What kinds of online stores do we build in Mohali?
We build three main kinds of stores: a local retail shop going online, a D2C brand selling across India, and a B2B ordering portal for dealers. Each needs a different setup.
Retail store going online
A local shop that already has walk-in customers adds a website so regulars can order from home and new buyers from Kharar, Zirakpur or other cities can find it. Local delivery and store pickup options often matter here.
D2C brand
A brand that makes its own products, such as clothing, skincare, snacks or home goods, and sells straight to buyers across India. These stores need strong product pages, ad tracking and smooth checkout.
B2B ordering portal
A manufacturer or distributor in the Phase 8B Industrial Area or nearby Derabassi belt that wants dealers to place repeat orders online, see their own prices and check order status. This usually needs custom work.
Shopify vs WooCommerce vs custom: which platform is right?
Shopify suits most D2C brands, WooCommerce suits shops that also want a strong blog on WordPress, and custom Laravel suits B2B portals with special rules.
| Platform | Best for | Things to know |
|---|---|---|
| Shopify | D2C brands that want easy management | Monthly plan fee, many ready apps. See Shopify development. |
| WooCommerce | Shops that want a store plus content on WordPress | Needs good hosting and care. See WordPress development. |
| Custom (Laravel) | B2B portals and special pricing rules | Higher build effort, full control over features |
We look at your product count, order volume, team skills and future plans before we suggest one.
Which features matter most for Indian online buyers?
Indian buyers expect UPI, a fair cash on delivery option, clear shipping charges, and order updates on WhatsApp. Missing any of these can lose sales.
UPI and cards
Popular Indian payment gateways with UPI, cards, net banking and wallets.
COD control
Cash on Delivery with limits by pincode or order value to reduce fake orders.
Shipping
Courier integration with pincode check, tracking links and return pickup.
WhatsApp updates
Order confirmation, shipping and delivery messages on WhatsApp.
GST invoices
Correct tax settings and downloadable invoices for B2B buyers.
Fast mobile pages
Quick product and checkout pages on mobile data.
Product pages that answer buyer doubts
Online buyers cannot touch the product. So the product page must answer their questions. We plan each page with clear photos from many angles, size or weight details, material, care steps, delivery time to their pincode and the return rule in simple words.
For clothing stores we add a size chart in inches and centimetres. For food and skincare products we list ingredients and shelf life. For spare parts and industrial goods we add model numbers and a compatibility table, so dealers order the right item the first time.
How do we take a store from launch to first sales?
We plan, build, test and launch the store, then connect it to Google Shopping, the Meta catalogue and SEO so that real buyers start to arrive.
A store with no visitors gets no orders. After launch, most stores need a push. We set up product feeds for Google Shopping, Meta catalogue for Instagram and Facebook shops, and basic SEO for category pages. Our Google Ads team can then run shopping campaigns.
For Instagram and Facebook selling, our Meta Ads team runs catalogue ads that show buyers the products they viewed.

Running the store day to day
Once the store is live, someone must add products, check orders, pack and ship, and answer buyer questions. Before we build, we ask who in your team will do each job. Then we set up the admin so it is easy for them.
- Simple sheet-based product upload for large catalogues
- Order alerts on email and WhatsApp for your packing team
- Low stock alerts so popular items do not go out of stock
- Monthly sales and top product reports for the owner
How long does it take to build an online store?
A simple store with a small catalogue often takes a few weeks. A large store or a B2B portal with dealer pricing takes a few months. The biggest delay is usually product data, not design.
| Store type | Usual timeline | What slows it down |
|---|---|---|
| Small retail store on Shopify | A few weeks | Late product photos and descriptions |
| WooCommerce store with blog | A few weeks to two months | Content writing and hosting setup |
| D2C brand store with ads setup | Around one to two months | Brand design approvals and tracking tests |
| Custom B2B dealer portal | A few months | Pricing rules, billing software sync and dealer testing |
We share a week by week plan at the start. If your photos and product sheet are ready on day one, the project moves much faster.
- Product list in a sheet with name, price, SKU, weight and stock
- At least three clear photos per product
- GST number and business bank account for the payment gateway
- Shipping rules: free shipping limit, COD areas, return window
- Policy text for privacy, refund, shipping and terms
- Domain name and business email
How do payments, GST and shipping work on an Indian store?
Payments go through an Indian payment gateway that supports UPI, cards, net banking and wallets. GST is set per product category, and shipping is linked with a courier aggregator so labels and tracking happen inside the store admin.
Payment setup
We help you apply for the gateway, submit the right documents and connect it to the store. We test a real UPI payment, a card payment and a failed payment, so you know what the buyer sees in each case.
GST and invoices
We set tax rates by product type and show prices with or without tax, as you prefer. B2B buyers can enter their GSTIN at checkout, and the invoice shows it. Please confirm tax rates with your CA; we set up what they advise.
Shipping and returns
We connect a courier service so you can check pincode service, print labels, share tracking links and book return pickups. For Mohali, Kharar, Zirakpur and Chandigarh buyers, we can also add same-day local delivery or store pickup.
How to choose an ecommerce development company in Mohali
Choose a team that asks about your products, buyers and daily operations before it talks about design. Ask to see live stores, ask who owns the accounts, and ask what support you get after launch.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can my online store connect with my billing software?
In many cases, yes, through an API or a sync app. We check your billing software first and tell you what is possible.
Can you build a dealer ordering portal?
Yes. We build custom B2B portals with dealer logins, special price lists, order history and invoice downloads.
How much does an ecommerce website cost in Mohali?
There is no single price. Cost depends on the platform, design work, number of products, custom features like dealer pricing, integrations with billing or courier software, and whether you want marketing setup. Shopify has a monthly plan fee and some paid apps. On a free call we understand your needs and share a clear written quote.
Which is better for a small shop, Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify is easier to manage and needs less technical care, so it suits many small shops and D2C brands. WooCommerce runs on WordPress and suits shops that want a lot of blog content and full control of hosting. Both can take UPI and COD. We suggest one after looking at your products, team skills and budget.
Can I sell on Amazon and my own website at the same time?
Yes. Many brands sell on marketplaces and on their own store. Your own website gives you buyer data, better margins and repeat orders. We can help keep stock in sync so that one product is not sold twice. Marketplace account setup itself is handled on the marketplace's own seller panel.
Do you provide support after the store goes live?
Yes. We offer monthly care for updates, backups, small changes, speed checks and help when an app or payment stops working. For urgent problems like a down store, our parent team offers 24x7 emergency support. Regular support hours are Monday to Friday, 9:30 AM to 6:30 PM IST.
Will my online store work well on mobile phones?
Yes. Most Indian buyers shop on mobile data, so we design for small screens first. We keep images light, make buttons easy to tap and keep checkout short. Before launch we test the full order flow on Android and iPhone with UPI, card and COD payments.
Can you add products for me?
Yes. We can upload your products from a sheet, write short product descriptions in simple English and set up categories and filters. For large catalogues we use bulk upload tools. You only need to send product names, prices, photos and stock details in an agreed format.
