Shopify Development Services for Brands That Want a Store Built Right

Shopify is the quickest way for most brands to run a reliable online store. Hosting, security, checkout and updates are handled for you, and there is an app for almost everything. The catch is that a store stitched together from a free theme and a dozen apps often ends up slow, expensive each month and hard to change.

Our Shopify development services cover the full build: choosing and customising a theme or building a custom one in Liquid, setting up products, collections and variants, and connecting Indian payment gateways, shipping, GST invoices and WhatsApp updates. We keep the app list short and write small custom sections instead of adding another monthly subscription where that makes sense.

We also take on existing stores: redesigns, speed fixes, migrations from WooCommerce or other platforms, and custom features such as B2B pricing, bundles or integrations with your ERP. If you need a developer on your store every month rather than a one-off project, you can also hire one of our Shopify developers directly.

Who it's for

Who Shopify Development is for

Brands launching their first store

D2C founders in fashion, beauty, food, home and accessories who want a professional store live quickly and a team that can run it day to day without a developer.

Stores that need a redesign or speed-up

Existing Shopify stores with a dated theme, too many apps or slow pages on mobile that are hurting conversion and paid ad performance.

Businesses moving to Shopify

Stores on WooCommerce, Magento, Wix or a custom platform that want to move to Shopify without losing products, customers, order history or Google rankings.

Brands selling abroad

Indian brands and exporters selling to the US, UK, Australia or the Middle East who need multi-currency pricing, international shipping and local payment methods through Shopify Markets.

What you get

Features we build

Theme customisation or custom themes

We start from a fast Online Store 2.0 theme and customise it, or build a custom theme in Liquid with sections and blocks your team can rearrange in the theme editor without code.

Indian payments and COD

Shopify Payments is not available in India, so we set up Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree or PhonePe for UPI, cards and wallets, plus COD rules and partial prepaid options to cut return-to-origin losses.

Shipping and fulfilment

Shiprocket, Delhivery or other courier apps for label generation, tracking and RTO handling, with pincode checks on the product page and clear delivery estimates.

GST invoices and taxes

Tax settings for Indian GST, HSN codes on products, and GST-compliant invoices through a suitable app or a custom template, plus tax settings for the other countries you sell to.

App integrations and custom apps

Reviews, subscriptions, loyalty, WhatsApp notifications and marketing apps set up properly. When no app fits, we build a custom app or a small script using the Shopify Admin API.

Store migrations

Products, variants, images, customers and order history moved from WooCommerce or other platforms, with every old URL redirected so your search rankings carry over.

Speed and conversion work

Removing unused apps and scripts, compressing images, lazy loading and simplifying templates, measured with Core Web Vitals, alongside fixes to product pages and cart flow.

ERP, inventory and Tally sync

Stock, orders and customers kept in sync with your inventory software, POS, Zoho Inventory or Tally-based billing, so online and offline sales draw from the same stock.

We do online store development on Shopify, WooCommerce and custom platforms. If Shopify's fees or limits do not suit your case, we will tell you before you commit.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

How much does Shopify store development cost?

With us, a theme-based Shopify store costs ₹35,000–90,000 (about $550–1,350), a custom theme ₹90,000–2.5 lakh, and a custom app or headless store ₹2.5 lakh or more. Shopify's own plan fee, any paid theme or apps and payment gateway charges are separate, and we list them in the quote.

Can I use Razorpay or UPI on Shopify in India?

Yes. Shopify Payments is not available for Indian stores, so Indian brands use third-party gateways such as Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree or PhonePe, which support UPI, cards, net banking and wallets. We set up the gateway, test payments and configure COD alongside it.

Are you a Shopify Partner agency?

We are a Shopify development agency in Tiruppur, India, building Shopify stores and apps, and we do not claim any special Shopify partner tier or certification. What matters in practice is that the store is in your name, the code is yours and the work is done carefully, which we put in writing.

Can you migrate our WooCommerce store to Shopify?

Yes. We move products, variants, images, customers and, where possible, order history. Every old URL is mapped to its new Shopify address with permanent redirects, and we monitor Google Search Console after launch to catch anything missed.

Shopify or WooCommerce: which should I choose?

Shopify suits teams that want hosting, security and checkout handled, and are fine with monthly plan and app fees. WooCommerce suits those who already run WordPress, want lower running costs, or need rules Shopify does not allow. Our WordPress development page covers WooCommerce, and we will recommend one after hearing your plans.

Can I hire a Shopify developer monthly instead of a project?

Yes. If you need ongoing theme changes, landing pages, app work or speed fixes, you can hire a dedicated Shopify developer from us on a monthly or hourly basis. See our hire Shopify developers page for how that works.

How do I choose between Shopify development companies?

Lists of the top Shopify development companies tell you little about how your own store will be built. Ask to see live stores and check their speed on a phone, ask how many paid apps they usually install, and make sure the store and theme code will be in your name. The best Shopify development company for you is the one that explains what each app and feature costs per month before you commit. Working with a Shopify development company in India, like us, is often cheaper than a local agency, and we overlap working hours with UK, European and Middle East clients.

Do you work on Shopify Plus?

Yes. For Plus stores we work on checkout customisation through checkout UI extensions and Shopify Functions, B2B features, multiple expansion stores and automation. Some of these features are only available on Plus, and we tell you upfront which ones need it.
