What an online store costs, and why
An online store is priced by what it has to do, not by its page count. The cart, checkout, payment gateway, shipping rules and order emails come with every store; what moves the price is the design, whether it runs on Shopify or WooCommerce or on its own code, how many products need loading and extras such as wholesale price lists or a Tally link.

FAQ
Questions
How much does an e-commerce website cost in India?
With this calculator's rates, a Shopify or WooCommerce store starts at ₹25,000–₹60,000 with a ready-made theme and ₹60,000–₹1.4 lakh with a custom design, including 5 pages, cart, checkout and a payment gateway. A typical 8-page store with 100 products loaded, SEO setup and orders on WhatsApp comes to ₹77,000–₹1.9 lakh.
Is Shopify cheaper than a custom-coded online store?
To build, yes. Here, custom code adds ₹1–2 lakh for the store's own cart, checkout and order management. Shopify charges a monthly plan and WooCommerce needs hosting and paid plugins, while a custom-coded store has no platform fee but needs hosting and upkeep. Custom code pays off when you need your own pricing rules, speed or workflows.
How much does it cost to add products to an online store?
Loading products you supply, with names, prices, photos and descriptions, is priced at ₹30–₹80 a product here, so 500 products adds about ₹15,000–₹40,000. Photography and writing product descriptions are extra.
How long does it take to build an online store?
About 3–5 weeks for a ready-made theme on Shopify or WooCommerce, and 5–10 weeks for a custom-designed, custom-coded store. Product data and photos arriving late is the most common delay.
Can wholesale buyers see their own prices?
Yes, with a B2B or wholesale portal: approved buyers log in and see their price lists and bulk-order options. On Shopify or WooCommerce it adds ₹30,000–₹80,000 here, and in a custom-coded store ₹60,000–₹1.5 lakh.
