Ecommerce website builder

Hostinger Ecommerce lets you sell products and services directly from your AI Builder website. It brings product management, payments, orders, and shipping together in one place, with no coding, technical setup, or separate platform required.

You can create your website with Hostinger’s AI website builder first, then add Ecommerce to your plan when you’re ready to start selling.

You can launch a fully functional online store in a few simple steps:

1. Design your store. Describe your business to AI or choose a template. Then customize your website with drag-and-drop tools in Manual mode or by chatting with AI in Agentic mode.
2. Add Ecommerce to your plan. Get access to tools for managing payments, products, orders, and shipping.
3. Add your products. Take a photo, and AI generates a product listing for you, with no manual entry needed. You can also add products manually, choose from 400+ items through the Printful print-on-demand integration, or upload digital files and subscription content.
4. Set up payments and shipping. Choose the payment options and shipping methods that work for your customers.
5. Connect your domain. Claim your free custom domain or connect one you already own.
6. Publish and start selling. Launch your store in one click, with hosting included, and start accepting payments right away.

Both modes are available in the same ecommerce website builder, and both let you create a fully functional online store. The main difference is how you create and customize your website.

Manual mode lets you create a store from a template or generate one from a description, then customize it yourself using drag-and-drop elements. It’s ideal for anyone who prefers hands-on control when creating an online store.

Agentic mode lets you chat with AI to make changes to your website in real time, with more customization options. You can also use “Edit & Select” to adjust specific sections or access the full codebase through the code editor.

It’s better suited to advanced projects, including web apps and ecommerce websites with user accounts, such as membership sites or stores with AI-powered features like virtual fitting rooms and AI stylists. These capabilities are supported by its integrated backend and built-in AI.

Every plan lets you try both modes. You can switch from Manual to Agentic mode whenever you need more flexibility, and your Manual mode version stays saved as a backup so you can return to it.

The cost depends on how you create your ecommerce website. Hiring a developer or agency for a fully custom online store typically costs $1,000 to $10,000 or more, including design, hosting, a domain, and ongoing maintenance.

An all-in-one platform like Hostinger AI Builder can significantly reduce these costs. You can start creating your store for $3.49/month, including a domain, hosting, and the tools you need to design your website.

When you’re ready to start selling, add Ecommerce for an extra $4.99/month for the first 3 months. After that, it renews at $8.99/month. Ecommerce includes payments, shipping, and store management tools.

You can build different types of ecommerce websites with Hostinger’s online store builder and combine them in a single store:

• Physical product stores. Sell clothing, home goods, handmade crafts, and other physical products. Customers pay online, and you ship their orders directly to them.
• Print-on-demand stores. Sell custom-designed apparel, mugs, home decor, and more without holding inventory. With the built-in Printful integration, products are printed and shipped directly to customers after they order.
• Digital product stores. Sell digital products that don’t require shipping, such as ebooks, online courses, templates, music, and gift cards.
• Subscription-based stores. Charge customers recurring payments for access to content, services, or a community, with automated billing and subscriber management. Available in Agentic mode.
• Booking and appointment-based stores. Let clients book and pay for appointments or services online.

You can combine physical products, print-on-demand items, digital downloads, subscriptions, and appointments in one store, with no limit on the number of products you can add. Manage everything from a single dashboard.

No, Hostinger doesn’t take a cut of your sales, so you keep 100% of what you earn. Standard payment processing fees may still apply, depending on your payment provider.

Choose from 100+ payment methods, including cards, PayPal, Google Pay, and Apple Pay through Stripe and other payment gateways. Available methods depend on your location, currency, and where you’re selling.

Once you add Ecommerce, you can set up shipping zones and delivery options, with custom rules based on order amount or item weight. You can also automate shipping with Shippo, including real-time tracking across 40+ carriers such as DHL, UPS, and FedEx. If you’re selling outside the US and Canada, you can connect your own local shipping provider.

Hostinger’s ecommerce website builder includes AI tools to help you manage and grow your store:

• AI-generated product listings. Upload product photos, and the “Add products with AI” feature generates titles and descriptions for up to 10 products at once, without manual data entry.
• AI content generation. Generate copy, blog content, and images for your online store.
• Store-aware marketing with Hostinger Reach. Reach uses products, prices, images, and discount codes from your catalog to generate marketing campaigns. It can also automatically send abandoned-cart and post-purchase emails.
• Hostinger Agent, your AI business partner. Ask Hostinger Agent to help with SEO, marketing, content, sales, customer communication, and business planning, all from one place.

Together, these tools handle repetitive store management tasks, giving you more time to focus on your products and customers. Explore our research on AI in ecommerce to learn more.

No. Hostinger AI Builder is a no-code platform, so you don’t need design or coding experience to launch your store. Describe your business to AI and get a ready-to-edit website in minutes, or choose a designer-made template and customize it to match your brand. Then add the features your store needs, including products, payments, and shipping, without installing separate plugins.

Yes. Our multilingual Customer Success team is available 24/7. Hostinger Agent is also built into your store to help you navigate the platform, create products, and answer questions as you go.

Your plan isn’t limited to your online store. It gives you access to the full AI Builder platform, so you can also create other websites, web apps, and custom tools using the same account.

You can also create custom ecommerce apps and tools for your store, such as inventory trackers, order management systems, and sales dashboards. Describe what you need, and AI Builder builds it for you.
