Shopify is the global standard. For a store selling to India, QuicShop is cheaper and faster to set up — because the India-critical pieces aren't apps you bolt on.
If your customers are in India and pay by UPI, QuicShop includes what you need in one subscription. If you sell across many countries and currencies, Shopify’s global scale and app ecosystem are hard to beat.
Shopify’s base plan looks affordable until you add what an Indian store actually needs:
| What you add to Shopify | Typical monthly cost |
|---|---|
| Shopify Basic (India) | ₹1,994 |
| GST invoicing app | ₹1,499 |
| Shiprocket / shipping app | ₹1,200 |
| WhatsApp commerce app | ₹2,500 |
| SMS + DLT compliance | ₹800 |
| Realistic monthly total | ₹7,993+ |
QuicShop covers all of it from ₹2,999/month, and GST-registered sellers can claim input tax credit on the subscription.
Where QuicShop and Shopify differ for a seller based in India.
| Capability | QuicShop | Shopify |
|---|---|---|
| GST invoices (auto, with HSN) | Included | Needs app |
| UPI, cards & COD | Razorpay + PhonePe | Shopify Payments unavailable in India; needs a gateway |
| WhatsApp as a sales channel | Included | Needs app |
| Shiprocket / multi-carrier shipping | Included | Needs app |
| DLT-compliant SMS | Included | Needs app |
| Headless / API-first | GraphQL | |
| AI-native seller workflow | ||
| Essential B2B on the same stack (tier pricing, quotes, credit) | Separate product | |
| Global multi-currency, huge app store | Focused on India | Best in class |
If you sell in many countries, need dozens of niche third-party apps, or want the largest theme marketplace, Shopify’s ecosystem wins. QuicShop is built for sellers whose customers are in India.
Bulk-import your catalogue via CSV — SKUs, HSN codes and GST rates included. Your storefront, payments and shipping are configured in the console; no re-platforming your operations.
Not natively — it needs a paid third-party app. QuicShop generates GST invoices with HSN codes automatically.
Only through a third-party gateway; Shopify Payments isn’t available in India. QuicShop supports UPI, cards and COD via Razorpay and PhonePe out of the box.
For an India-complete setup, yes — ₹2,999–4,999/month all-in vs a typical ₹8,000–15,000+/month Shopify-plus-apps stack.
Yes, via CSV import including SKUs, HSN and GST rates.
