E-commerce websites have the widest price range of any website type — anywhere from ₹40,000 to several lakhs. Here's what actually moves the number.
Platform Choice
WooCommerce (WordPress-based) is the most cost-effective for small-to-mid catalogs. Custom-built stores or Shopify make sense at higher product volumes or specific integration needs.
Product Catalog Size
Under 50 products keeps setup cost low; 500+ products requires bulk import tooling, better search/filtering, and more QA time — all adding to cost.
Payment Gateway Integration
Razorpay, PayU and similar gateways typically have a flat integration cost plus their own per-transaction fees (1.8-2.5% typically) — separate from your website build cost.
Inventory & Order Management
Basic order tracking is usually included; integration with external inventory/ERP systems is an additional scope item.
Ongoing Costs to Budget For
- Hosting suited for e-commerce traffic (slightly higher than basic hosting)
- Payment gateway transaction fees
- SSL certificate (usually included with modern hosting)
- Maintenance plan for security and updates — see our maintenance plans
