Billing in rupees
A subscription priced and charged in INR, so your software cost is not moving with the exchange rate.
A Shopify alternative built for India
Rupee billing, Indian payment gateways, cash on delivery at checkout and support in your timezone — so your store fits how business is actually done here.

What matters in an Indian ecommerce platform
Before comparing platforms, decide which of these you cannot do without. Most sellers here need all six.
Indian payment methods
UPI, cards and netbanking through Indian gateways — and cash on delivery, which a large share of buyers still choose.
Support in your timezone
Help during your working day, from people who understand GST, COD and Indian delivery realities.
Setup without a developer
A store you can launch yourself, rather than a theme project that needs an agency and a budget.
Costs you can predict
Know what the platform charges before you commit, including any per-order fee, without stacking paid apps to reach a working store.
Selling where your customers are
One store link that works on WhatsApp and Instagram, because that is where Indian small businesses find buyers.
Global platform vs. built for India
A general comparison of what an Indian seller typically has to arrange elsewhere versus what ShopSynco includes. Check current details on any platform before you decide.
| Typical global platform | ShopSynco | |
|---|---|---|
| Subscription currency | Typically billed in USD | Billed in INR |
| Cash on delivery | Usually needs an app or custom work | Supported as a checkout option |
| Payment gateways | Global-first, with Indian gateways added on | Razorpay and Stripe, set up as standard |
| Support hours | Often a different timezone | Indian business hours, in English and Malayalam |
| Getting started | Theme and app decisions before you sell | Guided setup, live the same day |
| WhatsApp selling | An add-on to configure | One store link built to be shared in chat |
How to choose and switch
List what you actually need
Products, payment methods, delivery areas and whether you need COD. Most sellers need far less than a global platform assumes.
Check the true monthly cost
Subscription plus per-order fees plus paid apps plus a developer, if one is needed. Compare that total, not the headline price.
Try the setup yourself
Add three products and place a test order. If you cannot do that without help, neither can your team next month.
Move when it works
Bring your catalogue across, point your domain at the new store, and tell your customers the link has changed.
Try it with three products and a test order
That is usually enough to tell whether a platform fits your business. Setting it up takes minutes.

Is there a good Shopify alternative in India?
ShopSynco is built specifically for Indian small businesses: subscriptions billed in INR, Razorpay and Stripe for payments, cash on delivery at checkout, GST-aware invoicing and support in Indian business hours. For a seller who wants a working store rather than a platform to configure, that combination is usually a better fit than a global product.
What should I look for in an ecommerce platform in India?
Rupee billing, Indian payment gateways, cash on delivery, GST handling, support in your timezone, and a setup you can complete without hiring a developer. Add up the real monthly cost — subscription, per-order fees and any paid add-ons — before comparing platforms.
Can I move my existing store to ShopSynco?
Yes. You can rebuild your catalogue in ShopSynco, connect your payment methods, and point your existing domain at the new store so customers keep using the address they know. Our team can walk you through the move.
Do I need coding knowledge to switch?
No. ShopSynco is a no-code platform: you add products and settings through the dashboard, and the storefront, checkout and hosting are handled for you.
Is ShopSynco suitable for a small business just starting out?
Yes. It is designed for first-time sellers as much as for established shops — the guided setup gets a store live quickly, and you can move to a larger plan or add individual capabilities as the business grows.
What does ShopSynco cost?
ShopSynco is a monthly subscription with plans for a first store through to a growing multi-store business, billed in INR with GST added as applicable. See the pricing page for what each plan includes, or get in touch and we will recommend the plan that fits.
