Four routes ranked by first-year cost, with what each one leaves you to manage.
The store, checkout, payments and invoices are already built. Your only costs are the domain and, if you want it connected with HTTPS and no badge, the Starter plan. You do the product entry yourself. Best for a first store and for anyone without a developer.
Hosting from a few hundred rupees a month, a theme, and plugins for COD, shipping and GST invoices. Software is free but setup needs WordPress skills, and updates, backups and security are yours. Cheap on paper, expensive in time if something breaks before a sale.
A freelancer typically builds a WooCommerce or Shopify store for ₹10,000 to ₹25,000. An agency build with custom design starts around ₹1 lakh and goes up. In both cases the monthly platform, hosting and app costs continue after the build, and changes cost money each time.
A free-forever store builder such as D2 Commerce OS plus a domain. The store is ₹0, the domain is usually under ₹1,000 a year, and connecting it is ₹249 a month on the Starter plan.
The software is free but hosting, theme, plugins and upkeep add up, and you need WordPress skills. For a first store a free builder is usually cheaper in both money and time.
Typically ₹10,000 to ₹25,000 for a basic WooCommerce or Shopify build, with platform, hosting and app costs continuing every month after that.
