Stores that sell,
not themes that rent.
Custom ecommerce website development for D2C brands and creators who've outgrown the template look. I code storefronts from scratch — payments, drops, video galleries and all — so the store feels like the brand and the code belongs to you. No Shopify rent. No theme ceiling.
What I build
The offeringA store coded from scratch around your brand — not a Shopify theme with your logo swapped in. Every product reveal, easing curve and checkout step is yours.
Turn an audience into a store. A 600K-subscriber YouTuber sells handmade products through a storefront I built — with a native video gallery, no platform fees.
Hand-numbered units, limited runs, lore-driven product pages. Drop mechanics built into the code, not bolted on with apps.
Razorpay for UPI, cards and COD. Stripe for international. Whatever your buyers actually use — wired in natively.

How a store gets built
The processWe start from how the store should feel — because a premium product in a template storefront reads as a discount product.
You review a real URL, not a Figma file. What you approve is what ships.
ChinkiZ went from brief to a live, selling storefront in two weeks. Redline shipped brand + store + payments in one sprint.
The code, the design, the customer data. No monthly platform rent, no theme license, no lock-in. Signed IP transfer with the final invoice.

Frequently asked
EcommerceYes. Payments (Razorpay or Stripe), order management, inventory and email receipts are all solvable without renting a platform. You trade a monthly fee and a theme ceiling for code you own outright. For premium and creator brands, the difference shows in conversion and brand feel.
You do — 100%. Full repository handover and a signed IP transfer with the final invoice. Your customer list never lives on someone else's platform.
Razorpay for Indian stores (UPI, cards, netbanking, COD) and Stripe or PayPal for international buyers. Multi-currency setups are fine too.
Typically 2–4 weeks from brief to live. ChinkiZ — a full storefront with video gallery and payments — took two weeks. Complex catalogs or subscription logic can add a sprint.
Every store is quoted individually after a short call, and you get that quote fixed and in writing before any work starts — no hourly creep, no change-order games. What moves the number is catalogue size, how custom the buying flow is, and whether you need drop mechanics or subscriptions. Worth weighing against the three-year total of a platform plan plus its apps, which is the comparison most brands never actually run.
