What’s the Average Cost to Hire an eCommerce Development Company in India?

Hi everyone,
I’m exploring options for building an eCommerce website and keep seeing recommendations to hire an eCommerce development company in India due to their affordability and expertise. I’m curious to know what the average cost looks like in 2025.

How much should I expect to pay for a basic vs. feature-rich eCommerce site?

Do most Indian companies charge per hour or offer fixed project pricing?

Are there any hidden or ongoing costs I should be aware of (like maintenance, support, etc.)?

If you’ve worked with any Indian development agencies or have recent experience, I’d really appreciate your insights.

Great questions! From my recent experience working with a few Indian eCommerce development teams, pricing in 2025 generally varies based on complexity. A basic site might start around $1,500–$3,000, while a feature-rich store with integrations, payment gateways, and custom design could range from $5,000 to $10,000 or more. Most agencies offer both hourly and fixed project pricing models — hourly rates usually fall between $20–$50.

Also, don’t forget about ongoing costs like hosting, maintenance, and updates — they’re often billed monthly or yearly.

When I was managing updates for

James Dean Coat collection, I learned the value of having a reliable development partner who provides solid post-launch support. It saves a lot of headaches down the road!
