In short

Looking for a Shopify development company in India? Pick one that builds around conversion, not just design. I'm Vishal Pothur, a Hyderabad-based Shopify developer and growth operator. I build new stores, customise themes and migrate existing sites for Indian D2C, fashion and ethnic-wear brands, with payments, COD, tracking and SEO set up properly.

Serving brands across India

Built by someone who also runs the ads.

Most Shopify developers in India build pretty stores that don't sell. Because I also run the paid media and CRO, I build stores around conversion from day one - speed, clarity and a path to checkout that actually works.

From Hyderabad I've helped Indian brands launch and scale on Shopify, and taken international brands like Divya Hair Paris from idea to a live, conversion-led store.

Local FAQ

Shopify development in India - questions, answered.

Do you work with brands outside Hyderabad? +
Yes. I work with brands across India and internationally, including Divya Hair Paris and Saphir Thai Spa in France. Projects run remotely with regular calls and clear milestones.
Can you migrate my existing store? +
Yes. That includes re-platforming onto Shopify from WooCommerce or a custom build, and moving to a faster Shopify theme. URL mapping, 301 redirects and tracking QA are part of every migration so rankings and data survive the move.
Do you handle marketing too? +
Yes, and that is the advantage. The store and the growth engine are built together, so product pages, tracking, SEO and paid campaigns are planned as one system instead of being handed between separate agencies.

Need a Shopify partner in India?

Let's build a store engineered to convert, not just to look good.

What does an Indian Shopify store need that a global template misses?

An Indian Shopify store needs checkout and delivery set up for how people here actually buy: UPI and cards through an Indian payment gateway, clear COD rules, pincode-level delivery checks, GST-ready invoices and WhatsApp support. Themes built with US or European stores in mind rarely handle these well out of the box.

  • A payment gateway that supports UPI, cards, netbanking and wallets
  • COD controls such as order value limits, a small fee or WhatsApp order confirmation
  • Pincode serviceability and an estimated delivery date on the product page
  • GST settings and tax-inclusive rupee pricing shown clearly
  • Detailed size charts for fashion and ethnic wear, including fit and fabric notes

Getting this wrong shows up fast as abandoned checkouts, fake COD orders and returned parcels that eat your margin. Most of these are settings and small sections rather than custom code, so they're cheap to get right at build time and costly to retrofit.

How do you choose a Shopify development partner in India?

Choose a Shopify partner in India by testing the live stores they've built on your own phone, confirming the store and theme stay in your account, and checking that tracking and SEO are part of the build, not extras. A low quote that skips these usually costs more in fixes within a few months.

A few questions sort serious partners from the rest quickly. How many apps will you install, and why each one? Who fixes things after launch, and how fast? Will you set up redirects if I'm moving from another platform? Can you show a store you built that's actually running ads?

If the answers are vague, the build probably will be too. I'd also be wary of anyone who wants to own the store account or keep the theme code on their side. You should be able to switch developers without rebuilding anything.
