Ecommerce website cost in India

Ecommerce website cost in India, line by line.

Ecommerce website cost in India has two parts that are often blurred together: the one-time cost of building the store, and the monthly cost of running it. This guide separates them and names what moves each.

CodingMarble builds stores on Shopify, WooCommerce and custom code, working remotely from India. The store build is a fixed package at USD 1,800, displayed in your own currency, and its contents are listed below without rounding.

One-time

The build is USD 1,800, fixed.

The Ultra / E-commerce package covers six pages, a product catalogue with the first ten products set up, cart, payment-ready checkout, inventory, coupons, order emails, customer accounts and invoices, in 30 days.

Recurring

Running costs belong to providers.

Hosting or a Shopify plan, payment provider charges per order, paid apps and shipping partners bill you directly. They are not studio fees, and they continue whoever builds the store.

Variable

Catalogue and rules move the scope.

Ten products with one price each is a small job. Two thousand products with variants, tiered pricing and tax rules is a different project, and the written scope says so.

Build cost

What drives ecommerce website development cost.

Catalogue shape matters more than catalogue size. Products with sizes, colours, bundles or made-to-order options need more careful data modelling than a flat list. A jewellery shop with weight-based pricing, or a D2C brand selling subscriptions, will spend more on product logic than on page design.

Checkout is the second driver. A single payment provider with flat shipping is straightforward. Cash on delivery rules, pin code serviceability, multiple couriers, GST invoices and partial refunds each add build and testing effort. Integrations with inventory, accounting or an ERP sit on the far end and are scoped as separate, named items rather than folded into a vague total.

  • Variants, bundles and pricing rules
  • Payment and shipping complexity
  • Tax invoices and order emails
  • Inventory, accounting or ERP sync

Platform and monthly cost

Shopify, WooCommerce or custom: where the money goes.

Shopify pricing in India is a subscription paid to Shopify, plus charges for paid themes and apps you choose to add. In exchange, hosting, security and checkout are handled for you. A Shopify store monthly cost is therefore predictable, and it never ends. CodingMarble does not resell Shopify or take a share of those fees.

WooCommerce and custom stores reverse the pattern. There is no platform subscription, but you pay for hosting and you need someone to apply updates. A custom ecommerce package suits unusual catalogues or checkout rules that apps handle badly. For most new stores the right platform is whichever keeps your ecommerce website monthly cost and your own workload lowest.

  • Shopify subscription paid to Shopify
  • WooCommerce needs hosting and updates
  • Custom code for unusual rules
  • No studio commission on sales

Beyond the package

When a store needs more than USD 1,800.

The fixed price covers a complete single-seller store. It does not cover loading a large catalogue, product photography, copywriting for hundreds of items, or migrating orders and customers from an old platform. These are real tasks with real hours, and each is quoted in writing as an addition so the base price stays honest.

Vendor portals, multi-vendor marketplaces, B2B ordering with customer-specific prices and ERP synchronisation are not packages. They are quoted individually in a written scope with a fixed USD price. A shopping app alongside the website is a separate fixed package at USD 5,400. An existing store that needs rethinking starts from USD 500 under the complex redesign package.

  • Bulk catalogue loading quoted separately
  • Marketplaces scoped individually
  • E-commerce App, USD 5,400
  • Store redesign from USD 500

What is covered

What an ecommerce website quotation should itemise.

A store quote with a single number and no list hides its assumptions. These six items should each be written down.

  1. Catalogue setup

    How many products are entered by the studio and how the rest are added. The package sets up the first ten and trains you on the rest.

  2. Checkout and payments

    Which payment provider is connected, using credentials from your own account. Provider charges per transaction are billed to you by them, never by the studio.

  3. Shipping and tax rules

    Flat, weight-based or pin code based shipping, cash on delivery limits and tax invoices. Each rule is named in the scope before build starts.

  4. Accounts and order emails

    Customer login, order history, confirmation and dispatch emails, and invoice generation. These are inside the fixed package, written in your brand voice.

  5. Platform and hosting fees

    Shopify plan, hosting, domain, paid themes and apps. All are held in your name, so the store stays yours if you change developers.

  6. Launch and handover

    Test orders, redirect checks and a handover of source code and admin access after final payment. Ongoing care is quoted in writing on request.
