Before I get too involved in looking at how to build something, does anyone have a rough idea on what it costs to have an app built for on-line sales ?

 

It's a small catalogue, less than a dozen items but maybe more in the future. It will need to handle returning customers and CC payments, send email/text confirmations of order receipt and completion details and be as simple to step through as possible. For both Android and Apple. I'm looking for simple rather than jazzy.

 

Just a rough estimate would be great. Very few websites I've found give any indication at all, although one started at $5k for a basic app.

 

My gut feeling is to just do a website and keep it as minimal as possible, but I've not built a mobile app before ;)

One of the few ecommerce apps I am aware of is Apples one, and that isn't great. Also Amazon has one, but that is more of a market. Both those companies turn over billions. Even though they have apps, I still use the website. IMO there is really no point in an app for a shopping cart, as you then have to make one for for IOS, Anddroid, Windows, and you also have to fix it when new OS updates come out.
