E-Commerce Website Development on the Right Platform for You

An online store has to do a lot of things well: help people find products, show clear prices and delivery details, take payment securely and keep orders flowing to your team. WebNest builds e-commerce sites on Shopify, WooCommerce or a custom stack, chosen around your catalogue, your team and your running budget.

The problem

Why online stores struggle

Most store problems come from the setup, not the products.

The wrong platform for the business

A small catalogue on an expensive custom build, or a complex B2B operation squeezed into a basic template, both cost money every month.

Checkout friction

Surprise delivery charges, missing payment options or a long, fiddly checkout on mobile lead shoppers to abandon their carts.

Products that are hard to manage

If adding a product or updating stock needs a developer, the store quickly falls out of date.

Nobody looking after it

Unpatched plugins, expired certificates and broken apps put orders and customer data at risk.

What we build

What an e-commerce build includes

Every store is scoped in writing before work starts. A typical build covers:

Platform choice: Shopify, WooCommerce or custom

Shopify for a reliable hosted store, WooCommerce for WordPress sites and full control, custom for marketplaces or ordering portals. See Shopify development and WordPress development.

Payments

Payment gateways such as Stripe, PayPal and Razorpay, with cards, wallets and local methods like UPI where the gateway supports them. Accounts are in your business name.

Shipping and delivery

Shipping zones, rates, free-delivery thresholds, local pickup and delivery-time messaging set up to match how you fulfil orders.

Product management

Categories, variants (size, colour, weight), stock levels and bulk import from a spreadsheet, plus training so your team can manage it.

Security

HTTPS, payment handled by the gateway rather than stored on your site, admin accounts with strong access controls, and regular backups.

Maintenance

Updates to the platform, themes and plugins, uptime checks and help adding new products — through an optional support plan.

Shopify, WooCommerce or custom: how we decide

Shopify suits brands that want a reliable hosted platform with predictable monthly fees and a large app ecosystem. WooCommerce suits businesses already on WordPress, or those that want full control of hosting and unusual pricing rules. A custom storefront makes sense for marketplaces, B2B ordering portals or catalogues that don't fit a standard template.

Before recommending anything we look at your catalogue size, how often prices change, who will manage orders and what you want to spend each month. We compare the two most popular options in Shopify vs WooCommerce.

Tax, legal pages and who's responsible

We configure the tax settings your platform offers (GST, VAT or sales tax) based on the rates and rules you give us. Deciding which taxes apply, registering for them and filing returns is the merchant's responsibility, so please confirm the setup with your accountant before launch.

The same applies to refund, shipping and privacy policies: we build the pages and link them where shoppers expect them, and you (ideally with advice) supply the wording.

Built to be found and to sell

Store pages need to rank for the products you sell and convince visitors to buy. We write clear product titles, add product structured data, keep URLs clean and give category pages useful text. On the conversion side, we keep checkout short, show delivery information early and make returns and contact details easy to find.

Selling in a particular market? See our pages for Canada, Australia and India, which cover local payment and tax considerations. For Indian stores, e-commerce builds start at ₹29,999 as part of our Premium plan; everywhere else we quote per project.

Why it helps

What a well-built store gives you

The practical difference a sound setup makes — without promising sales figures.

Running costs that fit

The right platform for your size means you don't pay for features you'll never use.

A smoother path to checkout

Clear prices, delivery details and payment options remove common reasons shoppers give up.

A store your team can run

Simple product and order management means fewer developer requests and fresher listings.

Peace of mind

Secure payments, backups and maintenance protect your orders and your customers.

Frequently asked questions

Which platform should I choose for my online store?

It depends on your catalogue, team and budget. Shopify is the simplest to run, WooCommerce gives more control on WordPress, and custom builds suit unusual requirements. We recommend one after a short consultation.

Which payment gateways can you integrate?

We can integrate gateways such as Stripe, PayPal and Razorpay, offering cards, wallets and local methods like UPI where the gateway supports them. The account is in your name and the gateway's fees apply.

Will you set up taxes for my store?

We configure the platform's tax settings using the rates and rules you provide. Which taxes apply to your business, and filing them, remain your responsibility — please confirm with your accountant.

Can you import my existing products?

Yes. We can import products from a spreadsheet or another store, or add them as part of the agreed scope.

How do you keep the store secure?

Card payments are handled by the payment gateway, the site runs over HTTPS, admin access is limited to the people who need it, and we set up backups. Ongoing updates are available through a support plan.

What does an online store cost?

For Indian stores, e-commerce builds start at ₹29,999 in our Premium plan. For other markets and larger catalogues we send a fixed, written quote after a consultation. Platform and gateway fees are paid by you.

Do you maintain the store after launch?

Yes, through an optional support plan covering updates, backups, monitoring and help with new products.
