Do you build custom Shopify themes or customise existing ones?
+
Both. Most brands should start with a well-chosen theme configured properly. A custom Online Store 2.0 theme earns its cost when your merchandising or PDP logic is genuinely unusual, or when the brand design bar is high enough that a stock theme visibly caps it. If a bought theme will do the job, I will say so on the call rather than sell you the bigger build.
Will my store work with Razorpay, UPI and COD?
+
Yes. Razorpay, Shopify Payments, UPI, netbanking and COD with verification, plus GST-compliant invoicing and the shipping logic to match. This matters more than most founders expect: on Indian stores a large share of the abandoned-cart problem is simply a checkout that does not offer the payment method the customer intended to use.
Can you migrate my WooCommerce or Magento store to Shopify?
+
Yes: products, variants, customers, order history, and content. The part that decides whether the migration is a success is the redirect map: every old product, collection and blog URL mapped to its new home before launch, plus a content equivalence audit so you are not quietly shipping thinner pages. Migrations that lose rankings almost always lost them here, not in the theme.
Why is my Shopify store slow?
+
Usually apps. Every installed app injects scripts into your theme, and most stores carry several they stopped using months ago — including ones that keep loading after being "removed". After that: oversized hero images, third-party fonts, and review or chat widgets loading before the product image. I profile the store and give you the ranked list rather than guessing at a rebuild.
Does Shopify handle SEO properly out of the box?
+
Partly. The base is clean and fast, but several ranking-relevant defaults need fixing: variant and paginated URL canonicals, collection filter URLs generating crawlable duplicates, thin default collection pages, and incomplete Product and Offer markup. Structured data matters more every year (71% of pages ChatGPT cites carry it, according to Ahrefs), so schema is part of the build from the start.
Should I go headless with Hydrogen?
+
Only for a specific reason: heavy content-plus-commerce needs, an unusual storefront experience, or performance requirements a Liquid theme genuinely cannot meet. Headless adds real engineering cost and removes some of the theme-editor convenience your team relies on. For most Indian D2C brands under a few crore in revenue, a well-built OS 2.0 theme is the better call and I will say so.
How long does a Shopify build take?
+
Configured launch store: two to three weeks. Custom OS 2.0 theme: six to ten weeks. Migration: four to eight weeks depending on catalogue and URL count. Headless or Plus builds: eight to twelve weeks. Speed and conversion engagements: two to three weeks. Exact dates get confirmed in the written proposal.
What does it cost?
+
Quoted as a fixed fee against a written scope after the call. Catalogue size, integrations and theme decisions set the number. If you want published prices before you get on a call, my agency packages Shopify work: launch stores from ₹50,000, custom themes from ₹1,25,000, and Shopify Plus or headless builds from ₹3,00,000. Those numbers are on the page and the same for everyone. If you need a first store live cheaply rather than a custom build, the agency also ships ecommerce websites at fixed prices.
