Shopify website development cost in India 2026, in rupees

A Shopify store in India has two bills: the build, paid once, and Shopify’s plan, paid every month to Shopify. This page gives our build price in rupees, what an Indian checkout needs (UPI, cards through Razorpay or Cashfree, cash on delivery), how Shiprocket fits in, where GST lands, and what 203 Shopify stores we measured most often got wrong.

How much does Shopify website development cost in India in 2026?

Our India list prices a Shopify store at ₹35,000 for up to 50 products, and ₹75,000 for up to 500 products with abandoned-cart recovery, email and SMS flows, and reviews and upsells. A headless or custom build is quoted after a scoping call; custom projects on our India list typically start at ₹1,50,000. The city you sell from does not change the figure. The catalogue and the checkout do.

GST is covered further down. Every line of both tiers is on our ecommerce page.

What does a Shopify store in India cost every month?

Shopify bills its plan to you directly, and the current price in rupees is on Shopify’s own pricing page. On top of the plan come paid apps if you choose any, the payment gateway’s fee on each order, shipping, and the domain. When the checkout runs through a third-party gateway, Shopify can add its own transaction fee depending on the plan, so read the plan table before you pick one. If you want someone to keep the store updated and fixed, our care plans in India start at ₹2,500 a month.

Which payment gateways work on a Shopify store in India?

Indian buyers expect UPI first, then cards, net banking and wallets. On Shopify these usually come through a third-party gateway such as Razorpay or Cashfree, which puts UPI, cards, net banking and wallets into one checkout and settles the money to your bank account. The gateway charges a fee on each payment; its current rates are on its own pricing page. Connecting the gateway you choose is part of the checkout work in our store build.

Should a Shopify store in India offer cash on delivery?

For most consumer stores, yes, with rules. Cash on delivery is a manual payment method in Shopify, so it can be switched on without a gateway. It also brings return-to-origin orders when a buyer refuses the parcel, and each one usually costs you shipping both ways. The common controls are a COD limit by order value, COD only on pin codes your courier covers, and a confirmation message before you dispatch. Decide the rule before launch, not after the first returns.

How does shipping work with Shiprocket?

Shiprocket is a shipping aggregator: one account books pickups with several courier companies, prints labels and tracks orders, and its Shopify app pulls orders across so nobody retypes an address. You pay Shiprocket per shipment, at rates that depend on weight and zone. The part that matters in the build is that the shipping rates your customers see at checkout match what you will actually pay, so set them from the rate card, not from a guess.

Is GST extra on a Shopify website quote?

Two GST questions come up, and they are different. The first is on the build: website development is a taxable service in India at 18% GST, so ask whether a quote includes it before you compare two. The second is on your sales: the store has to charge the right GST rate on what it sells. Shopify’s tax settings for India take your GSTIN and let you override the rate for products that differ. Set them before the first order, and make sure your invoices show your GSTIN.

What do Shopify stores most often get wrong?

We put 203 Shopify storefronts through the same nine checks we run before quoting any project, and published the results as open data. One store passed all nine, and the median store passed 5 of 9. This is the share that fell short on each check, meaning it failed or only partly passed.

Speed is one reading from one place, so treat it as a warning, not a verdict. The rest do not depend on the theme you buy. Titles, descriptions and alt text are typed in, the headline is a decision, and analytics is switched on. They are the parts most easily skipped when a store is set up in a hurry, and the parts our nine checks look for first.
