An ecommerce website in Coimbatore starts from about ₹45,000 at ICore, and many stores across India cost ₹80,000 to ₹3,00,000 or more. The build is only part of the bill. Payment fees, platform plans and hosting continue every month, and on a growing store they can overtake the build cost within a year.
This guide shows what you pay at the start, what you keep paying, and how to compare two quotes fairly.
What you pay to build the store
The price depends on the platform, the number of products and the systems the store must connect to.
| Store type | What pushes the price up |
|---|---|
| Small store on Shopify or WooCommerce | Custom design, product upload, payment and shipping setup |
| Growing store with a large catalogue | Filters, variants, bulk upload, speed work |
| B2B or wholesale store | Dealer logins, tiered pricing, GST invoices |
| Custom PHP or React store | Features built from scratch, no off-the-shelf theme |
| Marketplace with many sellers | Seller accounts, commissions, payouts |
| Store type | ICore price (GST extra) |
|---|---|
| Shopify or WooCommerce | ₹45,000 to ₹75,000 |
| Custom PHP or React | ₹75,000 to ₹2,25,000 |
| Magento | ₹80,000 to ₹1,50,000 |
These are usual ranges. The price goes higher when the requirement is bigger, such as more products, custom features or more integrations. You get a fixed quote after a free call. Every ICore store includes payment gateway setup, shipping integration and an admin panel your team can run. A standard store goes live in about 12 weeks, and we charge no commission on your sales.

What you pay every month
These costs depend more on your platform than on your developer.
| Cost | Shopify | WooCommerce, custom PHP or React |
|---|---|---|
| Platform plan | ₹1,499 a month on Basic, ₹5,599 on Grow (yearly billing, before 18% GST) | No platform plan |
| Fee on each sale using a third-party gateway | 2% on Basic, 1% on Grow | None |
| Gateway fee, such as Razorpay's standard 2% + GST | About 2.36% | About 2.36% |
| Hosting | Included | Paid by you, roughly ₹5,000 to ₹25,000 a year with maintenance |
Razorpay's standard plan has no setup fee and no annual maintenance charge. Its rates and new-merchant offers change, so check the current page before you budget.
A worked example: ₹3,00,000 of sales a month
Here is the monthly bill for a store on Shopify Basic, paying Razorpay's standard rate.
| Item | Monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Shopify Basic with 18% GST | ₹1,769 |
| Shopify third-party fee, 2% | ₹6,000 |
| Razorpay, 2.36% | ₹7,080 |
| Total, before paid apps | ₹14,849 |
The Shopify part alone is ₹7,769 a month, or about ₹93,000 a year. A WooCommerce or custom store avoids that charge, but pays for hosting and keeps its own updates running. That trade-off, not the build price, often decides the right platform.
Shopify Grow costs ₹4,100 a month more than Basic before GST, but halves the fee on sales. On these prices, Grow becomes cheaper once sales pass about ₹4.1 lakh a month.
Costs people forget
- Product photos and descriptions. Someone has to write and upload them.
- Paid apps or plugins. Reviews, invoices and WhatsApp updates can each add a monthly fee.
- Support after launch. ICore includes 30 days; ask what happens on day 31.
- Marketing. A new store gets few visitors until SEO or ads bring them. Read what ecommerce SEO involves.
Why the cheapest quote can cost more
A slow or awkward store loses sales you never see. Baymard Institute puts average cart abandonment at 70.22%, rising to 80.45% on mobile. StatCounter shows about 64% of Indian web traffic on mobile. A Google and Deloitte study found that a 0.1-second speed gain lifted retail conversions by 8.4%.
So test any quote against your phone, not just the price. If a cheaper store loses even a small share of checkouts, the saving disappears.
How to compare two quotes
- Ask for every item in writing, with hosting, apps and support shown separately.
- Ask who owns the code, the domain and the customer data.
- Ask which gateways and shipping partners are included.
- Ask to see live stores the company has built.
- Add up the first year's total, not just the build price.
