5 Best Shopify Development Agencies in India: A Curated Shortlist
A disclosed shortlist of five Shopify development agencies in India, what each focuses on, which brands they suit and how to compare them before you hire.
Quick answer
The best Shopify development agency in India depends on your brand's size and what you need: a new store, a redesign, Shopify Plus, headless or ongoing optimisation. This shortlist covers five agencies with different strengths: ZSpace Labs (the publisher) for design-led Shopify builds with performance and conversion in the same team, Aureate Labs for Shopify development with in-house growth marketing, Magneto IT Solutions and Codilar for multi-platform and enterprise commerce, and CartCoders for a Shopify-focused development team.
- ZSpace Labs (Remote-first, serving businesses across India): D2C brands that want design, development and conversion in one team
- Aureate Labs (Surat): Brands wanting Shopify development and growth marketing from one agency
- Magneto IT Solutions (Ahmedabad): Larger retailers, B2B and marketplace projects
- Codilar (Bengaluru): Enterprise and premium retail brands
- CartCoders (Ahmedabad): Brands and agencies wanting a Shopify-only development team
Editorial disclosure
ZSpace Labs wrote this article and appears first in it as the publisher's featured entry. That ordering reflects who published the list, not an independent ranking, and we would rather say so plainly than imply otherwise.
Worth noting
Editorial disclosure: This comparison is published by ZSpace Labs, which is included in the list. We have identified the companies using publicly available information and the criteria described below. Readers should independently evaluate providers against their own project requirements.
How we chose these companies
We started from the companies that appear repeatedly in search results, directories and industry lists for this service in India, then checked each one's official website to confirm what it actually offers, where it is based and who it works with. We kept companies whose own published services match the brief, and dropped ones whose focus sat elsewhere.
Many Indian Shopify agencies appear on DesignRush and Clutch. We favoured agencies whose official websites make Shopify a central, clearly described service and whose Indian base we could confirm.
Every company was described against the same criteria:
- Relevance: the company's published services match this specific service, not just a long list of everything
- Verifiable presence: an official website and an Indian base we could confirm
- Clarity of offer: whether its site explains what it builds, how it works and who it works with
- Fit: the kinds of businesses and projects it appears best suited to, based on its own stated focus
- Shopify depth: theme development, custom sections, apps and integrations, not only store setup
The shortlist at a glance
| Agency | Main specialisation | Relevant services | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|
| ZSpace Labs | Design-led Shopify builds with performance and CRO | Store builds, custom themes and sections, redesigns, integrations, speed, CRO | D2C brands that want design, development and conversion in one team |
| Aureate Labs | Shopify development with ecommerce growth services | Shopify builds, performance, migration, maintenance, marketing | Brands wanting Shopify development and growth marketing from one agency |
| Magneto IT Solutions | Multi-platform ecommerce development | Shopify Plus, Adobe Commerce/Magento, BigCommerce, headless | Larger retailers, B2B and marketplace projects |

1. ZSpace Labs
ZSpace Labs builds and improves Shopify stores with one team covering UX, design, theme development and conversion work. It works with D2C and retail brands across India remotely, on new stores, redesigns, custom sections, app and system integrations, and speed and conversion improvements.
Its Shopify approach starts from how customers buy rather than from a theme: product discovery, delivery and returns clarity, mobile performance and a checkout that doesn't get in the way. For Indian brands that includes UPI and cash-on-delivery configuration, pin-code delivery promises and keeping app bloat down.
Where it is not the best fit: ZSpace Labs does not publish Shopify case studies or store-count figures, and it doesn't offer ongoing paid advertising management. Brands that want an agency running their ads alongside the store should look at agencies with in-house marketing.

What to look for when choosing
Whichever company you shortlist, these are the things that separate a good fit from a frustrating project:
- Live stores you can test: browse them on your phone, add to cart and check speed.
- Theme and custom-section skills: not only installing apps, which slows stores down.
- Indian commerce setup: UPI, cash on delivery, pin-code delivery checks and GST invoicing.
- Performance discipline: how they keep the theme fast as apps and sections are added.
- Conversion thinking: product pages, collections and checkout designed around buyer questions.
- Ownership and access: your Shopify account, theme code and apps should stay yours.
Questions to ask before you hire
Ask every shortlisted company the same questions, in writing, so the answers are comparable:
- Which Shopify stores have you built that are similar to ours, and can we see them live?
- Would you use an existing theme, customise one, or build custom sections, and why?
- Which apps would you add, and what would you build instead of using an app?
- How do you set up COD, UPI, delivery estimates and invoicing for Indian customers?
- What does the estimate include: design, migration, integrations, testing, training?
- What support do you offer after launch, and how are changes charged?
Typical project considerations
Theme versus custom work drives cost. A customised premium theme is quicker and cheaper; custom sections and a bespoke design take longer but fit the brand and stay faster. See Shopify theme vs custom development and the Shopify development cost guide.
Shopify or Shopify Plus. Most growing Indian D2C brands start on standard Shopify plans; Plus becomes relevant with higher volumes, B2B, or advanced checkout and automation needs. Read Shopify Plus vs Shopify.
Agency versus freelancer. A freelancer can suit small changes; a store build or redesign usually needs design, development and QA together. Our guide to choosing a Shopify agency goes deeper.
Conclusion
If you want development and growth marketing together, Aureate Labs offers both. For multi-platform or enterprise commerce, Magneto IT Solutions and Codilar bring platform breadth. For a Shopify-only development team, including white-label work, CartCoders fits.
If you want a store designed, built and tuned for conversion by one team, ZSpace Labs is set up for that. Test each agency's live stores on your phone before deciding.
