Starting your first online store and drowning in tutorials? Payment gateways, GST settings, shipping apps, theme choices, product photography — every YouTube video adds three new things to worry about. RouteIgnite’s store setup service exists for exactly one person: the new business owner who wants it done right the first time, explained in plain language, with zero jargon. It’s the service we’re known for across Gurgaon and Delhi — and the reason first-time founders are our speciality.
Everything Set Up, Nothing Left Vague
- Store design that matches your brand — clean, fast, mobile-first, built to convert from day one. Not a template with your logo pasted on.
- Payments done properly. Razorpay/UPI/cards/COD configured and test-purchased. COD matters in NCR — we set the rules (limits, verification) that protect you from fake orders.
- Shipping and delivery. Courier integrations (Shiprocket/Delhivery), rate rules, delivery-time messaging that sets honest expectations.
- GST and invoicing. Tax rates, GST-compliant invoices, business details — boring, mandatory, done.
- Products loaded right. Descriptions that sell, images optimised for speed, collections structured for browsing and SEO.
- The unglamorous essentials. Policies (returns, privacy, shipping) written in plain language, order confirmation emails, abandoned cart flow, analytics wired from day one.
How the Launch Works
Setup for a new business typically runs 3–5 weeks (the full timeline breakdown shows what happens each week). Before go-live, your store clears our 27-point launch checklist — the same list that’s caught hundreds of “small” issues that would’ve cost real orders. After launch you get a recorded walkthrough of your own store: adding products, processing orders, reading your dashboard. You’ll run it confidently without calling us for every comma.
What It Costs — Straight Answer
New-business setups typically start around ₹75,000 and scale with catalogue size and custom features. Fixed quote after a free consultation; the number you approve is the number you pay. Budget context before you talk to anyone: what a Shopify website costs in India and which Shopify plan you actually need (almost always Basic, to start).
After Launch: Don’t Sail Alone
Launch is the starting line, not the finish. Most new-business clients keep us for what comes next: maintenance so the store stays fast while you focus on products, then performance marketing once organic sales prove the store converts. When traffic grows, CRO turns more of it into orders. One team, whole journey — that’s the full-funnel model.
Frequently Asked Questions
I don’t have GST registration yet. Can I still start?+
Yes — we’ll build in parallel while your GST application processes, and point you to the right consultant if you need one. Many clients register during the build.
I only have 15 products. Is that too small?+
Not at all — focused catalogues often convert better than sprawling ones. Some of our best-performing client stores launched with under 20 products.
Should I try building it myself first?+
Honest answer: if budget is truly zero, yes — Shopify’s editor is usable. But budget three months for the learning curve, and read our honest take on when an agency is worth it before deciding.
