## Checkout, taxes and shipping the US way.

US shoppers expect one-tap payment and tracking. Tax rules change by state: they get handled in the store, not by hand.

- Checkout — Stripe, PayPal, Apple Pay and Google Pay, with cards and wallets on a single screen.
- Sales tax — state-by-state calculation with Stripe Tax, TaxJar or Avalara, based on your nexus.
- Shipping — live rates and labels with UPS, USPS and FedEx from a dashboard like ShipStation.
- Accessibility and speed — WCAG 2.1 AA and Core Web Vitals, which affect conversion and lawsuit exposure.

## FAQ

**Can I sell in the US with a store built from Ecuador?**

Yes. The store, hosting and payments are independent of where the development team is. You operate with your company and your Stripe account; we build and support.

**How is sales tax handled?**

We integrate a state-by-state calculation service and configure it according to where you must collect. You confirm the tax setup with your accountant.

**Which platform do you build online stores on?**

Mostly WooCommerce and PrestaShop and, for larger or custom projects, Magento or our own Laravel development. We choose based on your catalog, your operation and where you want to grow, not on fashion.

**Do you integrate Ecuador’s payment gateways?**

Yes. We integrate Datafast, PayPhone and Kushki, with card payments and deferred and installment options. We connect the gateway that best suits your bank and your customers.

**Does the store issue SRI-authorized electronic invoices?**

Yes. We integrate SRI-authorized electronic invoicing so every sale generates its document automatically, with your company’s tax data.

**How much does an online store cost and how long does it take?**

It depends on the catalog and the integrations. A standard store usually takes 4 to 8 weeks; a custom one, more. After the initial consultation we give you a clear schedule and price, with no hidden costs.

**Do you help with SEO and hosting for the store?**

Yes. We optimize the store with on-page SEO so Google finds it, and we take care of servers and hosting so it is always fast and online.

**Can you migrate my current store without losing sales or products?**

Yes. We migrate catalog, customers and orders carefully and plan the switch so your store keeps selling throughout the process.
