Setting up an Adobe Commerce Store: How Long Does It Take?

Setting up an online store with Adobe Commerce doesn’t have to be a daunting task; with the right resources it can be surprisingly easy and fast. But how long does it take to set up an online store with Adobe Commerce? The answer depends on several factors, such as the complexity of the platform you choose, the products you sell, product customization options, integration with other services, payment systems, and more. But as a general rule, it usually takes between two and four weeks to set up a basic online store with Adobe Commerce.

The first step is choosing and implementing a platform. You can select a Shopify platform or use the native Adobe Commerce solution. Those who already have an existing eCommerce platform can also migrate to Commerce. Regardless of which platform you use, you will first need to register, configure your store settings, and then start setting up your store. You will also need to enter your company and payment information. This is important for taxes, but also for enabling in-store payment methods such as credit card and PayPal.

Next, you’ll want to start customizing the look and feel of your store. With Adobe Commerce, you can customize mobile and desktop interfaces, design custom themes and layouts, and add pages. You can add modules to add additional features and functionality. From there you start configuring the products. You’ll need to add the payment methods you’ll use, product photos and descriptions, shipping options, and more.

Finally, you should test your store and make sure everything looks and works correctly. You’ll also need to set up marketing tools and SEO (search engine optimization) features. Once all this is done, you are ready to go!

In short, setting up an online store with Adobe Commerce should take no more than two to four weeks. Depending on the complexity of the platform you choose and the customization options you use, it may take a little longer. But with the right resources and setup skills, you’ll be able to have your store up and running in no time.
