**A Shopify store in India usually costs ₹20,000 to ₹3,00,000 to build, plus monthly
Shopify fees and apps.** The final number depends on theme, customisation, catalogue
size and integrations.

## One-time costs

 * **Store setup and theme configuration:** ₹20,000 to ₹80,000.
 * **Custom theme sections and design:** ₹80,000 to ₹2,50,000.
 * **Product upload and data migration:** priced by catalogue size.
 * **Custom app or integration:** ERP, shipping, price engines and checkout rules
   are scoped separately.

## Recurring costs

 * Shopify plan (monthly or yearly).
 * Apps for reviews, email, subscriptions and more.
 * Payment gateway fees and transaction fees.
 * Maintenance and optimisation.

## Ways to keep cost under control

 1. Start with a clean, fast theme and add custom work in phases.
 2. Audit apps; every app adds cost and can slow the store. See [Shopify speed optimisation](https://iprixmedia.com/shopify-speed-optimization/).
 3. Plan SEO and tracking from the start.
