New store owners ask us the same smart questions every week. Here are the honest answers — no jargon, no sales pitch. If yours isn’t here, ask us directly and we’ll reply within one business day.
Costs & Pricing
How much does a Shopify website cost in India?+
Between ₹75,000 and ₹5,00,000+, depending on design complexity, integrations and product count. Full breakdown in our 2026 pricing guide. RouteIgnite quotes a fixed price after a free audit — the number you approve is the number you pay.
What does Shopify itself charge on top?+
Shopify’s own plans start around ₹1,994/month (Basic) plus payment gateway fees of roughly 2% per transaction. Our guide to choosing the right Shopify plan explains which tier you actually need.
Is hiring an agency worth it compared to DIY?+
If you value your time and plan to sell seriously, usually yes — a professional build avoids the three months of trial-and-error most DIY founders lose. We wrote an honest take here: Is hiring a Shopify agency worth it?
Timelines & Process
How long until my store is live?+
Most stores launch in 4–8 weeks. Simple catalogues go faster; custom features take longer. See the full timeline breakdown.
What do you need from me to start?+
Your product details, brand assets (logo, photos if you have them), and about an hour a week for reviews. We handle everything technical — see what to expect when working with us.
Do you migrate stores from WooCommerce or Wix?+
Yes — products, customers, orders and SEO redirects, without losing sales mid-move. Details on our Shopify migration service page.
Growth & Results
My store gets visitors but no orders. Why?+
Usually a conversion problem: slow pages, weak product pages, missing trust signals or a leaky checkout. We list all the culprits in 11 fixable reasons your store isn’t selling — and our CRO service exists to fix them.
How much can CRO actually improve sales?+
Stores we optimise average a 38% conversion lift; going from a 1% to 2% conversion rate literally doubles revenue on the same traffic. The maths is in how much CRO can increase Shopify sales.
When should I start running ads?+
After your store converts — ads multiply what already works. Budget guidance for new stores is in our marketing budget guide.
Working With RouteIgnite
Do you only work with Shopify?+
Yes, deliberately. Specialising in one platform for years is why our builds convert. If Shopify isn’t right for you, we’ll say so in the audit — see our honest Shopify vs WooCommerce comparison.
Where are you based?+
What happens after launch — am I on my own?+
Only if you want to be. Most clients stay on a maintenance plan (updates, monitoring, fixes) and add performance marketing when they’re ready to scale.
