What is different about selling on Shopify in India
Payments
Shopify Payments is not available in India, so you will use a third-party gateway such as Razorpay, PayU or Cashfree. Compare UPI, card and wallet support, settlement terms and Shopify’s own transaction fee on your plan, not just the headline gateway rate.
Cash on delivery
Cash on delivery remains important in many categories, particularly outside large cities. It also brings return-to-origin costs, so plan verification, delivery messaging and any limits on order value or pincode.
GST and invoices
Shopify’s tax settings can be configured for India, but product tax rates and invoice requirements need input from your CA. Many stores also add an app for GST-compliant invoices.
Shipping
Courier aggregators such as Shiprocket can simplify multi-carrier shipping and tracking. Pincode serviceability and honest delivery estimates reduce support queries and abandoned orders.
Privacy and consumer rules
Ecommerce businesses in India should take advice on the Consumer Protection (E-Commerce) Rules, Legal Metrology requirements and the Digital Personal Data Protection Act as its rules take effect. We build the pages and consent tools you need, and your adviser confirms the wording.
Questions from Indian brands
Do you meet clients in person?
We work remotely across India by video call and a shared project board, and meet in person in Kozhikode and Bangalore.
Which time zone do you work in?
We work on Indian Standard Time, so our working day matches yours.
Can you set up local payments and taxes?
Yes. We set up Indian gateways such as Razorpay, PayU and Cashfree, cash on delivery, GST settings and courier apps such as Shiprocket or Delhivery, and test real orders before launch.
