Selling online from the Canary Islands
Selling online from the Canary Islands has two layers: the usual one — a catalogue people understand, a checkout that doesn't scare anyone, a product page that loads on a phone — and one almost no bought theme handles: local IGIC tax, shipping to mainland Spain and the paperwork behind it. A store misconfigured there doesn't fail on launch day; it fails the day the first order from Madrid comes in.
Then there's the toll. Subscription platforms take a monthly fee and, on some plans, a percentage of every sale. At low volume you don't notice. At volume, that percentage is a part-time employee working for somebody else. Here you pay for the build once, and the only commission left is the payment gateway's, which goes to your bank and not to me.
And third, speed. A slow store doesn't lose visits: it loses carts that were already full, which is the most expensive way to lose them.
This is for you if
- You sell in a physical shop and half your orders arrive by WhatsApp or Instagram DM.
- You already sell on a platform that takes a cut of every sale and the maths is starting to hurt.
- Your catalogue is dozens or hundreds of products, not tens of thousands.
- You sell from the Canaries to the mainland and want tax and shipping right from the very first order.
This is NOT what you're after if
- You want to sell inside Amazon or another marketplace: that's a channel, not your own store.
- Your catalogue is tens of thousands of SKUs synced with an ERP: doable, but that's a different project and budget.
- What you sell is hours, appointments or services: a website plus a booking system fits that better.
What's included
A whole working store, not a shop window you have to fit an engine to afterwards.
A storefront built for you
Home, categories and product page designed around what you actually sell. A jeweller and a hardware shop don't show a product the same way, and the template that suits both suits neither well.
A catalogue of up to 50 products
With their prices and inventory control where it belongs, so you don't sell what you no longer have. Variants — sizes, colours, formats — and larger catalogues add to it, and I tell you how much during discovery rather than afterwards.
Payments with no cut for me
Stripe, Redsys or whatever gateway your bank already uses. You pay the gateway's fee and nothing else: I charge for the build once, not a percentage of your sales forever.
Tax and shipping configured
The right tax depending on where you sell, and shipping rates by island, mainland and beyond. What each off-island shipment involves is documented, so it doesn't ambush you on the first order.
Orders where the money already is
See the order, take payment, refund it and pull the invoice from the Stripe dashboard — no extra screen to learn and no two-hundred-page manual. If you'd rather have your own panel inside your site, with statuses and tracking numbers, that gets built and quoted separately.
Automatic emails
Order confirmation and dispatch notice, in your brand and your language. This is where a store either earns trust or loses it. Abandoned-cart recovery gets added once you have carts worth recovering, not before.
Product pages ready for Google
Product structured data — price, availability, ratings — so your products can show up in search with their price, instead of as one more link.
The legal side of selling online
Terms of sale, returns policy and the fourteen-day right of withdrawal, on top of the legal notice and privacy policy. Selling without these isn't a formality you skipped: it's a complaint waiting to happen. And since June 2025 accessibility is mandatory for e-commerce in the EU except for micro-enterprises: if your company is over ten people, we look at that during discovery and not when the notice arrives.
How it works
A store has more moving parts than a website, so discovery takes longer and the launch gets rehearsed before it opens.
012–3 days
Discovery
Catalogue, variants, taxes, carriers and how you put an order together today. Most of the price comes out of this step, so this is not where we rush.
025–7 days
Design
Home, category, product page and the whole road to checkout. You approve the full journey, not just a nice-looking homepage.
032–4 weeks
Build
Store, payments in test mode and the catalogue loaded. You place fake orders until the whole process feels boring — which is exactly how it should feel.
041 day + support
Launch and training
It opens with live payments, and I show you how to add a product, change a price and handle a return. Recorded, so whoever joins next can watch it.
What it costs
A starting price for a complete store: actually selling, with the tax properly set and with the legals selling to a consumer requires. The fixed quote comes out of discovery, once I know how many products and variants sit behind it.

- 3–5 weeks
What moves the price
- More than 50 products and, above all, variants per product: sizes, colours and formats multiply the catalogue.
- Your own order panel inside the site, instead of handling them from Stripe.
- Abandoned-cart recovery.
- Syncing with your till, ERP or invoicing software.
- Subscriptions, bundles or per-customer pricing.
- Two languages or two currencies.
- Product photography, if there are no usable photos.
50% up front and 50% on delivery, by SEPA transfer. The gateway's commission and hosting are paid by you directly to whoever provides them, not to me.
Questions I always get
Do you take a cut of each sale?
No. I charge for the build once. The only commission you'll see is the payment gateway's, which goes to your bank or to Stripe and would exist with any other store too.
Why not Shopify or WooCommerce?
Because they come with a monthly toll or a plugin-maintenance habit you pay forever. That said: if your case calls for Shopify — selling across several channels with no technical staff, say — I'll tell you and help you set it up properly. I'd rather lose the project than sell you the wrong thing.
Who uploads the products?
If the catalogue is small, I load it from the data you send. If it's large, it gets imported from a spreadsheet. And training covers doing it yourself, which is what you'll need for the rest of the year.
I sell from the Canaries to mainland Spain — does that complicate things?
Yes, which is why it comes up in discovery. The tax you charge isn't the same inside and outside the archipelago, and mainland shipments carry customs paperwork somebody has to prepare. The store is configured to apply the right one and I leave you written notes on each case. What I don't do is tax advice: your accountant signs that.
What does it cost me monthly?
Domain and hosting — a few euros a month for a small store — plus the gateway's per-sale fee. Monthly maintenance is optional and contracted separately.
What if I sell very little at first?
Then your fixed costs are almost zero, which is exactly the advantage of building it this way instead of paying a monthly fee from day one whether you sell or not.
Can I start smaller?
Yes. You can open with part of the catalogue and a single shipping option, and grow later. What I don't recommend is opening without payments and taxes set up properly: that isn't starting small, that's starting broken.
Shall we talk about your store?
Tell me what you sell, how many products you have and how you put an order together today. With that I'll tell you whether this fits, what it would cost and how soon you'd be selling.
I usually reply within 24 hours
