    E-commerce development — FAQs

    Pricing, platforms, payments and timelines answered clearly.

    How much does e-commerce website development cost in India?

    A WooCommerce store typically costs ₹25,000 to ₹60,000, a Shopify store ₹30,000 to ₹75,000, and a custom React or headless store starts around ₹80,000. Cost depends on product count, custom features, and integrations rather than design alone.

    Which is better for an Indian business — Shopify or WooCommerce?

    WooCommerce is better if you want full ownership, no monthly platform fee, and deep customisation — it suits most Indian small and mid-size businesses. Shopify is better if you want the fastest launch with zero maintenance and are comfortable with a recurring subscription. We build both and recommend based on your catalogue and budget, not commission.

    Do you charge advance payment for an e-commerce store?

    No advance for WooCommerce and Shopify stores. We build the store on a staging URL, you place a test order and review everything, and the invoice is raised only after you approve it. Custom headless builds use milestone terms agreed in writing upfront.

    How long does it take to build an online store?

    A standard store with up to 50 products takes 2-3 weeks. Larger catalogues, B2B pricing rules, or ERP integrations take 4-8 weeks. Product data readiness on your side is usually the biggest factor in the timeline.

    Will my store accept UPI and cash on delivery?

    Yes. We configure UPI, cards, netbanking and wallets through Razorpay, PayU or Cashfree, and set up cash on delivery with order-value and pincode rules so COD does not hurt your margins.

    Do you handle product uploads and store maintenance?

    Yes. We can bulk-upload your catalogue from a spreadsheet during the build, and offer optional monthly maintenance covering updates, backups, security, and small changes.
