Shopify or a custom ecommerce website: which should I choose?

Shopify if your catalogue is straightforward and you want to launch fast with a large app ecosystem. Custom if your pricing, product configuration, B2B rules or checkout do not fit a platform, or if platform fees matter at your volume. We will tell you which, with reasons, before you commit.

Can you connect WhatsApp to my online store?

Yes. Order confirmations, shipping updates and abandoned cart nudges through the WhatsApp Business API, plus a click to chat for questions on product pages. It is one of the integrations we do most.

Which payment gateways do you support in India?

Razorpay, PayU, Cashfree and PhonePe for Indian stores; Stripe and PayPal for stores selling abroad. UPI, cards, net banking and wallets are covered by all of them.

Can you migrate my existing ecommerce website?

Yes: products, customers, orders and, importantly, the URLs, with redirects so you do not lose the search rankings you already have.

How much does an ecommerce website cost in India?

It depends on the platform, the catalogue size and the integrations. A Shopify store designed around your brand is the lower end; a custom store with B2B pricing and ERP integration is the upper. Send us the catalogue size and what the store must connect to, and you will have a quote within two working days.

Ecommerce Website Development Company India

A store should be the easiest place to buy from you.

We build ecommerce websites two ways. Shopify development when you want a proven platform, a fast setup and an ecosystem of apps: we design the theme around your brand instead of bending your brand around a theme. Custom ecommerce development when your catalogue, pricing or checkout does not fit a platform: we build exactly what your business does. Both get the same design care, the same performance discipline, and the integrations that make an online store run: payments, shipping, WhatsApp, accounting.

We work with manufacturers, D2C brands and retailers, including stores selling overseas.

What we cover

In depth,
not in passing.

Shopify

When the platform fits, Shopify is the fastest way to a store that works. We design the theme around your brand, set up the catalogue and connect the apps that matter.

Custom theme, not a bought one with your logo
Catalogue, variants, collections, discounts
Payments, shipping zones, taxes for India
Apps chosen for need, not for the app store

How We
Work

the process

four steps, no surprises

Asket Studio

#1

Decide

Shopify or custom? We look at your catalogue, your pricing, your checkout and your team, and recommend one with reasons. Sometimes the answer is the cheaper one.

Asket Studio

#2

Design

The store designed around the brand and the buying journey: product pages that answer questions, a cart that does not lose people, a checkout with as few steps as possible.

#3

Build & connect

The theme or the custom build, then the plumbing: payments, shipping, WhatsApp, accounting and inventory, tested with real orders before a customer ever places one.

#4

Launch & train

Go-live with analytics in place, and your team trained to add products, run offers and read the numbers without calling us.

Before / after

the difference.

A list of product names with "call us for the price" is a catalogue, not a shop. A store shows the product, the price and a way to buy it in one tap.
