Shopify is one of the easiest platforms to launch an online store on — and one of the easiest to launch badly, with the wrong theme, missing Indian payment options, and apps that slow it down. We build Shopify stores properly: custom design, the right apps, Razorpay and PayU configured correctly, and a store that is actually ready for Indian shoppers.
Web Techneeq is a Shopify website development company based in Andheri East, Mumbai. Founded in 2013 by Hansel Gonsalves, the company builds custom Shopify themes, integrates Shopify apps, configures Indian payment gateways including Razorpay and PayU, and handles Shopify store migrations for businesses across Mumbai and India. Office: 74 Technopark, C Cross Road, Opp. SEEPZ Gate No. 2, MIDC, Andheri East, Mumbai 400093.
Shopify has become one of the most popular platforms for online stores worldwide, and for good reason — managed hosting, built-in security, a large app ecosystem, and a relatively fast path from idea to live store. But Shopify was built primarily for the US and global markets first, which means certain things — Indian payment gateways, GST invoicing, and local logistics integration — require correct configuration rather than working automatically out of the box.
We have been building Shopify stores for Indian businesses since the platform became popular in this market. We know which apps genuinely help an Indian store and which ones just add loading time. We know how to configure Razorpay and PayU correctly since Shopify Payments is not available in India. And we know how to design a custom Shopify theme that does not look like every other store using the same purchased template.
Shopify charges a separate monthly subscription directly to you — this is independent of our development fee. Here is what each tier is generally suited for.
This is the most important early decision for your Shopify project. Here is an honest breakdown.
We build both. For most new stores, we recommend starting with a customised Theme Store theme to launch faster and validate the business — then investing in a custom theme once the store has proven traction. For established brands wanting a flagship online presence from day one, a custom build is worth the additional investment.
Shopify's biggest strength is its app ecosystem. We select apps carefully — only what genuinely helps your store, since every app can affect loading speed.
Since Shopify Payments is unavailable in India, we integrate Razorpay or PayU as your primary payment processor, supporting UPI, cards, and net banking.
Integration with Indian logistics providers for automated shipping rate calculation, label generation, and order tracking for your customers.
Apps that generate GST-compliant invoices automatically with each order, correctly calculated for your product categories.
Automated email or WhatsApp reminders to customers who added products to cart but did not complete checkout — recovering otherwise lost sales.
Product review collection and display apps that build social proof and trust signals directly on product pages.
Apps that connect your Shopify store to email and SMS marketing platforms for customer retention and promotional campaigns.
We do not believe in installing every available app. A bloated app list slows your store and creates maintenance complexity. We recommend only what your specific business genuinely needs.
All work done in-house at our Andheri East office.
Themes built from scratch in Shopify's Liquid templating language, designed specifically for your brand — not a customised template that looks like dozens of other stores.

Discuss Your Needs →Ongoing support for theme updates, app management, performance monitoring, and assistance during high-traffic sale events. Several clients have been on retainer with us for years.
View Plans →Shopify Payments does not work in India. We know this and configure Razorpay or PayU correctly from the start — not as something discovered and fixed after launch.
We build genuinely custom themes when a project calls for it — not just colour and logo changes on a purchased template. Your store will look like your brand, not like a theme.
We do not install every app available. We recommend only what genuinely helps your specific store, because every app adds potential loading time and maintenance complexity.
We optimise everything Shopify allows us to control — and we are upfront about its limitations so you are not surprised later.
We have built e-commerce stores for chemical manufacturers, beauty brands, and luxury goods businesses. That range of experience shapes smarter decisions on your Shopify build.
Shopify stores need ongoing attention — sale events, app updates, seasonal promotions. We offer maintenance retainers and several clients have stayed with us for years.
We understand your product catalogue, expected volume, and feature needs, then guide you on the right Shopify plan based on your stage of business.
We help you decide between a customised Theme Store theme and a fully custom build based on budget, timeline, and how unique your storefront needs to be.
We design and build your store's look and feel in Liquid, Shopify's templating language, ensuring it works correctly across desktop and mobile.
We upload your products and install the right apps for payments, shipping, and compliance — only what is genuinely needed.
Razorpay or PayU integration, shipping zones and rates, and GST tax configuration — all tested before launch.
We test every payment method and the full purchase journey, go live, and train your team on managing products and orders within Shopify's admin.

How much does Shopify website development cost in Mumbai?
Excluding Shopify's own subscription, a customised Theme Store store typically costs Rs.40,000 to Rs.80,000. A fully custom Shopify theme ranges from Rs.80,000 to Rs.1,80,000. Shopify Plus development starts from Rs.2,50,000. This is separate from Shopify's monthly plan fee, which you pay directly to Shopify.
What does Shopify itself cost monthly?
Shopify's pricing has several tiers — Basic for new stores, Shopify for growing stores, Advanced for larger stores needing detailed reporting, and Shopify Plus for high-volume enterprise needs. Shopify sets and updates this pricing directly, so we recommend checking their official site or asking us during your consultation for the latest details.
Theme Store theme or custom theme — which should I choose?
A customised Theme Store theme is faster and more affordable, suitable for most new stores wanting to launch quickly. A custom theme gives complete design freedom and a truly unique storefront, but costs more and takes longer. We recommend starting with a customised theme for new stores and investing in custom once the business has proven traction.
Can I use Razorpay or PayU with Shopify in India?
Yes. Shopify Payments is not available in India, but Shopify supports Razorpay and PayU through its App Store. We configure these as standard for every Indian Shopify store, along with UPI, net banking, and COD where appropriate.
Which Shopify apps do you install for Indian stores?
Commonly: payment gateway apps for Razorpay or PayU, shipping apps for Indian logistics providers, GST invoicing apps, review apps, and abandoned cart recovery apps. We install only what genuinely benefits your specific store.
Can you migrate my existing store to Shopify?
Yes. We migrate from WooCommerce, Magento, or other platforms to Shopify, including product catalogue, customer data, and SEO-preserving redirects. We also handle migrations away from Shopify if your needs change.
Do you build Shopify Plus stores?
Yes, for businesses with genuinely high transaction volumes or enterprise requirements. We assess honestly whether Plus is necessary for your situation or whether standard plans would serve you equally well at lower cost.
How long does Shopify development take?
A customised Theme Store store typically takes 3 to 5 weeks. A fully custom theme build takes 6 to 10 weeks. Shopify Plus projects with complex integrations can take longer depending on scope.
Will my Shopify store be optimised for SEO?
Yes, within Shopify's platform constraints. We optimise titles, meta descriptions, image alt text, structured data, navigation, and page speed. We are also upfront about Shopify's SEO limitations — such as fixed URL structures for certain page types — so you understand them from the start.
Shopify makes the technical side of running a store easier, but it does not make good decisions for you automatically. The theme you choose, the apps you install, and how you configure Indian payments all directly affect whether your store converts visitors into customers.
