What we build into every store
A product catalogue that is easy to browse
Categories, filters, variants for size and colour, stock levels and clear pricing, structured so customers find things in two clicks rather than five.
Checkout designed to be completed
Guest checkout, address autofill, UPI and card options, saved carts, and a mobile flow that does not lose people on the payment step.
GST invoicing without manual work
Invoices generated with your GSTIN, HSN codes and correct tax rates, emailed to the customer and available for your accountant.
Shipping and tracking
Courier rates and pin-code serviceability at checkout, label generation, and automatic tracking updates so customers stop calling to ask where their order is.
Product SEO from day one
Unique titles, descriptions, alt text and product schema so your items are eligible for Google Shopping style rich results and appear in search rather than only on marketplaces.
Speed on Indian mobile networks
Compressed images, caching and a lightweight build, because most of your traffic will arrive on a phone on mobile data.
WhatsApp and enquiry fallbacks
A WhatsApp order option for customers who will not check out online, which in India is a large share of them.
An admin your team can actually use
Adding a product, changing a price or refunding an order should take a minute. We train your team at handover.

WooCommerce or Shopify: which is right for you?
WooCommerce runs on your own WordPress hosting. It costs less monthly, you own everything outright, there are no per-sale platform fees, and it can be extended in almost any direction, including syncing orders into your accounts. It does need someone to keep it updated, which is what a care plan is for.
Shopify is hosted, so there is less to maintain and you can launch faster, but you pay a monthly fee, some apps add further monthly costs, and you are working inside their rules. For most Mumbai retailers and manufacturers selling in India we recommend WooCommerce. For businesses that want minimum technical involvement and are comfortable with the monthly cost, Shopify is a reasonable choice. We will give you a straight recommendation for your situation rather than a default.
Selling alongside Amazon, Flipkart and Instagram
Marketplaces bring volume but take a commission, own the customer relationship and can change the rules whenever they like. Your own store is where margin, repeat customers and your customer list live, so the sensible strategy is both.
We build stores that work as the destination for your Instagram and WhatsApp traffic, with product links that load fast on mobile, a WhatsApp order option, and analytics set up so you can see which posts and ads actually produced orders. If you also run Meta or Google ads, ask us about pairing the store with a dedicated landing page for each campaign.
E-commerce development questions
How much does an e-commerce website cost in Mumbai?
A starter store with up to 50 products typically costs ₹45,000 to ₹75,000. A growth store with variants, courier integration and abandoned cart recovery runs ₹75,000 to ₹1,50,000. Larger catalogues, B2B pricing or ERP integration start from ₹1,50,000. Hosting, domain and gateway fees are separate and shown at cost.
How long does it take to build an online store?
Usually three to six weeks. The variables are catalogue size, how quickly product photos and descriptions are ready, and how long your payment gateway takes to approve the account.
Which payment gateway is best for an Indian store?
Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree and Instamojo all work well and support UPI, cards, net banking and wallets. The right choice depends on your expected volume and the settlement cycle you need. We integrate whichever you choose and can advise on the trade-offs.
Can the store generate GST invoices automatically?
Yes. Invoices are generated with your GSTIN, correct HSN or SAC codes and tax rates, emailed to the customer and available for download by your accountant.
Will I own my website?
Yes, completely. The hosting, domain and all admin logins are in your name, and there is no lock-in. This is a deliberate difference from agencies that keep the accounts under their own control.
Do you provide training after launch?
Yes. We train your team on adding products, editing prices, dispatching orders and issuing refunds, and include thirty days of support after launch.
Can you connect my store to Tally?
In many cases yes. Order and invoice data can be exported or synced into TallyPrime so your accounts team is not retyping every sale. Because we also handle TallyPrime, we can scope both sides of that properly.
