Ecommerce website development
Hostlyx handles ecommerce website development on WooCommerce, Shopify or a custom cart. We set up products, Razorpay or Stripe payments, GST or VAT invoices, shipping rates and courier links, then test real orders end to end before launch. You get a written fixed quote first, and the store, products and customer data stay in your name.
An online store has more moving parts than a business website: products and variants, stock, payments, tax, shipping, order emails and refunds. If any one of them is set up wrongly, customers abandon the checkout or orders arrive that you cannot fulfil. Our ecommerce website development covers each part and tests them together before a single customer sees the store.
Indian stores usually need Razorpay or another local gateway, GST-compliant invoices and courier integrations. Stores selling to the UK, US or Australia often use Stripe, with VAT or sales tax handled by region. We set up either, or both, depending on where you sell, and explain the trade-offs between WooCommerce, Shopify and a custom build before you commit.
What is included
Platform choice
A written comparison of WooCommerce, Shopify and a custom cart for your products, budget and team, so the choice is made on facts.
Product catalogue
Products, variants, images and categories set up cleanly, with bulk imports from spreadsheets where you already keep your product data.
Payments
Razorpay for Indian cards, UPI and netbanking, Stripe for international cards, plus cash on delivery or bank transfer where it suits your customers.
GST and VAT invoices
Tax rules and invoice templates showing GSTIN, HSN codes and tax splits for India, or VAT and sales tax details for other regions.
Shipping and stock
Shipping zones and rates, courier integrations, stock tracking and low-stock alerts, so you never sell what you do not have.
Checkout and speed
A short, mobile-friendly checkout and fast product pages, tested on real phones, because slow pages and long forms lose sales.
Tools and platforms: WooCommerce, Shopify, Laravel, Razorpay, Stripe, Shiprocket

Questions people ask
How much does an ecommerce website cost?
The cost depends on the platform, the size of your catalogue, the payment and shipping integrations and any custom features. We send a written fixed quote after a discovery call. Payment gateway fees and any Shopify subscription are separate and paid directly to those providers.
Should I choose WooCommerce or Shopify?
Shopify is quicker to run and handles hosting for you, but charges a monthly fee and limits some customisation. WooCommerce runs on your own hosting, gives full control of the code and data, and suits stores needing custom features. We recommend one in writing based on your needs.
Can my store issue GST invoices?
Yes. We set up GST rules and invoice templates that show your GSTIN, the customer's details, HSN or SAC codes and the CGST, SGST or IGST split, so invoices are ready for your accountant.
Can I accept payments from customers outside India?
Yes. Stripe handles international cards in many currencies, and Razorpay can accept some international payments too. We set up the gateway that fits your markets and test it before launch.
Can you host my online store?
We host WooCommerce and custom stores on our own cPanel servers, where our developers can fix store and server problems together. Shopify stores run on Shopify's own hosting, and we connect your domain to them.
