An e-commerce site has one job: make buying effortless. We build stores around how Indians actually shop — UPI, COD, WhatsApp queries and a phone in one hand.
Shopify for speed of operations and reliability; WooCommerce for control and lower recurring costs at higher volume. Catalogue size, team skill and margins decide it — not fashion.
No — reduce dependence, don't abandon. Marketplaces are discovery; your store is margin and customer data. Healthy D2C brands run both deliberately.
Straightforward Shopify launches run ₹60,000–₹2 lakh; heavier custom or migration work goes beyond. Monthly platform and app costs are real too — we put them in the quote so there are no surprises.
