E-commerce built to sell.
not just to showcase.
An e-commerce store isn't a catalogue with a checkout button — it's a conversion machine that has to load fast, work flawlessly on mobile, guide buyers through a frictionless checkout, and keep them coming back. Clarvity builds e-commerce stores that treat every element — from product page to payment gateway to post-purchase flow — as a conversion lever, not a design decoration.
Every store component. every integration.
Clarvity builds e-commerce stores end-to-end — platform selection, store setup, payment gateways, shipping integration, GST compliance, and post-launch conversion optimisation. WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, or fully custom — whichever fits your business, not whichever pays us the most commission.
Store Setup & Architecture
WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, or custom — set up right from day one with the platform that actually fits your business.
Product Catalogue & Filters
Clean category structure, proper attributes, filter-friendly setup — so buyers can find what they want without twelve scrolls.
Payment Gateway Integration
Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU, Stripe — with UPI, cards, wallets, EMI, and COD all wired in and tested before launch.
Shipping & Logistics
Delhivery, Shiprocket, Bluedart, Ecom Express — order tracking, label printing, and returns automation configured.
Mobile-First Checkout
One-page, low-friction, thumb-friendly design — because 73% of India's e-commerce buyers checkout on mobile, not desktop.
Analytics & Conversion Setup
GA4, Meta Pixel, cart abandonment tracking, funnel analysis — you know exactly where buyers drop, not just how many.
What is e-commerce development?
E-commerce development is the practice of building and configuring online stores where customers can browse products, add them to cart, and complete purchases through integrated payment systems. In India, e-commerce development typically involves platforms like WooCommerce (WordPress), Shopify, Magento, or fully custom builds — integrated with local payment gateways (Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU), shipping providers (Delhivery, Shiprocket, Bluedart), and tax compliance (GST-compliant invoicing, HSN codes).
The mistake most Indian brands make is treating e-commerce as a website with a "Buy" button. It isn't. E-commerce is a full operational system — orders flow into fulfilment, payments settle into your bank, GST invoices get raised, shipping labels get printed, returns need routing, and every step needs to work reliably at 3am on a Sunday. Getting the pretty product page right is the easy part; getting the operational plumbing right is where amateur builds fail.
Platform choice matters less than build quality. A well-built WooCommerce store outperforms a poorly-built custom platform every time. A properly-configured Shopify Starter beats an over-engineered Magento build for most SMBs. Clarvity picks the platform based on your business model, catalogue depth, customisation needs, and growth trajectory — not on whichever tool we like using this quarter.
How Clarvity builds an e-commerce store.
Every build follows the same four-stage arc — discover, design, integrate, optimise — but the platform, feature set, and integration depth are custom to your business, catalogue, and buyer journey. Weekly progress reviews during build, staging environment access throughout, no big-bang launches without a full UAT sign-off.
Discover & scope
Business model, catalogue, buyer journey mapped. Platform recommendation follows fit, not commission. Written scope before we begin.
Design & build
Store architecture, product pages, checkout — designed mobile-first, built on staging, reviewed weekly against your feedback.
Integrate & launch
Payment gateways, shipping, GST, analytics — all wired up, end-to-end tested with real transactions, launched after UAT sign-off.
Optimise & scale
Cart abandonment recovery, A/B testing on product pages, checkout friction analysis — post-launch work that compounds ROAS.
Every build includes.
End-to-end e-commerce build. Platform-agnostic. You own everything.
Full source code, hosting access, admin credentials, everything handed over. No lock-in, no dependency on Clarvity to make changes later.

What is e-commerce development?
E-commerce development is the practice of building and configuring online stores where customers can browse products, add them to cart, and complete purchases through integrated payment systems. In India, e-commerce development typically involves platforms like WooCommerce (WordPress), Shopify, Magento, or fully custom builds, integrated with local payment gateways (Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU), shipping providers (Delhivery, Shiprocket, Bluedart), and tax compliance (GST-compliant invoicing, HSN codes).
How much does it cost to build an e-commerce website in India?
E-commerce build costs in India range widely by platform and scope. A basic WooCommerce store with 50-200 products typically costs ₹75,000-₹2,00,000. Mid-market WooCommerce with custom features and integrations runs ₹2,00,000-₹6,00,000. Shopify setup with theme customisation is ₹50,000-₹3,00,000 (plus Shopify's monthly subscription of $29-$399). Fully custom builds on Laravel, Node.js, or MERN stack start at ₹5,00,000 and go up to ₹25,00,000+ for complex marketplaces. Enterprise Magento builds begin at ₹10,00,000. Ongoing maintenance runs ₹15,000-₹1,00,000+/month.
Which platform should I use — WooCommerce, Shopify, Magento, or custom?
It depends on your business model, catalogue size, and customisation needs. Small D2C brands with 100-500 products typically choose WooCommerce (ownership, WordPress ecosystem) or Shopify (fastest launch, hosted). Mid-market brands needing deep customisation lean WooCommerce for its flexibility. Fashion and lifestyle brands wanting the best out-of-box UX often pick Shopify. Enterprises with complex multi-brand catalogues use Magento. Marketplaces, subscription businesses, or unique business logic usually need custom builds on Laravel, Node, or Next.js. Clarvity is platform-agnostic and recommends based on fit, not commission.
How long does it take to build an e-commerce store?
Timelines depend on platform and complexity. A basic WooCommerce or Shopify store with standard features typically takes 3-6 weeks. Mid-market builds with custom design, integrations, and 200+ products take 6-12 weeks. Fully custom e-commerce builds take 3-9 months depending on scope. Enterprise Magento or marketplace builds range 6-18 months. Timeline gets accelerated significantly when your product data, brand assets, and content are ready before development starts — that is usually where 30-40% of project time gets lost.
Which payment gateways and shipping providers do you integrate?
For payments in India, Clarvity integrates Razorpay (most popular, best UPI and wallet support), Cashfree, PayU, Instamojo (smaller stores), and Stripe (international-facing stores). All include UPI, credit and debit cards, wallets (Paytm, PhonePe, Amazon Pay), EMI, and COD options where relevant. For shipping, we integrate Delhivery (most widely used), Shiprocket (aggregator with best rates for SMBs), Bluedart (premium), Ecom Express, and DTDC — with order tracking, label printing, and returns automation configured out of the box.
Do you handle GST compliance and tax setup?
Yes. Every Clarvity e-commerce build includes GST-compliant invoicing with HSN code configuration per product, GSTIN capture at checkout for B2B buyers, state-wise CGST/SGST/IGST calculation based on shipping address, and integration with GST-filing tools like ClearTax or Zoho Books where relevant. We also configure invoice numbering, tax reports, and export-ready reports for your accountant. What we don't do is provide accounting or tax advisory — for that you'll still need a CA — but the technical setup is handled end-to-end.
