Choosing
Should you choose Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom store?
Shopify suits you if you want hosting, security, checkout and platform updates handled for you. You can add features through apps, though app subscriptions add recurring costs and deeper checkout changes are limited to the Shopify Plus plan. It is a practical choice when a straightforward store is more useful to your team than extensive control over checkout.
WooCommerce fits a business already using WordPress, particularly when product pages sit alongside substantial content. You control the code, data and hosting, but someone must look after hosting, updates, security and plugin compatibility. Allow for that ongoing work when deciding who will manage the store after launch.
A custom or headless storefront suits unusual catalogues, product configurators or content-led brands. It takes more build effort, and later changes often need a developer. We recommend a platform after understanding your products and operations, including how your team will manage orders and catalogue changes.
Local
What Kolkata businesses need from an online store
As a commercial and financial hub for East and Northeast India, Kolkata has retailers and distributors with different ordering needs. A retailer adding online sales needs stock linked to its shop till and a decision on click and collect. A distributor selling to other businesses may need customer-specific prices, minimum order quantities and a way to request a quote. These choices shape the catalogue and ordering screens.
Kolkata also has an information technology sector. An IT business selling products through messaging or social channels needs a catalogue that customers can browse, online payment and order tracking, so staff do not have to handle each order by hand in chat. The store needs to reflect the products and order process that business actually uses.
Rules
What an e-commerce project in India has to handle
Indian e-commerce entities must prominently display their legal name, principal geographic address, website details and customer care and grievance officer contacts. We set up space for those details on the store, using the information you provide, so customers can find the right contact.
UPI supports mobile payments to merchants in India. We configure a suitable payment gateway for your platform and business registration, and check the methods and currencies it supports alongside its refund and dispute arrangements. Gateway options include Razorpay, Stripe, PayPal and local gateways where supported.
How it runs
How an e-commerce development project runs with us
We work remotely from India using video calls, WhatsApp and shared project boards. With MSH Technologies, you can review the work and discuss decisions without travelling to a studio.
- 01
Discover
We learn about your business, customers and goals. You explain how products and orders work today, and we agree the scope of the store together before design starts.
- 02
Design
We prepare product, collection and checkout pages for desktop and mobile around how your customers shop. You review the screens and give feedback before we write code.
- 03
Check product data
We import a small sample first. You check titles, variants, prices and images; once the format is right, we import the full catalogue.
- 04
Build
We develop the agreed store on Shopify, WooCommerce or a headless Next.js storefront. You can use the agreed scope and designs to check that the build reflects your requirements.
- 05
Launch and care
We set up the domain, email, analytics and search, then provide ongoing support. You will have the store and its launch settings ready for your team to use.
Checklist
What to have ready before we talk
Gather what you have, and note the decisions your team still needs to make.
- Product spreadsheetInclude names, descriptions, prices, SKUs, variants, stock, categories, weights and package sizes. Missing weights and sizes can produce incorrect delivery charges.
- Store policiesPrepare plain-language shipping, returns, refund, privacy and terms policies for shoppers and payment-provider checks.
- Gateway documentsGather business registration, bank and identity details. Open the account in your business name and apply early; the provider decides approval.
- Tax and delivery decisionsCheck product taxes and tax-inclusive pricing with your accountant. Decide delivery areas, couriers, charges and cash on delivery.
- Account accessFind logins for your domain, DNS, existing site, email, analytics and Google accounts, held in your business name.
Cost & time
What affects the cost and timeline of e-commerce development
The work involved depends on the state of your information and the features your store needs.
Product data
A clean spreadsheet is simpler to import than information scattered across an old store, supplier documents and photos in chat.
Custom rules and markets
Wholesale price tiers, delivery date choices or extra currencies, languages and tax settings add build work.
Migration
Moving customers, order history, reviews and redirects involves more work than moving products alone. Existing customers usually need a password reset.
Apps and plugins
Each needs review for its purpose, recurring fees and possible conflicts. Removing unused additions reduces the clutter your team manages.
Avoid
Mistakes to avoid with e-commerce development
Surprise checkout charges
Show delivery and tax estimates on product or cart pages so shoppers see likely costs before the final step.
Testing only in sandbox mode
Place a real low-value order using live payment settings, then refund it. Check the order email, currency and payment updates.
Heavy product pages
Compress oversized images and load review, chat and tracking scripts only where they are needed.
Questions
Asked by businesses in Kolkata
Page updated 5 November 2026
How much does an e-commerce website cost to develop?
There is no fixed price. The size and complexity of your catalogue, the choice between an adapted theme and a custom design, and the accounting or marketplace connections you need all affect the work. Once we agree the scope, we send a free quote so you can assess the proposed work.
Should I sell through my own store or a marketplace?
The choice depends on how you want to reach and manage customers; you can also use both. A marketplace brings ready traffic but sets the rules and keeps the customer relationship. Your own store keeps customer data and margin, while your business must attract its own visitors. Stock can be synced across both.
What is included in an e-commerce store build?
A store build covers the catalogue, product pages, cart, checkout, accounts, policy pages and the admin your team uses. We also test paid, failed, cancelled and refunded orders against stock, order records and customer emails. Order confirmation, dispatch, refund and password-reset emails need your branding and policy wording.
Can you move my existing store to a new platform?
Yes. We can migrate products, customers and order history where the platforms allow it. Before a move, map old product and category URLs to their closest new pages, including pages for products you no longer sell. Server-side permanent redirects help visitors and search engines reach the new pages.
Will I own the store after it is built?
Yes. You own your domain, content and code, with no lock-in to the team that built the store. That gives you control over those assets if your business later changes how it manages the website or chooses another team to work on it.
What should we check after the store launches?
Track conversion rate, average order value, 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.
