Every day,you pay a marketplace for every customer, and never get to meet them.
On a marketplace, the customer belongs to the marketplace: you can’t follow up, reward them or tell them what’s new. Your own store lets you, but only if it’s fast, easy to shop and kept up to date.
So,here’s what’s in the box.

How it works,from the first call to the first order.
01
Tell us what you sell
Your products, who buys them, and where you sell now: marketplaces, Instagram or your own shop.
02
We plan and design, phone first
Pages, collections, payments and apps, then a design you see on a phone and a laptop before we build.
03
We build and set it up
Products, UPI and card payments, cash on delivery, shipping and GST invoices, then a full test order before launch.
04
We launch, then look after it
Fixes, speed and new pages after launch, or the whole store run for you, week after week.
Yes. We plan the store around how your customers shop, design it, build it on Shopify, add your products, set up payments, cash on delivery and shipping, and launch it. If you’ve started a store yourself, we can finish it.
How much does a Shopify website cost in India?
It depends on how many products and pages you have, how custom the design is, which apps you need, and whether we also run the store after launch. On top of that, Shopify charges a monthly plan and, because its own payment service isn’t available in India, a small fee on each online order. Your payment gateway takes its own fee too. Tell us what you sell, and we’ll send you a quote.
It depends on what your store needs and how many products we list. Planning and designing the store take the most thought. Some steps also depend on other companies: a payment gateway can take a day or two to approve your account, a courier company a day or two to sign you up, and getting them working in the store another day or two. Send us a brief of what you need, and we’ll give you a firm timeline.
For most brands that sell online, yes. Shopify looks after hosting, security, checkout and updates, so nobody has to keep a server running. It works with Indian payment gateways, UPI, cash on delivery and Indian couriers. If you have only a handful of products, a smaller setup may be enough, and we’ll tell you so.
Can my Shopify store take UPI and cash on delivery?
Yes. We connect an Indian payment gateway such as Razorpay, PayU or Cashfree, which takes UPI, cards and netbanking, and switch on cash on delivery if you want it. Many brands give a small discount on prepaid orders, because cash-on-delivery orders are refused at the door more often.
Do I need GST registration to sell on my own website?
If you ship to customers in other states, yes, whatever your sales: GST law asks almost anyone who sells goods to another state to register. If you sell only within your own state and stay under the turnover limit (₹40 lakh a year for goods in most states), you don’t have to. Marketplaces have a separate exemption for small sellers who sell within one state. Ask your CA what applies to you.
Most brands do best with both. Amazon brings shoppers who are already searching. Your own website lets you keep your customers, run your own offers and send your ads without competitors beside you, and there’s no marketplace commission on those orders. We make your store work alongside Amazon, Flipkart and quick commerce, not against them.
Can my store stay in step with Amazon and Flipkart?
Yes. We use the same photos, videos and product content on your store and your marketplaces, keep prices and offers matched, and connect an inventory tool when stock needs to update everywhere at once. Amazon can also ship your website’s orders from the stock you keep in its warehouses, through its Multi-Channel Fulfilment service.
Product uploads and collections, offers and banners for every sale, apps and integrations, regular checks on speed and checkout, and a monthly report on what’s working.
Can you take over or redesign my existing Shopify store?
Yes. We can redesign it, fix what’s slow or broken, or simply look after it: updates, fixes, new pages, apps and speed, so the store keeps working as you grow.
Can you move my website to Shopify without losing Google rankings?
Yes, when it’s done carefully. Many brands start on Wix because it’s quick and cheap, or on WooCommerce inside their WordPress site, and move to Shopify when the store outgrows it. We move your products, customers and content, then send every old page address to its new one with a permanent redirect, so Google and your customers land in the right place. Rankings can move a little for a few weeks after any move. The redirects are what bring them back.
Shopify or WooCommerce: which suits an Indian brand?
For most brands, Shopify: hosting, security and checkout are looked after for you, and the store is easier to run day to day. WooCommerce suits teams that want full control of their own server and have a developer to look after it. We build on both, and on Wix, so we’ll recommend what fits.
Will my store show up on Google and load fast on phones?
We build for both. Page titles, product pages and collections are written the way people search, page addresses are clean and the sitemap is set up, and we keep the theme and apps light so pages open fast on mobile data. After launch, Shopify SEO is part of store management.
Will I own my Shopify store and customer data?
Yes. We build a new store for your brand in our Shopify Partner account, and transfer it to you when it’s ready to go live. From then on, the store and its customers are yours, and you pay Shopify directly. If we run the store for you after launch, you give us collaborator access, and you decide what we can see and change.
Are you in Delhi, and do you work across India?
We’re in Malviya Nagar, New Delhi, and we build Shopify stores for brands all over India. Most of the work happens online, so your city doesn’t matter. If you’re in Delhi NCR, you’re welcome to meet us at the office.
