Where we work · India

Ecommerce development built for how India buys.

UPI at checkout. Cash on delivery that fails if you let it. GST on every line. Marketplaces taking a share of demand you paid to create. An Indian store gets these right or it leaks margin quietly for years.

What actually differs about Indian ecommerce

A storefront copied from a European playbook underperforms in India for reasons that have nothing to do with design. UPI carries a large share of digital payments and needs to be first at checkout, not third. Cash on delivery is still significant and arrives with a failure rate that eats margin invisibly. GST touches pricing, invoicing and returns. And marketplaces sit alongside your store taking a cut of demand you often generated yourself.

We build for that reality first. Payment mix and COD risk handling before visual polish, courier allocation by pincode performance rather than by habit, and GST-compliant invoicing wired into whatever your accounts team already uses.

Our engineering hub is in Kochi, Kerala, which is where most of the build work happens for both Indian and Gulf clients.

What the market demands

  • UPI-first checkoutUPI, cards, net banking, wallets and EMI ordered by what your customers actually reach for, not by what the gateway defaults to.
  • COD that does not bleed marginRisk scoring, order verification, partial prepayment on high-risk orders and structured NDR follow-up rather than accepting failed deliveries as a cost of doing business.
  • GST built inTax on pricing, invoicing, credit notes and returns handled to your accountant's specification and posted back into your books.
  • Courier allocation by pincodeDelhivery, Blue Dart, Ecom Express, DTDC, XpressBees, Shadowfax or an aggregator, chosen per order on actual area performance.
  • Tally, Zoho and ERP integrationYour existing accounting or ERP stays the source of truth for price, stock and credit. Commerce reads from it.
  • Marketplace balanceAmazon, Flipkart, Meesho, Myntra and Ajio modelled against your own store, so channel mix is a decision rather than a drift.

How an Indian build runs

Consultation first,
then build

The audit usually changes the brief, which is why it comes before the quote rather than after it.

Free consultation and audit

Store, funnel, unit economics, COD failure, return rate and channel mix reviewed against your own data. Two weeks to written findings.

Platform and architecture

Platform chosen on a scored comparison, then catalogue, pricing and tax modelling before development starts.

Build and integrate

Storefront, payment gateways, courier allocation, GST invoicing and ERP integration, in two-week sprints with working demos.

Launch with clean tracking

Staged launch, redirect verification, analytics confirmed correct from day one, and load testing ahead of festive peaks.

Grow on a share of sales

SEO, paid media, retention and CRO run against contribution margin, charged as a percentage of the incremental revenue produced.

The questions to ask any ecommerce company Book a free ecommerce consultation
The commercial model

We are not looking for a recurring retainer.
We want a percentage of the sales we create.

Globosoft works as a growth partner, not a monthly line item. We agree a baseline, build and market your ecommerce, and take an agreed share of the incremental sales that follow. If your revenue does not move, our fee does not either.

The usual agency deal

A monthly retainer that bills whether you grow or not.

  • Fixed invoice every month, indefinitely
  • Effort reported in hours, not in revenue
  • Safe recommendations, because risk sits with you
  • Renewal conversations instead of growth conversations

The Globosoft growth-share deal

A percentage of the sales we actually generate.

  • You pay from revenue, out of money that arrived
  • Our income moves only when your sales move
  • We push the bold ideas, because we carry the risk
  • Transparent baseline, so "growth" means growth
0 retainers

No open-ended monthly fee for the growth engagement. The commercial deal is tied to sales, not to calendar months.

% of sales

An agreed percentage of the incremental revenue we generate, measured against a baseline we both sign off before work starts.

1 shared goal

Everyone in the room is paid by the same number: the revenue and contribution margin your store produces.

Questions

Ecommerce questions from India & UAE

The questions that come up most often in the first conversation.

Which is the best ecommerce development company in India?

The best one for your business is whichever will audit before it proposes, report contribution margin rather than platform ROAS, integrate with your ERP and couriers, stay platform-neutral, and tie its fee to your sales. Globosoft is a Premium Shopify Partner, listed on the Shopify Partner Directory, with more than 100 Shopify ecommerce projects delivered, working from Kochi since 2010 for merchants in India, the Gulf, Egypt, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Australia.

How much does ecommerce development cost in India?

Cost is driven by catalogue complexity, commerce model and integrations rather than page count. A focused D2C store on Shopify or WooCommerce is a modest fixed-scope project. B2B pricing rules, multivendor payouts, multi-country storefronts or ERP integration raise it substantially. Globosoft quotes build work as fixed scope with milestones and charges growth work as a percentage of incremental sales.

Do you handle GST, UPI and cash on delivery?

Yes, all three are standard. GST is built into pricing, invoicing and credit notes and posted back to your accounting system. UPI is configured as a first-class checkout option alongside cards, net banking, wallets and EMI. Cash on delivery is handled with risk scoring, verification and NDR workflows rather than simply switched on.

Can you integrate Tally or Zoho with our online store?

Yes. Both are common in our India work, typically stock and price flowing out of the accounting system and orders and invoices flowing back, with GST-compliant documents and daily reconciliation. Zoho Books and Inventory integrate through their APIs; Tally usually needs a connector, which we build and monitor.

Do you work with businesses outside Kerala?

Yes. Kochi is where the engineering team sits, but clients are worldwide and most of the work runs remotely with scheduled review calls. The same team delivers for the UAE and the Gulf, Egypt, the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Ireland, France and Australia.
