Freelance Ecommerce Developer in Chile

Freelance ecommerce developer for Chile: online stores with local payments and fast checkout. Planned for Chile's new data law and local payments.

Overview

Online stores on Shopify, WooCommerce or custom stacks — product catalogues, local payment gateways, shipping rules, marketplace sync and fast checkout. Projects for Chile run remotely, with a daily call window agreed for your city's time zone. Scope, milestones and ownership are agreed in writing before work starts.

Chile-specific requirements to plan for

Projects for businesses in Chile have to work for local customers and local rules. These points are planned from the first milestone:

  • Payment methods customers in Chile expect: Webpay (Transbank), Khipu, Mercado Pago and Flow.
  • Marketplaces and platforms that can be connected: Mercado Libre, Falabella, Ripley and Paris.
  • Electronic invoices and receipts (boleta electrónica) are issued through the SII.
  • Law 19,628 — being replaced by Law 21,719 (in force from December 2026): The new law creates a data-protection agency and GDPR-style duties, so new builds should plan for it now.
