Stores built for how India actually pays.
SoulPlex Studios builds online stores for Indian businesses — custom storefronts, Shopify themes, and WooCommerce builds. The part most templates get wrong is checkout: UPI, netbanking, domestic cards, COD and GST invoicing are table stakes here, and a store that only takes international cards quietly loses most of its cart. We have shipped storefronts for leather goods, florists and cafes, so the catalogue and fulfilment side is well-trodden ground.

Shopify vs WooCommerce vs custom
All three are legitimate. The right answer depends on catalogue size, how unusual your buying path is, and who maintains it day to day.
| Criterion | Shopify | WooCommerce | Custom |
|---|---|---|---|
| Relative build cost | Lowest | Low | Highest |
| Ongoing platform fee | Monthly + txn % | Hosting only | Hosting only |
| Time to launch | Fastest | Fast | Slowest |
| UPI, COD, Razorpay | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Unusual buying flows | Constrained | Workable | Unconstrained |
| Deep system integration | Via apps | Via plugins | Direct |
| Your team can run it | Easily | Mostly | Depends on build |
| Performance ceiling | Good | Varies with plugins | Highest |
Our take:Shopify if your catalogue fits its model and you want your team running the store — it is genuinely good and we build on it happily. WooCommerce if you are already on WordPress. Custom only when the buying path is unusual, integration runs deep, or platform fees have grown past what a build costs.
FAQ
E-Commerce questions
Straight answers, with real numbers. If yours is not here, ask — we reply within 48 hours.
Which payment gateway is best for an Indian store?
Razorpay for most Indian businesses — it handles UPI, netbanking, domestic cards, wallets and COD natively, which together cover the overwhelming majority of Indian checkouts. Stripe when you are selling primarily internationally.
Can you sync stock between my shop and website?
Yes. One stock number across the website, WhatsApp orders and the physical shop, with low-stock alerts and shipping integration. Overselling is the single most damaging e-commerce failure, because the customer only finds out after paying.
How much does an e-commerce site cost?
Cost is driven by catalogue size, whether you are on a managed platform or want a custom storefront, how many payment and shipping integrations are needed, and whether inventory has to sync with systems you already run. We do not publish rate cards, because the honest range is wide enough that any published figure would mislead most readers. Send a brief and you get a fixed scope and one firm price within 48 hours, with no discovery-call gate.
How quickly do I get a quote?
Within 48 hours of sending a brief. You get a fixed scope stating what is in and what is out, one firm price for that scope, a delivery date with milestones, and the stack we would use with the reasoning. Prices listed on the site are starting points; your quote is a single number, and it is the number you pay.
Do you work with businesses outside Vadodara?
Yes. SoulPlex Studios operates from two offices — Vadodara, Gujarat and Jaipur, Rajasthan — and works with clients across India remotely. Studio hours are Monday to Saturday, 09:00–21:00 IST.
What happens after the project goes live?
Every build includes handover documentation, and where relevant a walkthrough for your team. Ongoing support and optimisation can be arranged as a retainer if you want us to keep maintaining and extending the system.
