Platforms

Ecommerce Platforms

These ecommerce platforms are the ones we build, migrate and market stores on. Each page covers who the platform suits, its strengths and limits, and what to consider for payments, shipping and marketplace connections in India.

Overview

Ecommerce Platforms

Your ecommerce platform shapes how quickly you can launch, how much you pay in apps and transaction fees, and how hard it is to add features later. Many Indian brands start on whatever was quickest, then hit limits: Shopify apps piling up, WooCommerce slowing under traffic, or a custom build that only one developer understands.

Each platform page explains strengths, limits, costs to consider, and how it handles Indian payment gateways, COD, GST invoicing, shipping integrations and marketplace syncing. We cover Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, headless setups and custom builds. Platform choice is based on catalogue size, expected order volume, customisation needs, team skills and budget. For migrations, we plan product, customer and order data transfer along with SEO redirects.

FAQ

Questions we often hear

Straight answers to the things clients ask us most. If yours isn’t here, just ask.

Still have a question?Talk to a strategist. We usually reply within one working day.Ask us directly
Is Shopify or WooCommerce better for an Indian store?
Shopify is quicker to launch and easier to manage, with predictable costs. WooCommerce gives more control and flexibility but needs more maintenance. Both support Indian payment gateways and shipping partners. Your team's skills and customisation needs usually decide it.
When should a brand move to a headless ecommerce setup?
Consider headless when you need a highly custom front end, very fast performance, content-heavy shopping or several storefronts from one backend. It costs more to build and maintain, so it suits brands with strong traffic and in-house or agency technical support.
Can Nians combine several platforms in one engagement?
Yes, and most clients do. One strategist coordinates the work, so you get one plan, one team and one report.
Do you work with businesses outside India?
Yes. We work with brands in India and abroad, across time zones.
