Fixed costs
Platform: 0 DZD during the trial, then ~999 DZD/month. No separate hosting or domain needed at first (your store runs on a subdomain). Far cheaper than dollar-priced Shopify.
Variable costs
Stock: depends on your product (you can start small). Ads: the big one — budget ~1,500 DZD/day for a one-week test. Returns: count ~1,200 DZD per refused parcel in your losses.
Bottom line
For under 30,000 DZD you can launch a real test. Don’t weigh the start down with legal fees before the product proves itself. Invest in ads and confirmation, not fancy tools.
