Shopify is a fair trade: you give up some control and pay a monthly fee, and in exchange you never think about servers, security patches, PCI compliance or a checkout going down during a sale. For a growing consumer brand that is often exactly the right deal, and the platform handles traffic spikes that would flatten a modest WooCommerce setup.

Where Shopify stores go wrong is the same place every store goes wrong: a bought theme, a stack of apps each adding scripts, and a product page that never answers why anyone should buy. I build custom Shopify themes in Liquid, keep the app list disciplined, and configure the India-specific parts — UPI, COD, GST invoicing and courier integration — that generic international templates ignore.

Theme work happens on a duplicate theme, so your live store keeps selling while the new one is built.

What is included

01

Custom Shopify theme development

Bespoke Liquid themes matching your brand, built for speed rather than assembled from a marketplace purchase.

02

Complete store setup

Products, collections, variants, metafields, navigation, taxes, shipping zones and policy pages configured properly.

03

India payments and shipping

Razorpay and PhonePe alongside Shopify Payments, COD workflows, and Shiprocket or Delhivery integration.

04

Platform migration

Moving from WooCommerce, Magento or a custom store with products, customers, orders and SEO redirects intact.

05

Conversion optimisation

Product page rebuilds, bundle offers, upsells, cart drawer improvements and abandoned cart recovery flows.

06

Shopify app configuration

Selecting a minimal app stack that adds revenue rather than page weight, and removing the ones that do not.

Why it is worth doing properly

  • No servers to maintain and no security patching on your plate
  • Handles sale-day traffic spikes without any preparation from you
  • Built-in analytics, discounts, gift cards and abandoned cart recovery
  • A custom theme that loads fast instead of a bloated marketplace one

Technology used

How it works

From first call to launch

The same seven steps on every project, so you always know what happens next.

01

Discovery call

A straight conversation about what the business does, what is not working and what success looks like. No slide deck. If I am not the right fit for the project, I will say so here rather than three weeks in.

45-60 minutes
02

Written scope and fixed quote

You get a document listing exactly what will be built, what is excluded, the timeline in milestones and a fixed price. Nothing starts until you have read it and agreed. The scope is yours to keep either way.

2-4 days
03

Design you can click

Wireframes first for structure, then visual design. For websites you approve a working page in the browser rather than a flat image, so what you sign off is genuinely what gets built.

1-2 weeks
04

Build in visible milestones

Development runs in two-week milestones on a staging URL you can open any time. You see progress as it happens instead of receiving a status report about work you cannot verify.

2-16 weeks
05

Testing and your review

Cross-browser and mobile testing, speed and security checks, and a review round where your team uses the system properly and lists what needs changing before launch.

3-7 days
06

Launch and handover

Deployment, analytics and Search Console setup, a walkthrough recording for your team, documentation, and full credentials handed over. You own everything, including the source code.

1-2 days
07

Support after launch

A warranty period covering any bugs at no charge, then an optional maintenance plan for updates, backups, monitoring and new features. No lock-in either way.

FAQ

Shopify — common questions

The questions that come up on almost every enquiry, answered honestly.

Shopify or WooCommerce for an Indian brand?
Shopify if you want zero infrastructure responsibility and are comfortable with the monthly fee plus transaction charges. WooCommerce if you want full control, no recurring platform fee and deeper customisation. Roughly, Shopify suits consumer brands scaling fast; WooCommerce suits businesses with unusual requirements or tight running costs.
Can I accept UPI and COD on Shopify?
Yes. Razorpay or PhonePe as the gateway covers UPI, cards, netbanking and wallets, and COD is available with pin-code and order-value rules. Partial advance payment on COD orders is also possible and noticeably reduces fake orders.
Does Shopify handle GST invoicing?
Not natively in a compliant form, so it needs an app or a custom integration. I configure GST-compliant invoice generation with your GSTIN, HSN codes and the correct interstate tax split, delivered to customers automatically.
Can you migrate my WooCommerce store to Shopify?
Yes. Products with variants and images, customers, order history and reviews transfer across, and every old URL gets a redirect so your search rankings survive the move.
Why is my Shopify store slow?
Almost always apps. Each one injects scripts that run on every page. An audit identifies which apps cost the most load time against what they contribute, plus theme-level fixes like image sizing, lazy loading and removing unused Liquid sections.
