Shopify for India: Payments, COD, Shipping, GST
Indian stores need a few extra steps:
Payments
Shopify Payments isn't available for Indian merchants, so we connect a third-party gateway like Razorpay, PayU or Cashfree. These support UPI, cards, net banking and wallets. Note that Shopify may add its own transaction fee when you use a third-party gateway; the rate depends on your plan.
Cash on Delivery
COD is still common in India. We set COD limits, extra charges if you want them, and OTP confirmation apps to reduce fake orders and returns.
Shipping
We connect aggregator apps like Shiprocket so you can compare courier rates, print labels and send tracking updates automatically.
GST invoices
Shopify's default invoice isn't GST-ready. We add an invoice app that prints GSTIN, HSN codes and the correct CGST/SGST or IGST split.
Selling Abroad With Shopify From Jaipur
Jaipur's textiles, jewellery and crafts sell well in the US, UK, Europe and Australia. Shopify Markets lets you:
- Show prices in local currency
- Set country-specific pricing and shipping rates
- Translate content for key markets
- Use international payment options through your gateway
We also help with export-friendly product data: sizes in inches and cm, care instructions and customs-friendly descriptions.

DIY Shopify vs Hiring an Expert
DIY works if you have under 30 products, a free or ready theme and time to learn. Hire an expert when design matters for your brand, you have many variants, you sell abroad or you need GST and COD set up correctly.
Common DIY problems: too many apps slowing the store, wrong tax settings, unoptimized images, and checkout set up without COD controls.
Example: A Block-Print Brand Goes Global
Here's a typical Shopify project. (Illustrative example; see internal notes.)
A Sanganer block-print brand sold through Instagram DMs and a basic website. International buyers asked for prices in dollars and shipping quotes on chat.
- Weeks 1 to 2: Planned collections (bedsheets, quilts, table linen), photographed products in a consistent style.
- Weeks 3 to 4: Customized a premium theme, imported 220 products with size and fabric metafields.
- Week 5: Set up Razorpay, COD for India, Shiprocket, GST invoices, and Shopify Markets for USD, GBP and EUR.
- Week 6: Test orders, launch, and Meta pixel plus Google Merchant Center connection.
The brand now takes orders from India and abroad without manual price quotes on chat.
Shopify Mistakes That Cost Sales
- Installing 20+ apps. Each adds scripts that slow your store.
- Large uncompressed images. Slow product pages lose buyers.
- No COD controls. Leads to high return-to-origin rates.
- Weak product pages: missing size charts, care info or real photos.
- Ignoring abandoned carts. Simple WhatsApp or email reminders recover sales.
- Copying supplier descriptions. Duplicate text hurts SEO.
