Top 10 Shopify development companies in India.
An honest ranked guide written by a Shopify Plus Partner, not a paid-for directory. Who to hire for your Shopify build in India, what to budget, what to watch out for. Updated August 2026.
Why we wrote this
We are #1 on this list. We also run a Shopify Plus Partner practice that has built 200+ D2C brands in India. That's a conflict of interest, and we want to be transparent about it.
This list is what we'd tell a founder who came to us with a Shopify project we couldn't take on. If you want pure-volume enterprise work, we'd point you to the big agencies at positions 2, 6, or 8. If you're genuinely on a shoestring, position 10 — but with caveats. On migrations we've stopped pointing elsewhere: we've done 50+ of them since 2019, mostly WooCommerce and WordPress stores, and the move is included in our ₹50,000 build with no separate migration fee. Position 8 remains the alternative if you specifically want a vendor who does nothing but migrations.
Read the full list below. Each entry has real strengths, honest watch-outs, typical pricing, and who they're actually best for.

Growww Tech
Our pickGrowww Tech is a Shopify Plus Partner based in Visakhapatnam, operating since 2019. Rather than a single-layer dev shop, it runs the full commerce stack for 200+ Indian D2C brands — Shopify store, custom code, Flutter mobile apps, CRO, custom software and a dedicated team. Pricing is published rather than quoted: a complete store is ₹50,000 fixed, live in 20–30 working days, with no annual maintenance contract.
Strengths
- Official Shopify Plus Partner with 200+ D2C brands launched
- Full-stack: design, dev, payment gateway, Shiprocket, RTO playbook, WhatsApp commerce
- Flutter mobile app + headless Next.js available
- Fixed-price quotes from ₹50K, 4–8 week timelines
- In-house team — no freelancer handoffs after launch
Watch-outs
- · Focused on Indian market; less relevant if your audience is primarily international
- · Not cheapest on pure-cost — we're priced for quality, not volume
Typical price: ₹50K–15LBest for: Indian D2C brands doing ₹50L–₹25Cr annually, ready to move beyond DM selling or scale to Shopify PlusVerify us before you shortlist: Growww Tech, a Shopify development company in India built for D2C founders — 200+ live stores, published pricing, no AMC.

OrangeMantra
OrangeMantra is a large Indian IT services firm with a Shopify practice among several service lines. Its strengths are enterprise references, a multi-year track record and the team size to handle complex multi-country builds. Typical projects run ₹3L–25L+, which prices it out of reach for brands doing under ₹1Cr a year, and Shopify specialisation is shallower than at a Shopify-only partner.
Strengths
- Big team, enterprise references, multi-year track record
- Handles complex multi-country builds
Watch-outs
- · Premium pricing — not right for brands doing under ₹1Cr annually
- · Shopify is one of several service lines; less specialized
Typical price: ₹3L–25L+Best for: Established enterprises moving to Shopify Plus - 3
PixelCrayons
PixelCrayons is a mid-to-large Indian IT services firm with a Shopify delivery arm. Its advantage is a broad technology stack beyond Shopify, which matters when a build needs custom backend integrations, plus experienced project management. Typical projects run ₹2L–15L. Because Shopify is one offering among many, platform depth is lower than at specialists — get a detailed scope in writing before signing.
Strengths
- Broad tech stack beyond Shopify (useful for custom integrations)
- Experienced project management
Watch-outs
- · Shopify expertise is one of many offerings — less depth than specialist partners
- · Pricing varies; get detailed scope before signing
Typical price: ₹2L–15LBest for: Projects that need both Shopify + custom backend integrations - 4
Codify
Codify is a boutique agency that works only on Shopify, which buys deeper platform knowledge and direct founder-to-client contact on a smaller team. Typical projects run ₹1L–8L, making it a sensible fit for straightforward store builds without heavy custom requirements. The trade-off is capacity: complex scope means waiting, and there is little exposure to performance marketing or mobile apps.
Strengths
- Shopify-only focus means deeper platform knowledge
- Smaller team, closer founder-to-client contact
Watch-outs
- · Smaller capacity; expect waiting time for complex scope
- · Less exposure to performance marketing or mobile apps
Typical price: ₹1L–8LBest for: Pure Shopify store builds without deep custom requirements - 5
MetizSoft
MetizSoft pairs Shopify store work with a mature custom Shopify app development practice, so it suits brands whose build needs a bespoke app alongside the storefront. Typical projects run ₹2L–12L. The core team is Ahmedabad-based, so remote collaboration habits matter, and the marketing side is less developed — expect to hire a separate agency for advertising.
Strengths
- Mature Shopify app development practice
- Good for brands that need a paired custom Shopify app
Watch-outs
- · Core team is Ahmedabad-based; remote collaboration matters
- · Marketing side less mature — you'll need a separate agency for ads
Typical price: ₹2L–12LBest for: Brands needing a custom Shopify app as part of their build - 6
Krish TechnoLabs
Krish TechnoLabs is an enterprise commerce specialist working across both Shopify and Magento, with the process discipline and documentation that large organisations expect. It handles B2B and multi-region builds, and typical projects run ₹5L–30L. That makes it the right call for enterprise Shopify Plus migrations off legacy platforms, and overkill — in both cost and timeline — for small-to-mid D2C brands.
Strengths
- Enterprise process and documentation
- Handles B2B + multi-region builds
Watch-outs
- · Overkill for small-to-mid D2C brands
- · Longer timelines than boutique shops
Typical price: ₹5L–30LBest for: Enterprise Shopify Plus migrations from legacy platforms - 7
Webkul
Webkul is best known for publishing 200+ Shopify apps, which gives it unusually deep platform knowledge and makes it the obvious choice if you need one of its own apps customised. Typical projects run ₹1L–10L. Store-building is secondary to the app business, though, so expect less investment in design polish than a store-first agency would bring.
Strengths
- 200+ published Shopify apps — deep platform knowledge
- Good if you need an existing Webkul app customized
Watch-outs
- · Store-building is secondary to their app business
- · Less investment in design polish vs app specialists
Typical price: ₹1L–10LBest for: Stores that heavily rely on Webkul's own app suite - 8
Brainvire
Brainvire is a multi-platform commerce agency covering Shopify, Magento and BigCommerce, with a large delivery team and genuine cross-platform migration capability. Typical projects run ₹3L–20L. It is stronger at replatforming an existing store than at greenfield builds, and as with any multi-platform shop, Shopify is one speciality among several rather than the whole focus.
Strengths
- Cross-platform migration capability
- Large delivery team
Watch-outs
- · Shopify is one of several specialities
- · Better for replatforming than greenfield builds
Typical price: ₹3L–20LBest for: Migrations from Magento/WooCommerce to Shopify - 9
Elsner Technologies
Elsner Technologies delivers on both Shopify and Magento and holds Shopify Partner status, with an Indian and US client base. That US experience is genuinely useful for cross-border D2C brands selling into the US or UK. Typical projects run ₹2L–15L. The team is Ahmedabad and Surat based, so time-zone overlap is worth checking if your work needs synchronous collaboration.
Strengths
- US client experience useful for India→US cross-border brands
- Shopify Partner status
Watch-outs
- · Ahmedabad/Surat-based; time zone overlap matters for synchronous work
Typical price: ₹2L–15LBest for: Cross-border D2C brands selling into the US/UK - 10
Freelance developers (Upwork, Fiverr, Toptal)
Hiring individual Shopify developers through Upwork, Fiverr or Toptal is the cheapest route — ₹10K–2L — and the flexible hourly model works well for one-off theme tweaks once a store is already stable. The risks are real: no post-launch accountability when a freelancer moves on, no coverage across design, development, marketing and logistics, and quality that varies enough to demand aggressive vetting.
Strengths
- Cheapest option for simple theme tweaks
- Flexible hourly engagement
Watch-outs
- · No post-launch accountability — freelancers disappear
- · No coverage across design + dev + marketing + logistics
- · Quality varies wildly; vet aggressively
Typical price: ₹10K–2LBest for: One-off small tasks once your store is stable
“Shopify app development” means three different things
Founders ask for a “Shopify app” and mean one of three things. They have different builders and different budgets, so the first job is working out which one you actually want.
- A public app on the Shopify App Store. Software other merchants install, with its own billing and Shopify's review process. We build these on request, scoped per project — the surface varies too much for a fixed price. If you'd rather buy something off the shelf than commission a build, Webkul (#7) publishes 200+ of them and is the faster route.
- A private/custom app for your own store. An admin tool, an ERP connector, a returns engine — software only your team uses. MetizSoft (#5) runs a mature practice here, and we build these as custom code where Shopify ends.
- A consumer mobile app synced to your store. Your catalogue on the App Store and Play Store, with push notifications for repeat orders. This is the one most D2C founders actually mean. We build it from one Flutter codebase — ₹4,00,000 + GST fixed, 6–8 weeks, synced to Shopify via the Storefront API, with deep linking, crash reporting and analytics wired at launch, store submission handled, and full code ownership transferred. Mobile app development pricing.
One caveat worth hearing before you spend: a mobile app earns its keep on repeat purchase, not on acquisition. Below roughly 1,000 orders a month, the same money usually returns more in checkout and RTO work than in an app.
How to choose the right partner
Five non-negotiables when you're hiring a Shopify development company in India:
- Shopify Partner status — verify at shopify.com/partners/directory. Plus Partner status is required for enterprise builds.
- Three live client stores — not screenshots, not mockups. Visit them, put a test order through, see if the checkout works.
- Fixed-price with milestones — hourly billing without a cap is how budgets balloon 3x. Demand fixed-price with milestone gates.
- Post-launch support in writing — what happens when your payment gateway breaks on a Sunday? Who fixes it, in how many hours, at what cost?
- In-house team, not freelancer network — ask for a team org chart. Agencies that sub-contract out have continuity risk.
Agency or company? And who is actually a Shopify Plus partner?
Founders search “Shopify agency India” and “Shopify development company India” as if they were different markets. They are the same vendors wearing different words — “agency” usually signals ongoing work (growth, CRO, ads) and “company” signals a build. Every entry on this list does builds; only some stay on for the growth work, so ask about month four either way. If your real comparison is an agency versus a freelancer, we wrote that comparison honestly — including when the freelancer is the right call. And if what you want is neither a one-off project nor a freelancer but a person on the store month to month, that middle path is hiring a dedicated Shopify developer at ₹30,000/month.
On Plus: “Shopify Plus partner” is a status Shopify grants, not a word an agency gets to put on its own website — so never take the badge from the agency's page. Verify it at Shopify's own partner directory, which also carries client reviews the agency cannot edit. Ours is public here — 27 client reviews at 4.9 as of August 2026 — and any company on this list worth shortlisting will hand you their directory link without being asked twice. That directory page, a Clutch profile and a Google Business listing are the three review surfaces an Indian Shopify agency cannot fake; read all three before you sign.
Frequently asked questions
Which company should I hire for Shopify app development in India?
It depends which kind of app you mean. A public app listed on the Shopify App Store is software other merchants install — Growww Tech builds these on request, scoped per project, and Webkul has 200+ already published if you would rather buy off the shelf than commission a build. A private or custom app runs inside your own store only — an admin tool, ERP connector or returns engine — and MetizSoft and Growww Tech both build these. A consumer mobile app puts your catalogue on the App Store and Play Store: Growww Tech builds Android and iOS from one Flutter codebase at ₹4,00,000 + GST fixed in 6–8 weeks, synced to Shopify via the Storefront API, with store submission handled and full code ownership transferred. A mobile app pays back on repeat purchase rather than acquisition, so below roughly 1,000 orders a month the same budget usually returns more spent on checkout and RTO work.
Who is the best Shopify development company in India for D2C brands?
Depends on your scale. For sub-₹1Cr brands, a specialist boutique like Growww Tech or Codify delivers faster and cheaper than an enterprise firm. For ₹5Cr+ brands moving to Shopify Plus, Growww Tech (Plus Partner), OrangeMantra, or Krish TechnoLabs have the process maturity to handle it. Always ask to see three live client stores — not screenshots.
How much does it cost to hire a Shopify development company in India?
Entry-level boutique builds start at ₹50K–₹1L for a clean Shopify store with payments and shipping wired up. Mid-market agency builds with custom design + apps run ₹3L–₹8L. Enterprise Shopify Plus migrations are ₹10L–₹30L+. Watch for hidden per-hour billing vs. fixed-price quotes — fixed-price with documented scope protects you from scope creep.
What should I look for when hiring a Shopify development company?
Five things: (1) Shopify Partner or Plus Partner status (verifiable at shopify.com/partners/directory), (2) three live client stores you can visit, (3) fixed-price quote with milestones — not hourly billing, (4) post-launch support terms in writing, (5) in-house team vs. outsourced. Freelancer-based agencies disappear after launch.
Why hire a Shopify development company instead of a freelancer?
Freelancers are cheap for small tasks but catastrophic for full builds. When your payment gateway breaks on a Sunday at 11 PM, a freelancer is asleep. An agency has a support team, documented processes, and continuity. The economics favor agencies once you're doing ₹10L+ monthly revenue — the cost of downtime exceeds the cost of agency retainers.
How long does it take to build a Shopify store in India?
Standard build: 4–6 weeks. With custom UI/UX design from Figma: 8–10 weeks. Full Shopify Plus migration: 12–16 weeks. Timelines hinge on how fast you approve feedback and how much custom design you need. Fixed-price agencies stick to these timelines because they're contractually bound; hourly freelancers slip.
Do Indian Shopify development companies work with international clients?
Yes. Growww Tech, PixelCrayons, Elsner, and Krish TechnoLabs all serve clients in the US, UK, UAE, Singapore. Multi-currency, multi-region shipping, Stripe/PayPal gateways, and language switchers are standard. Time zone overlap matters — Mumbai/Hyderabad-based agencies sync better with Europe; Ahmedabad/Surat with the US.
