How much does it cost to develop a mall distribution system?

How much does it cost to develop a mall distribution system? Let's take a look at the following points.

1、 Software cost

1. Source code price: Purchasing source code is free, and the general cost ranges from several thousand to tens of thousands.

2. Server: Generally divided into IDC and CDN, ranging from tens of thousands to tens of thousands per year.

3. APP development: Features include UI design, database development, backend development, etc.

4. Mini program: The development cost of a set of mini programs is around 10000 to 50000 yuan.

5. E-commerce Mall: It is necessary to conduct a reasonable analysis based on the company's own situation. You can search on e-commerce platforms, find the system you want, and then customize it.

6. Functional module: divided into two parts, one is the backend part.

7. Security issues: Whether in the development or use process, attention should be paid to security issues. It is necessary to comply with national security standards or have relevant qualifications to ensure the use and later updates of the system.


2、 System maintenance costs

The maintenance cost of the mall system includes functional maintenance and data maintenance.

1. Function maintenance: Each system will have its own functional modules. When developing a new distribution system, the company first needs to determine the required functions of its product and the detailed requirements for these functions, and then develop a new system based on these functional modules and requirements.

2. Data maintenance: After developing a new system, there will be issues related to data maintenance, as there may be data synchronization errors, incomplete product information, and confusing member information in the new system. Therefore, the company needs to rebuild the distribution system based on the actual situation, and these tasks require a certain amount of cost.

3. Functional module update: As the functions of the mall distribution system gradually improve, the company needs to constantly update and improve it.


3、 Program development expenses

The development of a mall distribution system requires both front-end and back-end. The front-end is divided into static pages and dynamic pages, while the back-end mainly includes database structure, back-end management, and marketing functions. The development cost involved is approximately between 10000 to 30000 .

The development cost for the functional modules of the mall system, including the homepage, product classification management, shopping cart, order management, member management, etc., is approximately 20000 .


4、 Server rental fees

n general, the rental cost of a server for a distribution system in a shopping mall ranges from several thousand to tens of thousands, but there are also some cheap ones. However, these servers are not the kind that everyone wants, so it is not recommended to choose them because you get what you want, and do not be tempted by cheap prices.

As a product of the development of the e-commerce industry today, many companies are trying to achieve their profit goals by building mall distribution systems. The choice of mall distribution system also needs to be based on their own situation in order to truly help companies achieve their profit goals.

Before building a mall distribution system, it is necessary to conduct research and analysis before selecting a suitable mall distribution system development company. Otherwise, spending a lot of money to create a fully functional system without achieving the expected results will not be worth the loss.

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.
