A Shopify store with few apps and a fast phone checkout, so shoppers order and order again.
A strategist calls you in one working day.
/ 01 Shopify development agency
Shopify runs the servers.We fix what sells.
Shopify runs the servers, but it cannot fix a slow theme or a checkout that loses phone shoppers. PromotEdge, a digital marketing company, plans, manages and delivers Shopify stores for D2C (direct to customer) brands across India.
Shopify's India site claims 99.9% uptime. Use this page once you have chosen Shopify.
Still weighing it against WooCommerce or custom code? Start with ecommerce website development. Other sites are on our website design and development page. We work most with D2C brands, beauty and skincare and fashion and apparel. Firms in industrial manufacturing, real estate and healthcare sometimes add a small store beside their main business.

/ 03 What usually gets in the way
Hurdles we often see,and the way through.
“A cheap theme, and every small edit breaks something.”
We work on a copy, test on real phones and publish only after you approve.
“Moving platforms feels like losing Google traffic and customer data.”
We map every old page that earns visits and set up 301 redirects, which are permanent forwards to the new address.
“Forty sizes and shades, and stock never matches.”
We rebuild the variants once: one clear name for each option and one stock count for each.
“Orders come in, but nobody knows which ad brought them.”
We set up tracking for purchases, so Meta and Google ads report real orders.
“The agency built the store under its own account.”
Your Shopify account, domain and every login stay in your company's name from day one.

/ 05 How we work
A Shopify store usually takessix to ten weeks.
Planning ranges, not promises. We confirm the timeline in the quote.
- 01
Week 1: your numbers first
Products, margins, returns and where buyers come from. We agree what a good first month looks like.
- 02
Weeks 1 to 2: plan the store
Collections, variants, theme and a short app list. If Shopify suits your need badly, such as a dealer price portal, we say so.
- 03
Weeks 2 to 7: design and build on a private copy
Phone-width screens first, then payments, shipping, tracking and any migration. You approve and click through each.
- 04
Weeks 7 to 8: test orders
UPI, card, cash on delivery, a discount code, a refund and a return, on real phones.
- 05
Launch and the first 30 days
We go live small, watch checkout drop-off and failed payments, and scale ads when those look healthy.

How we deliver it, and why
How your business model changes the plan
A D2C brand sells direct, so the store carries the whole journey. A brand also on marketplaces and quick commerce uses its own store for repeat buyers and bundles. A dealer-led firm adding a consumer line starts small. A subscription brand needs repeat-order set-up first.
- Start with your numbers. A store is only as good as the margin and repeat orders behind it. A first-month target.
- Launch with the fewest apps. Each app adds a fee and page weight, so one is added only when your numbers show the need. An app register.
- Fix variants and checkout early. Clean options and a short checkout decide whether ad money turns into orders. Test orders on real phones.
- Keep every login in your name. You can change partners without losing the store. A handover guide.
AI in Shopify development: today and next
Today: Sidekick
Shopify's Sidekick answers questions and completes tasks from any admin page. Shopify says it cannot change your store without approval, talk to your customers for you, or edit images inside a theme or product list.

Our view: store chores such as reports and first drafts of product text will keep getting faster. Product data, checkout tests and your brand's voice still need a person. Want us to look at where AI could save your team time? Ask us.

/ 06 Cost
What affects the cost ofa Shopify store.
You can ask for a fixed-scope build, a review and fix of your current store, or a build plus monthly care.
What affects the cost
- The Shopify plan and the apps you keep
- Products, variants and who writes the copy
- A ready theme, or custom product page and checkout
- Moving platform: data and redirects
- Integrations: gateway, couriers, WhatsApp, reviews
- Bundles, subscriptions, languages, photography
How we quote
- A first call about your products, order volume and current store
- A written scope: theme, apps, integrations, test orders
- A fixed quote, with third-party costs on separate lines
What you get in the quote
- Each template, app and integration, named
- Test orders and any redirects
- Monthly running costs after launch
- Who owns each account and login
When you compare quotes, ask how many apps the store needs and what they cost each month. A cheap build on many paid apps can cost more within a year.

No pressure. No sales pitch.
Tell us where your store loses orders.We'll show you the plan.
Straight answers.
-
We won't claim to be the best, and nobody honestly can. Ask each agency four things: the apps the store needs and their monthly cost, whether every login is in your name, a private test version to click through, and how it reports orders. The guide linked under Proof and reading helps with the platform choice.
-
We make no partner claim on this page. Shopify's India site has a "Find a partner" link to its Partner Directory, so check any agency's profile there yourself. That is a fair test for any agency you shortlist, including us. Also ask which stores it has built and who owns their accounts.
-
We plan, manage and deliver the project, with one point of contact from first call to launch. Our in-house team of 65+ people does the work, with industry consultants and partner agencies where a job needs them. Ask us to introduce the people on your project before you sign.
-
Yes, with a plan. Shopify's migration page says most businesses migrate in under three months, its own figure. We protect your Google traffic by mapping each old page that earns visits to a 301 redirect, then watching Search Console and rankings after launch.
-
You pay Shopify directly, on an account in your company's name. A June 2022 post on its India site says monthly fees can be paid in rupees, by card or UPI. The plan also sets the gateway fee. We list every cost before you approve.
-
Yes. We offer a free first review for projects we think we can help, and we tell you honestly if yours is a fit. We look at apps, phone speed, checkout drop-off and tracking, then say what to fix first and what can wait.
-
Yes. The work runs on video calls and a private test version. Our servicing team is based in cities across India and works hybrid and remotely. We stay in touch every day, meet you in your city at least once every three months, and can sit at your office when the launch needs it.
