Why Shopify
Shopify is one of the most widely used ecommerce platforms on the web. The difference between stores is how they are built.

Platform ≠ build
Shopify publishes its own UK plan prices and card rates. Design, build, apps and migration are a separate, one-off cost, which is what we quote.

Migration without lost rankings
A replatform is where many stores lose search traffic. Old URLs break, product pages lose their content, and redirects are left until launch week. We map every old URL before the build starts, keep the content and structure that ranks, and check Search Console daily after go-live.
Working with a London team
A client partner at our London center runs your account on UK time. Your store is designed and built at our New Delhi headquarters, 4.5 to 5.5 hours ahead. Our core hours, 10:00 to 19:00 IST, cover your morning and early afternoon: about 4.5 hours of shared working time in winter and 5.5 hours in summer.
One person owns your account from the London center: scope, priorities, reviews and sign-off. You never chase a ticket queue.
Kick-offs, reviews and demos are booked in your morning or early afternoon, by video. Written updates follow every call.
Design, development and QA happen at our New Delhi headquarters, the team behind 1,000+ projects since 2015.
Sessions run remotely by default. If your project needs an in-person workshop in London, we agree it in the scope first.
Live: today’s working days in London and New Delhi, adjusted for British Summer Time automatically.

Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify suits most brands that want to sell without running servers. WooCommerce suits teams that want full control of a WordPress site.
| Factor | Shopify | WooCommerce |
|---|---|---|
| Hosting | Included and managed by Shopify | You choose and manage your own hosting |
| Running costs | Monthly plan fee plus payment fees | Hosting, plugins and maintenance |
| Control | Within Shopify’s platform and app ecosystem | Full control of code and data |
| Maintenance | Platform updates handled by Shopify | You or your agency keep WordPress and plugins updated |
| Best for | Brands that want to focus on selling | Content-heavy sites and custom set-ups on WordPress |
Our Shopify vs WooCommerce guide covers the full comparison. We build both, so we recommend the one that fits.

FAQ
What London businesses ask us about shopify development.

Shopify’s own UK platform fees start at £25 a month on the Basic plan paid monthly (£19 a month paid yearly), and Shopify Plus starts at £1,800 a month, plus card or third-party payment fees. The design and build is a separate cost that depends on your theme, apps, integrations and migration. We do not publish build prices; after a free call we send a fixed written quote.
