Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our process and services.
Yes. Full ownership is transferred to you on delivery. We provide initial credentials, and for your security you're required to change the password immediately. From there, you have 100% control. Nothing is held back for a future retainer.
Foundation Store is a complete, ready-to-sell store for your first business. GrowthScale Commerce adds an expanded catalog of 40 researched products for stores planning to scale. OmniStore Pro is the complete build, with custom theme design, supplier setup, the tracking portal and marketing tools. You can compare all offers on the offers page.
We handle the initial product sourcing and integration based on your niche. Once the store is delivered, you manage inventory and add new products as you scale.
No. The Shopify subscription is paid directly to Shopify, separately from your build fee. This keeps a direct billing relationship between you and the platform, with full account control.
No. You pay one build fee, with no retainers and no recurring cost to Open Gate. Your only ongoing costs are the ones any store has: your Shopify plan and any third-party apps or domain you choose to use.
We specialize in high-conversion store setup and SEO optimization. Builds are launch-ready, but long-term marketing campaigns are a separate service from the initial build.
For store builds, we need four things: a valid email address (used to create your store), your niche (selected on the product page), a brand name (for example, PawNun Store) and your preferred design style. You fill these in before payment. Once your payment is complete, we receive your details and your project moves straight into the build phase. Ordering the Trading Course or another course? You can skip this form.
It depends on the package and scope. The timeframe listed on each offer page applies to that build, and you can choose Standard or Express development at checkout. Sending your project details promptly keeps everything on schedule.
Once your project starts, you receive a unique tracking ID. Enter it in the Client Dashboard to follow milestones and completion estimates in real time.
We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, PayPal and secure cryptocurrency payments, including Bitcoin. Crypto transactions allow faster project onboarding and lower overhead costs.
If you cancel before any work begins, you receive a full refund. EU customers have a 14-day right of withdrawal; if you withdraw while the build is in progress, a pro-rata charge applies for work already completed. Third-party costs are non-refundable. Every request is reviewed within 7 business days. Full details are in our Refund Policy.
Every build is reviewed and approved before handoff, and no personal data is retained once your store is delivered. You can read more in our Privacy Policy.
Yes. Everything we deliver is digital, so we work with clients worldwide. There are no shipping charges or customs, and prices are shown in EUR.
