Choosing
Which ecommerce platform should you choose?
Shopify suits you if you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. You add features through apps, so check their recurring subscriptions when planning the store. Deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan. That makes the checkout you need a useful point to settle before choosing it.
WooCommerce is worth considering if your team already uses WordPress or your store has a lot of content. You get control over code, data and hosting, but someone must maintain hosting, updates, security and plugin compatibility. A custom storefront such as Next.js suits unusual catalogues, configurators or content-led brands; it takes more build effort and later changes generally need a developer.
You can also sell through a marketplace alongside your own store and sync stock between them. A marketplace brings traffic but sets the rules and keeps the customer relationship; your own store keeps customer data and margin, while you need to attract visitors. We recommend a platform after understanding your products and operations.
Local
What Kochi businesses need from an online store
Suppliers serving Kochi’s shipbuilding and petroleum-refining businesses may need a store that handles trade orders. Customer-specific prices, minimum order quantities and quote requests give buyers a way to order on agreed terms. Connecting the store to accounting or ERP software also reduces the need to handle orders and stock by hand across separate systems.
For a business in Kalamassery, home to the KINFRA Hi-Tech Park, that currently sells through social media or messaging, a catalogue gives customers a place to browse and pay online instead of placing each order in chat. We organise products into collections and set up useful filters and variants, such as size or colour, with their own stock and images.
Rules
What an ecommerce store in India has to handle
GST treatment changes with the supply: intra-state supplies use central GST plus state or union territory GST, while inter-state supplies use integrated GST. We configure the store’s tax settings for the products and destinations you sell to, using the decisions you make with your accountant.
India’s ecommerce rules require prominent business and customer-care details. We set up a page that displays your legal name, principal geographic address, website details, customer-care contact and grievance officer contact, so shoppers can find the information in the store.
How it runs
How an ecommerce development project runs with us
We work remotely with clients in other cities and countries using video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. You can review the work and share feedback without travelling to meet us.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, audience and goals. You help us agree the scope before design begins.
- 02
Design
We prepare product, collection and checkout pages for desktop and mobile. You review the designs and request refinements before code is written.
- 03
Import
We add a small product sample first. You check the titles, variants, prices and images before we import the full catalogue in the agreed format.
- 04
Test
You place test orders across payment methods, shipping zones, discounts and tax cases, then check stock, order emails and the records in the store admin.
- 05
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, followed by ongoing support. You have a working store and a way to track its use after launch.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather these materials and decisions for the store:
- Product photosKeep original files, with consistent backgrounds and an image for each colour variant.
- PoliciesPrepare plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms policies.
- Gateway documentsGather registration, bank and identity details; open the payment account in your business’s name.
- Delivery and tax decisionsChoose your couriers, service areas and delivery charges, and check product taxes with your accountant.
- Account accessHave domain, DNS, website, email, analytics and Google logins held in your business’s name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline of ecommerce development
The scope determines the work involved:
Catalogue complexity
Variants, bundles and products sold by weight or length need more setup than straightforward product records.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is easier to import than information spread across an old store, supplier files and photo messages.
Design
Adapting a theme involves less work than creating a custom design around unusual products or a distinct brand.
Integrations
An order export to accounting is smaller work than two-way stock and price sync with an ERP or marketplaces.
Checkout and markets
Wholesale prices, gift messages or extra currencies and languages add rules to build and test.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Kochi
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an ecommerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. The platform you choose, a product configurator and features such as subscriptions affect the scope and effort involved. We send you a free quote once the scope is agreed, so you can see what the proposed work covers before deciding how to proceed.
What is included in the store build?
We set up delivery rules and transactional emails as part of the store. Shipping can include weight-based rates, free-delivery thresholds and local pickup. Emails cover order confirmation, dispatch with tracking, refunds and password resets, with your branding and wording that matches your policies.
Can you move my existing store to a new platform?
Yes. We migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. We also map old product and category URLs to their closest new pages using permanent redirects. A live payment order followed by a refund helps check the new payment settings and order emails.
Will I own the store after it is built?
You own your domain, content and code. That means you are not locked to the team that built the store and can decide who works on it later. Keep those assets under your business’s control when arranging any future changes or support.
What should I check after the store launches?
Track conversion rate, checkout drop-off, repeat purchases and product-page speed against your figures from before launch or migration. Retest the full checkout after an app, plugin or theme change. Give each staff member a separate login with only the permissions they need.
