How much does an e-commerce website cost?
It depends on the platform, catalog size and integrations, so we quote each store after a discovery call, fixed-price or hourly, and confirm the quote in writing before work begins. A 50% upfront payment starts the project and the balance is due before launch. Platform subscriptions, domain, hosting and payment gateway fees are paid by you directly to those providers and are not part of our quote.
How long does it take to build an online store?
A Starter store usually launches 2 to 3 weeks after kickoff, a Growth store 3 to 5 weeks after, and a Custom build with a large catalog, several user types or an ERP integration in 6 to 12 weeks. Catalog data arriving late is the most common cause of delay, so we ask for it early.
What do I need to provide to start?
Your product list with names, prices, variants and descriptions (a spreadsheet is fine), product photos, your GST details for invoicing, and your business bank account for the payment gateway KYC. If you already have a domain, logo or brand guidelines, share those too. We handle everything else.
Should I use Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom store?
Shopify suits most single-brand stores that want low maintenance and accept a monthly platform fee. WooCommerce suits businesses already on WordPress or that want to control the hosting. A custom build is for catalogs, pricing rules or workflows the platforms cannot express, such as a multi-vendor marketplace or a dealer portal. We recommend one in writing after discovery.
Can you integrate Indian payment gateways and cash on delivery?
Yes. We integrate Razorpay, PhonePe Payment Gateway, Paytm Payment Gateway and other Indian gateways for UPI, cards, net banking and wallets, and set up cash on delivery with any rules you need, such as a maximum order value. Gateway accounts are opened in your business name so settlements go straight to you.
Do you manage the store after launch?
Every project includes a 7-day post-delivery support window for corrections and technical issues. After that, maintenance packages are available for updates, new features and campaign pages, and our digital marketing and SEO services are available separately. You can also run the store entirely in-house; the admin is set up for that.
