Why Choose Us for Your Dominican E-commerce Store
We build e-commerce stores that are faster, cheaper to maintain, and more secure than WooCommerce or Shopify — designed specifically for how Dominicans shop online.
Built for Mobile-First Shopping
70% of Dominican online shoppers buy from their phone. Every store we build is designed mobile-first — fast loading on mobile data, easy thumb navigation, and streamlined checkout for smaller screens.
Zero Monthly Platform Fees
Shopify charges $39–$399/month. WooCommerce needs paid plugins and constant updates. Our Next.js stores have zero platform fees — you only pay for hosting ($25/month after the first free year) and PayPal's standard transaction fee.
3x Faster Than WooCommerce
Slow product pages lose sales. Our Next.js stores load in under 1.5 seconds and score 90+ on Google PageSpeed — compared to WooCommerce stores that average 3–5 seconds with dozens of plugins slowing them down.
Secure by Architecture
No WordPress plugins to hack, no database vulnerabilities, no outdated themes. Our headless architecture separates the storefront from the CMS, making your store inherently more secure than any traditional e-commerce platform.
How We Build Your Online Store
From product strategy to first sale — a clear process to get your Dominican business selling online.
Store Strategy & Planning
We map your product catalog, define categories, plan the checkout flow, and determine the best payment setup for your Dominican audience. You complete our project questionnaire and we scope the full build.
Store Design
We design your product pages, category layouts, shopping cart, and checkout experience from scratch — no templates. Two revision rounds to ensure the design converts browsers into buyers.
Development & Payment Setup
We build the store in Next.js, connect Sanity CMS for product management, integrate PayPal for secure payments, set up order notifications, and optimize every page for speed and SEO.
Testing & Payment Verification
We run test transactions, verify the complete purchase flow on all devices, test email notifications, and confirm everything works perfectly before a single real customer touches the store.
Launch & Training
We go live, set up your domain, and give you complete training on managing products, processing orders, and updating your store through Sanity CMS. Plus 30 days of support and 1 year of free hosting.

Frequently Asked Questions About E-commerce in the Dominican Republic
Everything you need to know about selling online in the Dominican Republic.
E-commerce integrations start at $900 as an add-on to a website project, or can be built as a standalone store. This includes product catalog setup, PayPal payment processing, shopping cart, order notifications, and an SEO-optimized store structure. All projects include one year of free hosting, two revision rounds, and 30 days of post-launch support.
We integrate PayPal, which accepts credit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), debit cards, and PayPal account balances from customers worldwide. PayPal is one of the most trusted and widely used payment processors in the Dominican Republic and is ideal for both local and international transactions.
Shopify charges $39–$399/month in platform fees plus transaction fees on top of payment processing. WooCommerce requires WordPress, dozens of plugins, constant updates, and is vulnerable to security issues. Our Next.js stores have zero monthly platform fees, load 3x faster, are inherently more secure, and you own the entire codebase — no vendor lock-in.
Yes. Every e-commerce store comes with Sanity CMS, where you can add, edit, and remove products, update prices, change descriptions and images, and manage your catalog — all without any coding knowledge. We provide complete training so you're confident managing your store from day one.
Yes. We build custom booking and reservation systems for tour operators, dive shops, photographers, event planners, and service businesses across the Dominican Republic. Customers can select dates, packages, and pay online through PayPal — we've helped a Punta Cana diving business increase booking conversions by 200% with this exact setup.
Absolutely — and this is critical. 70% of Dominican online shoppers buy from their phones. Every store we build uses a mobile-first design approach: fast loading on mobile data, easy product browsing with your thumb, and a streamlined checkout that minimizes friction on smaller screens.
Yes. PayPal processes payments from customers worldwide. Combined with our bilingual store capability (Spanish and English), you can sell to Dominican customers, tourists planning their trip, and international buyers — all from the same store with automatic language and currency handling.
E-commerce stores typically take 4–5 weeks for a standard product store, or 5–8 weeks for more complex setups with booking systems, multiple payment flows, or large catalogs. We provide a detailed timeline during the planning phase.
Yes. E-commerce functionality can be added to any existing DR Web Studio website as an add-on starting at $900. If your current site is on WordPress or another platform, we can also rebuild and migrate it to Next.js with e-commerce integrated from the start — starting at $600 for the migration plus $900 for the e-commerce features.
Your first year of hosting and maintenance is completely free (valued at $1,140). After the first year, maintenance continues at $95/month. There are no monthly platform fees like Shopify or Squarespace. The only transaction cost is PayPal's standard processing fee (typically 3.49% + fixed fee per transaction), which goes directly to PayPal — not to us.
