Do you handle app and plugin integrations?

Yes, including auditing existing apps for ones that are slowing the store down unnecessarily.

Can you help after the store is live?

Yes, ongoing optimization is often where the biggest conversion gains happen, well after initial launch.

How much does Shopify development cost?

Cost depends on whether you use and customise an existing theme or build a custom one, the number of templates, integrations and migration work. Our Shopify development cost guide explains the drivers; we estimate after a short scoping call.

Should we use a theme or a custom Shopify theme?

A well-chosen theme with custom sections suits many stores. A custom theme makes sense when the brand experience, performance goals or merchandising needs outgrow what themes support.

Can you speed up our Shopify store?

Usually. We audit apps, scripts, images and theme code, remove what is unused and fix the heaviest issues, then measure Core Web Vitals before and after.

Do you work with Shopify Plus?

Yes, including stores using Shopify Plus features. Platform features change, so we confirm current capabilities against Shopify's documentation during scoping.

Do you work with Shopify brands across India?

Yes. We work remotely with D2C and retail brands in any Indian city on new stores, redesigns, theme development, integrations and conversion improvements.

Can you set up COD, UPI and GST invoicing on Shopify?

Yes. These are configured through Shopify's settings, your payment provider and invoicing apps or integrations. We set them up, test the flows end to end and document how they work for your team.

Shopify development company in India

Shopify experiences built to make buying easier.

A Shopify store is only as good as the experience between browsing and checkout. We build and tune stores to close that gap.

Overview

What does Shopify development involve?

Shopify development is building and improving stores on Shopify: theme development and customisation in Liquid, custom sections merchants can edit, product and collection templates, app and system integrations, performance work and, for some brands, headless storefronts with Hydrogen.

Shopify handles hosting, checkout and core commerce, so development focuses on the shopping experience, speed, merchandising flexibility and how the store connects to marketing, inventory and fulfilment systems.

Across India

Shopify stores for Indian D2C and retail brands

A good Shopify store is more than a nice theme. It is fast on mobile, makes products easy to find and compare, answers delivery and returns questions before they become doubts, and gets out of the way at checkout. We build and improve Shopify stores for brands across India, remotely.

Selling in India brings specific requirements: cash on delivery and UPI expectations, pin-code-level delivery promises, GST-ready invoicing and a shopping journey that often starts on Instagram or WhatsApp. We plan the store around those from the start instead of bolting on apps later.

01

Payments and COD, configured properly

UPI, cards, wallets and cash on delivery set up through your payment provider and Shopify's settings, with clear rules so COD doesn't quietly erode margins.

02

Delivery promises customers trust

Pin-code checks, delivery estimates and shipping integrations so buyers know when an order will arrive before they pay.

03

Fewer apps, faster pages

We audit the app stack and build custom sections where an app would slow the theme, because speed on mobile is what most Indian shoppers notice first.

04

Built for social-led traffic

Landing pages, collections and product pages designed for visitors arriving from Instagram, WhatsApp and marketplaces, not only from the homepage.

Where we work

One team, five markets

We work with clients in India, the UAE, the UK, Australia and Singapore. Every project runs remotely with the same team; we don't have local offices.

Scope, decisions and progress are written down, with video calls, a shared project board and regular demos. Tell us your time zone, invoicing currency and contract requirements in your brief, and we confirm them in the written scope before work starts.

Summaries of the rules we design for, checked 17 October 2026. They are not legal advice.

India
The DPDP Act 2023 and DPDP Rules 2025 phase in from November 2025. Most duties for businesses, including notices, security safeguards, breach reporting and user rights, apply from May 2027.
United Arab Emirates
The federal Personal Data Protection Law (Federal Decree-Law No. 45 of 2021) has applied since 2 January 2022, and the DIFC has its own Data Protection Law. Arabic and right-to-left layouts are planned from the start when your audience needs them.
United Kingdom
UK GDPR covers personal data, and the ICO's storage and access guidance, finalised on 29 April 2026, sets the rules for cookies and analytics. We use WCAG 2.2 AA as the accessibility benchmark.
Australia
The Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles apply. From 10 December 2026, privacy policies must also describe significant decisions that software makes or substantially informs (APP 1.7 to 1.9).
Singapore
The Personal Data Protection Act 2012 sets consent, purpose and protection obligations for collecting and using personal data.

Problems we solve

Where thingsusually break.

Sound familiar?

The store looks generic and does not reflect the brand.
Page speed is poor, especially on mobile, where most shoppers browse.
Product pages and checkout flow are losing customers before purchase.
Too many apps have been layered on, slowing the store and complicating maintenance.

What we do about it

New Shopify store builds, from theme development to checkout configuration.
Redesigns of underperforming stores, focused on speed and clarity.
Custom Shopify theme development and app integration.
Ongoing conversion optimization for existing stores.

Who it's for

Honest boundaries

Not the rightfit if…

Better to say so now than halfway through a project. Here's when to choose a different first step.

01

A multi-vendor marketplace

Shopify supports marketplaces only through third-party apps. A purpose-built marketplace platform is often a better fit, and we'll say so during scoping.

02

Just installing a theme

If all you need is a theme from the Shopify Theme Store set up with your products, Shopify's own documentation makes that a manageable DIY job.

03

Fixing a store you don't want to measure

Speed and conversion work depends on before-and-after measurement. If analytics access isn't possible, we can't show whether changes worked.
