Overview

Online stores on Shopify, WooCommerce or custom stacks — product catalogues, local payment gateways, shipping rules, marketplace sync and fast checkout. Projects for the United States 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.

United States-specific requirements to plan for

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

Payment methods customers in the United States expect: Stripe, Square, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and Affirm / Klarna / Afterpay.
Marketplaces and platforms that can be connected: Amazon, Walmart Marketplace, Etsy, eBay and Shopify.
ADA lawsuits make WCAG 2.1 AA accessibility a practical requirement for business sites.
Online sellers may owe sales tax in states where they have economic nexus.
State privacy laws (California CCPA/CPRA and a growing list of other states): There is no single federal privacy law — COPPA covers children’s data, CAN-SPAM covers email and TCPA covers SMS.

This is practical delivery guidance, not legal advice.
