How Much Does an E-commerce Website Cost in India?

Planning your online store budget

E-commerce websites vary widely in price because they range from small stores with a few products to large platforms with thousands. Here's what drives the cost.

Core features that affect price

• Number of products and categories
• Payment gateway integration (Razorpay, Stripe, UPI, COD)
• Cart and checkout experience
• Order and inventory management
• Discounts, coupons and offers
• Mobile-first shopping experience

Ready-made vs custom

Platforms like Shopify or WooCommerce are quicker and cheaper to start with. A fully custom store (built in React/Node) costs more but gives complete control, better performance and no monthly platform fees.

Hidden costs to plan for

• Payment gateway transaction fees
• Hosting and domain
• Product photography
• Ongoing maintenance

WhatsApp ordering — a smart option for India

For many small Indian businesses, a full checkout isn't necessary. A catalogue with WhatsApp ordering is affordable, familiar to customers and converts well.
