Development cost of mall mini program

There is no fixed answer to the development cost of the mall mini program, as it is like a process of "decorating a house", with a huge price difference from simple decoration to luxury decoration. The cost can range from several thousand yuan to several hundred thousand yuan. The total cost of developing a shopping mall mini program usually includes the following parts:

1、 Mall platform fees

1. Mall template fee: This fee is free and allows us to develop mall systems through templates. The price of mall templates ranges from a few hundred to several thousand, and customizing the system requires a certain customization fee;

2. Server cost: The server is used to carry customer data and software, so it is necessary to set up the mall. This cost is the server cost, and the specific price depends on which server you choose;

3. Domain name fees: Domain names are also essential in the process of building a shopping mall, which requires you to choose different domain names and corresponding platforms;

4. Developer fees: The general fee ranges from several thousand to tens of thousands of yuan, depending on the developer.

5. Post operation and promotion expenses: Generally, this industry places more emphasis on marketing and promotion content, so there will be a large amount of investment in the later stage.


2、 Development expenses

There are many types of development costs for shopping mall systems. For example, some shopping mall systems are customized and need to be developed according to their own needs in terms of functionality, resulting in higher costs.

2. Function module cost: The development cost of the mall system varies depending on the requirements of different function modules. For example, some shopping mall systems require the purchase of modules separately, which will incur an additional fee.

3. Platform docking fee: refers to the docking between the mall system and the platform. If it is a mini program mall, this step is not required.

4. Technical personnel maintenance costs: For enterprises, technical personnel maintenance is also a significant expense.

5. Hardware equipment costs: During the development of the mall system, servers and specialized storage devices are required, and these hardware equipment costs are generally one-time investments.


3、 System maintenance fee

The system maintenance fee is mainly for the better use and maintenance of the mini program to ensure its normal operation.

A complete mini program requires a lot of time and money. Of course, if you want to create a well functioning mini program, you also need to spend a lot of time developing it, which will increase the cost, but it will be relatively simpler.

In short, developing a small program is not an easy task. Of course, it does not mean that you cannot do it yourself, but rather that you need to understand what you need to do.

So my suggestion is, if you really want to develop a mini program, I suggest finding a professional team or outsourcing company.

But if you develop it yourself, you must plan the cost carefully.


4、 Server fees

The server cost varies for each website, as a server refers to a platform provided by a company, enterprise, or other organization to provide its servers with a running environment and security services.

Small businesses generally consider the following aspects when they need servers:

1. Bandwidth refers to the number of online users on a website, which means the number of visits to your website.

2. CPU: CPU refers to the performance of the processor. Generally speaking, the more programs run on a server, the larger the amount of data that needs to be processed. The performance of the processor is related to the clock speed. Generally, the higher the clock speed, the stronger the processor performance, but the higher the price.

3. The size of the memory and hard drive is related. If there is not enough space, the website program cannot run normally.

4. Bandwidth and internet speed are also related.

Frequently asked questions

I want to develop software. How much will it cost?

Software development costs vary depending on several factors, such as:

  • the scale of your application idea (e.g., a simple two-page website or enterprise-level software solutions);

  • required innovations (whether it needs extra research, inventions, or uses a well-known tech stack);

  • the software development company’s experience in tech and project management;

  • software outsourcing rates.

Every idea is unique, and various factors affect its cost. That’s why we recommend contacting us for initial consulting and free analysis and estimation.

How much time will it take for you to make my app?

3 key parameters influence the software development timeline:

  • application complexity and scope (more complicated products take longer to develop);

  • quality requirements (higher standards demand more testing and extended timelines);

  • interdependencies between features (some functionalities may block others, limiting the ability to speed up even with more resources).

These factors are thoroughly considered when providing estimates for custom product development projects.
