Australian nopCommerce Gold Partner

nopCommerce Development Australia

Build, improve or take over your nopCommerce store

Whether you're starting a new ecommerce project, improving an existing nopCommerce store or looking for a new development partner, CoSource can help.

We're an Australian nopCommerce Gold Partner specialising in custom development, B2B ecommerce, integrations, migrations and existing nopCommerce solutions.

We won't automatically recommend rebuilding what you already have. We'll first understand your store, your business systems and what you're trying to achieve.

nopCommerce development that fits the business

nopCommerce is a flexible ecommerce platform, particularly when your online store needs to do more than simply take payments.

It can be a good fit when you need to:

  • Sell directly to consumers
  • Sell to business or trade customers
  • Offer customer-specific or wholesale pricing
  • Integrate ecommerce with an ERP or accounting system
  • Synchronise products, stock and orders
  • Support multiple stores or customer groups
  • Build functionality specific to your business
  • Retain control of your source code and platform

Our role is to work out which parts can use standard nopCommerce functionality and where custom development genuinely adds value.

How can we help?

Most nopCommerce projects we see fall into one of three categories.

Build or extend

You're building a new nopCommerce store or adding functionality to an existing one.

We can help with:

  • New nopCommerce implementations
  • Custom functionality
  • Themes and frontend development
  • B2B ecommerce
  • Custom plugins
  • Payment and shipping requirements
  • ERP and accounting integrations
  • Data migration

Take over an existing store

Your store already works, but the original developer is no longer available or you're looking for a new development partner.

We'll get familiar with the existing solution before making recommendations. That may involve reviewing:

  • Existing source code
  • Custom plugins
  • Theme customisations
  • Hosting
  • Payment and shipping integrations
  • ERP or CRM integrations
  • Deployment process
  • Known issues and technical debt

The objective is to get the store into a position where it can be confidently supported and extended.

Migrate to nopCommerce

You're currently using another ecommerce platform but need more control or greater integration with your existing business systems.

We can help determine what should move, including:

  • Products and categories
  • Customers
  • Pricing
  • Orders
  • Images and documents
  • SEO URLs
  • Business rules
  • External integrations

Before recommending a migration, we'll also make sure nopCommerce is actually the right platform for what you need.

nopCommerce Pricing

What does a nopCommerce project typically cost?

Every ecommerce project is different, but you should still be able to get a reasonable idea of the likely investment before starting a lengthy sales process.

We generally recommend starting with a focused Version 1 containing the functionality you genuinely need, rather than trying to build every future feature before launch.

The following ranges are intended as a practical guide.

Essential nopCommerce Store

$10,000–$15,000 + GST

Typical delivery: 2–3 weeks

A good starting point when you need a professional ecommerce store using mostly standard nopCommerce functionality.

A typical Version 1 may include:

  • nopCommerce setup and configuration
  • Theme installation and brand styling
  • Product catalogue and categories
  • Search and standard filtering
  • Customer accounts
  • Shopping cart and checkout
  • Payment gateway
  • Shipping configuration
  • Mobile-responsive storefront
  • Basic content pages
  • Testing and launch

Best suited to: businesses that want a solid ecommerce store without significant custom development.

Custom nopCommerce Store

$15,000–$25,000 + GST

Typical delivery: 3–4 weeks

For businesses that need more than a standard ecommerce implementation.

A typical Version 1 may include:

  • Everything required for the core ecommerce store
  • More customised design and layouts
  • Product or customer data migration
  • Custom product functionality
  • Additional checkout requirements
  • Advanced filtering
  • Custom business rules
  • Additional payment or shipping requirements
  • A straightforward external integration
  • Custom nopCommerce development

Best suited to: businesses with established ecommerce requirements that need a tailored solution rather than a standard store.

B2B & Integrated nopCommerce Store

$20,000–$35,000 + GST

Typical delivery: 4–6 weeks

For businesses selling to trade or business customers, or where ecommerce needs to connect with existing operational systems.

Business to Business (B2B) means selling primarily to other businesses, such as wholesalers, distributors, dealers, retailers or trade customers.

A typical Version 1 may include:

  • Business or trade customer accounts
  • Customer-specific pricing
  • Wholesale or volume pricing
  • Account purchasing
  • Purchase orders
  • Quotes
  • Customer groups
  • Product and inventory synchronisation
  • Order integration
  • ERP, accounting or business-system integration
  • Custom B2B rules
  • Custom nopCommerce functionality

Best suited to: wholesalers, manufacturers, distributors and businesses where ecommerce needs to work with existing back-office systems.

Complex Ecommerce Platform

From $30,000 + GST

Typical delivery: 6+ weeks

Some ecommerce projects involve significantly more integration or customisation.

Examples include:

  • Multiple system integrations
  • Complex ERP integration
  • Large or difficult data migration
  • Multiple stores
  • Multiple countries or currencies
  • Significant existing custom code
  • Complex B2B workflows
  • Approval processes
  • Bespoke ecommerce functionality

For projects at this level, the best first step is usually a nopCommerce Project Plan.

Start with Version 1

You don't need to build everything on day one.

We generally recommend identifying the functionality that creates the most immediate business value and making that the first version.

Other functionality can then be added as the platform evolves.

This can mean:

  • Lower initial investment
  • Less project risk
  • Earlier customer feedback
  • Clearer priorities
  • More flexibility over future development

For example, a business might launch initially with its catalogue, checkout, customer pricing and essential ERP integration, then add reporting, workflow automation or secondary integrations later.

The objective is not to build less. It is to build the right things first.

nopCommerce Project Plan

Turn your requirements into a clear Version 1

$2,760 + GST

If you're not yet certain exactly what should be included, we'll work with you to turn the requirements into a practical project plan.

We'll look at what you're trying to achieve, what systems you already use and which functionality is genuinely required for Version 1.

Your nopCommerce Project Plan will cover:

  • Recommended Version 1 scope
  • What should be included now
  • What can reasonably wait until later
  • Key ecommerce functionality
  • Integration requirements
  • Recommended technical approach
  • Major risks and assumptions
  • Refined development estimate
  • Recommended next steps

The objective is to give you enough clarity to make a confident decision about moving into development.

What affects the cost of a nopCommerce project?

The biggest difference between a simple ecommerce store and a more involved implementation is usually not the number of pages.

It is what happens behind the storefront.

Design and customisation

Using an established nopCommerce theme generally requires less development than creating a highly customised customer experience.

B2B requirements

Business ecommerce often needs more than standard retail checkout.

That can include:

  • Trade accounts
  • Customer-specific pricing
  • Volume pricing
  • Quotes
  • Purchase orders
  • Credit customers
  • Approval processes
  • Different products for different customers

Integrations

Connecting nopCommerce to other systems is often one of the most important parts of the project.

ERP / Business Management System

An ERP is software used to manage areas such as products, inventory, purchasing, orders, accounting or business operations.

Examples include:

  • Microsoft Dynamics
  • Pronto
  • SAP
  • Jiwa
  • MYOB Advanced

A typical integration might synchronise products and stock into nopCommerce and send ecommerce orders back into the ERP.

CRM / Customer Management System

A CRM is software used to manage customers, leads and sales activity. Examples include Salesforce, HubSpot and Microsoft Dynamics CRM.

Accounting

nopCommerce can also connect with accounting systems such as Xero or MYOB where appropriate.

Data migration

Moving an existing ecommerce operation may involve migrating:

  • Products
  • Categories
  • Customers
  • Pricing
  • Orders
  • Images
  • Documents
  • SEO URLs

The amount of work depends heavily on the quality and structure of the existing data.

Existing customisation

Taking over an established store may require us to first understand custom plugins, theme changes and integration code written by previous developers.

That's why we review what you already have before recommending major changes.

We won't recommend a rebuild unless you need one

After reviewing your situation, there are usually three sensible outcomes.

Improve what you already have

If the current nopCommerce implementation is fundamentally sound, we'll recommend keeping it and improving the areas that need work.

Take over the existing solution

If the platform works but you need a new development partner, we'll learn the existing codebase and take responsibility for ongoing development and support.

Move to a better foundation

If the existing system is genuinely holding the business back, we'll explain why an upgrade, migration or rebuild makes more sense.

The recommendation should be based on the business and technical situation - not on selling the largest project possible.

Existing nopCommerce store on an older version?

Older nopCommerce installations require a different approach.

If you're running nopCommerce 3.x or an early 4.x release, don't assume the solution can simply be upgraded in place.

Custom plugins, themes, framework changes and integrations all need to be considered.

We've created a separate service specifically for this.

How we work

1

Understand what you already have

If you already run nopCommerce, we'll look at the version, source code, plugins, theme, integrations and hosting. If you're starting something new, we'll focus on your business requirements and the systems the store needs to work with.

2

Decide what Version 1 actually needs

We'll identify what is essential to create value and what can sensibly be delivered later. This is where the nopCommerce Project Plan can be useful for larger or less-defined projects.

3

Build in manageable stages

Rather than treating the project as one huge release, we work through clear priorities and keep the focus on useful outcomes.

4

Keep the solution maintainable

We don't want the next developer to have to reverse-engineer everything from scratch.

We aim to leave:

  • Maintainable source code
  • Clear integrations
  • Sensible project structure
  • A record of important technical decisions
  • A platform that can continue to evolve

Frequently Asked Questions

Are you a nopCommerce Gold Partner?
Yes. CoSource is an Australian nopCommerce Gold Partner specialising in custom development, integrations and support.
Do you build new nopCommerce stores?
Yes. We can build a new nopCommerce implementation using standard functionality where appropriate and custom development where the business requires it.
Can you take over a nopCommerce store built by another developer?
Yes. We regularly work with existing software. We'll first review what is available, including the live store, source code, plugins, integrations and hosting, and then recommend the safest way forward.
What if we don't have the source code?
Talk to us anyway. The live store is enough to start the conversation. We can then establish what is available and what options you have.
Can you integrate nopCommerce with our ERP?
Yes. ERP and other business-system integrations are a common reason businesses choose nopCommerce. We'll first understand which information needs to move between the systems and how the existing ERP makes that information available.
Do you build B2B ecommerce stores?
Yes. nopCommerce can support B2B requirements such as trade accounts, customer groups, customer-specific pricing, tier pricing, purchase orders, quotes, multi-store and custom business rules.
Do you also build B2C ecommerce?
Yes. Business to Consumer (B2C) means selling directly to individual consumers online. We work with both B2C and B2B ecommerce requirements.
Can you migrate an existing ecommerce store to nopCommerce?
Yes. Depending on the existing platform, we can migrate products, categories, customers, orders and other important information. We'll first determine whether nopCommerce is the right destination rather than recommending a migration simply because it's the platform we work with.
How much does a nopCommerce project cost?
As a general guide: Essential nopCommerce Store $10,000–$15,000 + GST; Custom nopCommerce Store $15,000–$25,000 + GST; B2B & Integrated Store $20,000–$35,000 + GST; Complex Ecommerce Platform from $30,000 + GST. These are indicative Version 1 ranges rather than fixed-price quotations.
What is the nopCommerce Project Plan?
The Project Plan is for businesses that have a project in mind but need help defining exactly what should be built. For $2,760 + GST, we'll help define the recommended Version 1, integrations, technical approach, risks and refined development estimate.

You don't need a specification before talking to us

A URL and a short explanation of what isn't working - or what you're trying to build - is enough for the first conversation.

If you already have source code, integration documentation or existing requirements, that's useful.

But you don't need to prepare everything before contacting us.
