What drives the price

- Shipping rules, especially for bulky items or regional WA delivery.
- Integrations with accounting, stock or marketing tools.
- Paid apps, which add monthly fees.
Don't forget SEO
A store that nobody finds sells nothing. Collection pages and product descriptions need to be written for what customers search. Ask any builder how they handle this.
