How much does an ecommerce or Shopify website cost in India?
A basic ecommerce or Shopify store in India built on a ready theme costs about ₹15,000–₹40,000. A custom store with your own design, payment gateway, shipping and SEO usually costs ₹75,000–₹3,50,000. Redesigning an existing store costs ₹1,50,000–₹4,00,000, and upkeep runs ₹10,000–₹25,000 a month. Shopify's own plan fee is extra.
The biggest price driver is how many products and how much custom design you need. A store with under 50 products on a good theme can launch quickly at the lower end. Custom product pages, filters, bundles, subscriptions or wholesale pricing push the cost up.
Integrations add cost too: payment gateways (Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree), shipping (Shiprocket, Delhivery), WhatsApp order updates, GST invoices and email follow-ups for abandoned carts. Ask for each one to be listed in the quote.
Budget separately for Shopify's monthly plan, paid apps, product photography and content. Maintenance for an ecommerce store typically costs ₹10,000–₹25,000 a month and covers updates, small changes and fixes.
Shopify suits most small and mid-size brands because it is easy to run. WooCommerce can be cheaper per month but needs more upkeep. If you are unsure, ask for both options in your quote.
