Service 10
E-commerce & Online Store
A storefront that takes orders and payments properly — catalogue, variants, offers, shipping and returns — with inventory that stays in agreement across every channel you sell on.

Anyone selling products across a site, a marketplace and social
Selling online breaks in a predictable place: not the storefront, but the second channel. The moment orders arrive from a website, a marketplace and Instagram at once, inventory becomes three people editing one sheet and something oversells. We build the store and the single order spine underneath it at the same time.

Listed as plainly as the inclusions. Anything here can be scoped on top — quoted before it starts, never assumed.
How it works
Payments that cannot double-charge
Order creation is idempotent and reconciled against the gateway's own record, not against a browser redirect. A provider timeout mid-payment resolves to exactly one order — the failure mode most stores discover the expensive way.
One stock number, every channel
Marketplace and social orders write into the same ledger as the website. Overselling on a marketplace costs a metric that is hard to repair, so this is built in rather than added after the first incident.
Priced for how you actually sell
Retail and wholesale rates, minimum quantities, slab pricing and customer-specific rates. Indian businesses rarely sell at one price to everyone, and most platforms assume otherwise.
Own the storefront, not a monthly rent
Built on your infrastructure with your data — no per-order commission and no platform that can change its terms. If a hosted platform genuinely fits you better, we will say so on the first call.

E-commerce FAQ
Straight answers
Including where the honest answer is 'no' or 'buy something else'.
Why not just use Shopify?
For a straightforward retail catalogue, Shopify is often the right answer and we will tell you so. Custom earns its keep when you have wholesale slabs, made-to-order items, an existing ERP to sync with, or a commission bill that has grown past what a build costs. We compare the two on the first call with your actual numbers.
What does ₹18,000 include?
A single-channel storefront: catalogue, cart, one payment gateway, shipping rules, the admin panel and go-live on your domain. Multi-channel order sync, marketplace integrations, subscriptions and wholesale portals are scoped on top and quoted before starting.
Can it connect to our existing billing or ERP?
Yes — that is usually the point. Orders, stock and customers sync both ways so the store is a channel of the business rather than an island. If your existing system has no API, we quote the connector honestly rather than pretending it is free.
