An online store is not a ₹7,999 brochure website

E-commerce website cost in India is a different question from a basic business website. A brochure site collects an enquiry. A store shows products, takes payment, records orders and usually has to deal with shipping and returns. That is why OGGY Studio does not publish a single public starting price for e-commerce. The ₹7,999 figure applies to a basic business website only. Online stores are quoted after we understand the catalogue and checkout you need.

What actually drives e-commerce website development cost in India

The build cost follows the work: how many products and variants you have, whether prices and stock change often, which payment methods you need (UPI, cards, net banking, cash on delivery), how shipping is calculated, and whether you need GST invoices, coupons or a wholesale price list. A ten-product handmade catalogue is a smaller job than a fashion store with sizes, colours and return rules. Share those details when you ask for a quote, or any 'e commerce website price in India' you see online will be guesswork.

Shopify, WordPress / WooCommerce, or a custom store

Shopify, WordPress with WooCommerce, and a custom build can all work in India. Shopify is a hosted platform with a monthly plan and an app store; WooCommerce usually means you (or your developer) manage hosting and plugins; a custom stack makes sense when the catalogue rules do not fit a theme. Each path has a different mix of one-time setup and yearly or monthly fees. OGGY Studio will recommend a fit after a requirement chat rather than pushing one platform for every shop. Gurgaon, Panipat and Delhi NCR businesses often ask about Shopify specifically; the right answer still depends on the catalogue, not the city.

Costs that continue after the site is live

The launch invoice is not the full e-commerce website cost. Payment gateways in India typically charge a percentage on each successful online payment, plus tax on that fee. Couriers charge per parcel, and cash-on-delivery can add return costs. Platform plans or paid apps may renew every month. Domain and hosting (if you are not on a fully hosted platform) renew every year. A useful quote talks about these running costs, even when they are paid to other companies, not to the developer.

How to request a store quote from OGGY Studio

WhatsApp +91 89507 60830 with what you sell, roughly how many products, whether you need UPI and COD, and whether you already use Shopify or another tool. You will get a written quote before work starts. For a simple business site without a cart, see the website cost in India guide and the pricing page instead.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an e-commerce website cost in India with OGGY Studio?

There is no single public starting price for a store, because catalogues and payments differ. You get a written quote after a short requirement chat. The ₹7,999 starting price applies only to a basic business website without a cart.

Is Shopify cheaper than a custom e-commerce website?

Shopify can be faster to launch for a standard catalogue, but you pay a platform plan and often paid apps, plus gateway fees. A custom or WooCommerce store can cost more to build and less in platform fees, or the reverse, depending on scope. Compare a two-year total, not only the build invoice.

Do payment gateway charges come on top of the development quote?

Yes. Gateway fees are charged by the payment provider on each transaction. They are not the same thing as the website development fee and should be budgeted separately.
