India

CV Infotech charges $30 per hour for Shopify development from India. A custom Shopify theme built from Figma designs typically takes 150–350 hours depending on complexity and feature count, putting the range at $4,500–$10,500. A full Shopify Plus build with checkout extensions, custom apps, and third-party integrations takes 300–700 hours, or $9,000–$21,000. A WooCommerce or Magento migration to Shopify with product data transfer, redirect mapping, and SEO preservation typically takes 80–200 hours, or $2,400–$6,000. All projects are scoped to a fixed price before work starts — you know the exact total before we begin.

A Shopify Partner is a developer or agency that has been verified by Shopify through their Partner Programme. Partner status requires demonstrated platform expertise, a track record of approved store builds, and ongoing compliance with Shopify's development standards. Partners have access to Shopify development stores for client projects, partner-only APIs, early access to beta features, and direct technical support from Shopify. CV Infotech is a verified Shopify Partner — Partner ID 2454630, listed on partners.shopify.com. This is meaningful because it represents a continuing relationship with the platform, not just a developer who has built a few stores. When Shopify changes its APIs, deprecates features, or introduces new checkout architecture, Partners know about it ahead of the general developer community.

Yes — we do this regularly and it is a defined service with a clear process. We export your full product catalogue including variants, metafields, product images, and custom attributes. We migrate customer accounts and order history. We build 301 redirects for every product, collection, and static page URL so your Google rankings are not affected by the URL structure change. We run a post-migration SEO audit to confirm redirect coverage and check for any ranking anomalies in the first 4 weeks after launch. The migration timeline depends on catalogue size — a 500-product WooCommerce store typically takes 4–6 weeks including theme build and redirect mapping. We have also done this migration in reverse — Shopify to WooCommerce — when that was the right direction for the client.

Shopify Plus is Shopify's enterprise tier, priced at approximately $2,000 per month or 0.25% of monthly revenue, whichever is higher, with a minimum of $2,000. It provides several features not available on standard Shopify plans: checkout extensibility using Checkout UI Extensions and Shopify Functions — which allows you to customise the checkout experience without touching checkout.liquid, which Shopify has deprecated; Script Editor access for advanced discount and shipping logic; the Shopify Audiences ad targeting tool; dedicated merchant success management; and expansion store functionality for managing multiple international storefronts. You need Shopify Plus if you have custom checkout requirements, if your revenue makes the enterprise pricing worthwhile relative to the transaction fee elimination, or if you need expansion stores for international markets. Most stores below $1–2 million annual revenue do not need Shopify Plus.

A custom Shopify theme built from Figma designs, using Shopify's Online Store 2.0 architecture with fully customisable sections throughout, takes 8–14 weeks with a two-person team for a mid-complexity store — 15–25 templates, standard eCommerce features, and 2–4 third-party app integrations. A simpler build — fewer templates, less custom functionality — takes 5–8 weeks. A complex build — Shopify Plus checkout extensions, headless implementation, multiple custom apps — takes 16–24 weeks. These timelines assume final Figma designs are provided before development starts. If design is part of the scope, add 3–5 weeks. We provide a detailed timeline with every proposal, tied to specific milestones.

Yes — and we build performance targets into the proposal, not as an afterthought. Our Shopify builds target Lighthouse scores of 90+ on mobile and desktop across product, collection, and homepage templates. We achieve this by: using Shopify's native CDN for all images and assets, deferring non-critical JavaScript, loading third-party app scripts asynchronously or through GTM rather than individually, inlining critical CSS, and avoiding the common Shopify performance pitfalls — duplicate jQuery instances, synchronous font loading, and unoptimised image sizes. Before any store launches, we run Lighthouse across every major template. Any template below 85 on mobile is fixed before the store goes live.

Usually, yes. The most common situations we fix without a full rebuild: a store with poor Lighthouse scores caused by too many app scripts loading synchronously — we audit the scripts, defer what can be deferred, remove what is redundant, and consolidate tracking through GTM. A store with conversion rate issues — we review the funnel analytics, identify drop-off points, and make targeted changes to the checkout flow, product page layout, or cart experience. A store on a legacy theme that needs new functionality — we add custom Liquid sections without touching the existing theme structure. A full rebuild is the right answer when the underlying theme architecture is fundamentally broken or when the brand direction has changed significantly. We will tell you which situation you are in after the audit.

Yes — app integration is part of most Shopify builds we deliver. Common integrations we handle: Klaviyo for email marketing and SMS flows, Yotpo or Okendo for product reviews, ReCharge for subscription billing, Gorgias for customer support, Loop Returns for returns management, ShipStation or Shippo for fulfilment, and various ERP and inventory management systems through Shopify's REST and GraphQL APIs. We integrate apps correctly — one tracking pixel per analytics service, scripts loaded asynchronously, and nothing running on templates where it is not needed. For requirements that no existing app meets, we build private Shopify apps using Shopify's Admin API.

Post-launch changes fall into two categories. Genuine bugs — functionality not working as specified in the original scope — are covered by our 30-day post-launch support at no additional charge. We fix them as soon as they are reported. New features, design changes, and additional sections are scoped and priced as separate work. We offer project-based pricing for defined changes — a new campaign landing page, a custom section, an additional integration — or a monthly retainer for stores that need regular ongoing development. Retainer clients get priority scheduling and a consistent team who already knows the codebase.

The honest answer is that you verify it the same way you would verify any agency: look at their track record, read their reviews, and ask for relevant work samples. Our Clutch profile has 35 verified reviews at 5.0 — read them. Our Shopify Partner status — ID 2454630 — is publicly verifiable at partners.shopify.com. Our client Manny, who has run multiple eCommerce businesses with us over several years, describes his experience in a video review on our website. Francisco Escobar has been a client since 2012 — fourteen years. We do not ask you to take our word for it. We point you to verifiable evidence and let you make the decision.
