gateways, electronic invoicing, shipping), and source code that's never yours. When you grow, the bill becomes unbearable and migration is a nightmare.

  • Perpetual monthly fee to third-party SaaS that grows with your sales.
  • Expensive plugins for local payment gateways, electronic invoicing and shipping — and many don't work well.
  • Your catalog, customers and data live in someone else's infrastructure.
  • Differentiation is hard: your store looks the same as your competitors'.

FAQ

Common questions we get

How is it different from a SaaS ecommerce platform?

SaaS platforms charge a perpetual monthly fee and the code isn't yours. Open-source self-hosted options require building the whole ecosystem with plugins (many paid). Our platform is your code from day 1, with native LATAM integrations and modern stack (Next.js + NestJS). You pay a fixed-price project, not a perpetual fee.

How long does a typical project take?

A store with catalog, checkout, local payments and multi-courier shipping: 8-12 weeks. If you need B2B, blog AI or custom integrations: 12-16 weeks. After the audit we deliver a closed timeline by milestone.

How much does it cost?

It's a fixed-price project, not a recurring fee. Price depends on scope (number of modules, integrations, design customization). After the audit we send a quote in 48h with scope, timeline and price — no surprises. Compared to premium SaaS platforms, ROI typically lands at 12-18 months.

What about post-launch maintenance?

Three options: (a) monthly plan with SLA where we operate the platform + updates, (b) full delivery and your team operates, (c) hybrid model. The platform runs on your infrastructure (AWS, Hetzner, etc.) — hosting costs are much lower than premium SaaS monthly fees.

Can you migrate my current store from a SaaS or open-source platform?

Yes. We have catalog extractors for the most-used open-source platforms (products, images, attributes, categories) and tools to map data from major SaaS platforms. We migrate customers, historical orders and SEO (301 redirects) so you don't lose ranking. Typical migration time: 2-4 weeks within the project.
