Kochi's Most Trusted Ecommerce Agency: Store Live in 7 Days

FactoryJet delivers standard Shopify and WooCommerce stores in 7 business days for Starter and Growth builds. Day 1 is a discovery call to finalise your catalogue, payment preferences, and logistics setup. Days 2–3 are Figma design and mockup approval. Days 3–5 are development and integration. Day 6 is QA and Lighthouse testing. Day 7 is launch. Custom platform and marketplace builds take longer, usually 8 to 16 weeks depending on scope.

FactoryJet ecommerce projects are fixed-price and scoped to your build. The main cost drivers are your platform (Shopify or WooCommerce vs a custom build), number of products, the payment and shipping integrations you need, and any custom features like subscriptions or B2B pricing. Every project is quoted up front after a free discovery call, so you know the full cost before any work starts. The price is fixed and confirmed in writing, with no hourly billing and no scope creep.

Yes. All plans can be split 50% upfront and 50% on launch day. Growth and Custom plans can be structured as 40-30-30 across the build. We accept NEFT, RTGS, UPI, and all major credit cards. No interest or fees are charged on installment plans; it is simply a split of the quoted fixed price.

If we miss the 7-day deadline for reasons within our control, we refund 20% of the project value automatically, no questions asked. We have delivered on time for 97% of all builds. The remaining 3% delays are almost always due to client-side delays in providing product images, content, or payment gateway credentials, which we flag upfront in the onboarding checklist.

For D2C brands and small businesses, FactoryJet makes a strong case: fixed written prices, senior engineers, and stores that launch in weeks. Any ecommerce website development company in Kochi, or any ecommerce solution company in Kochi, should pass three checks: who writes the code, is the price fixed, and do you own the store at the end. That is how to find the best ecommerce website development company in Kochi and the best ecommerce solution company in Kochi for your catalog.

One developer can build a basic store, but a real shop needs design, payments, shipping, and SEO together. A small senior team covers all of it at a fixed price. If you do hire ecommerce developer in Kochi directly, check store speed scores from their past work first.

Shopify is the best default for most Kochi D2C and B2C brands: fast to launch, easy to manage, and natively supports Razorpay, PayU, and UPI. WooCommerce is the right choice when you are already on WordPress or need deep content-commerce integration (recipes, guides, editorial content). Custom Next.js platforms make sense for high-volume D2C brands, B2B wholesale portals with complex pricing rules, or multi-vendor marketplaces where Shopify and WooCommerce hit their ceiling. FactoryJet makes this recommendation during discovery at no charge.

Yes, all India payment methods are configured in every plan. Razorpay is our primary gateway and covers UPI, net banking, cards, wallets (Paytm, PhonePe, Mobikwik), EMI on major cards, and BNPL (LazyPay, Simpl). We also integrate PayU, CCAvenue, or PhonePe Business if you have an existing relationship. Cash on Delivery is configured with prepaid-to-COD ratios you control. Razorpay's fraud detection rules are configured at launch to keep COD abuse low.

Yes, this is included in the Growth plan and above. We use Cedcommerce or Unicommerce to sync your product catalogue, pricing, and inventory between your Shopify or WooCommerce store and your Amazon India and Flipkart seller accounts. Orders from all channels flow into one dashboard. When stock sells on Amazon, it is deducted from your store automatically, preventing overselling.

Yes. We integrate WhatsApp Business API via Interakt, Wati, or AiSensy to send order confirmations, shipping updates, and abandoned cart messages on WhatsApp, where open rates are 85%+ versus email's 20%. We also build conversational product discovery chatbots where customers browse and order directly in WhatsApp, with Razorpay payment links sent in-chat. This is included in Growth and Custom plans.

Yes, GST compliance is built into every Indian ecommerce store we deliver. This includes auto-generated GST invoices at order placement, GSTIN capture at checkout for B2B buyers, HSN code mapping per product category, state-wise IGST/CGST/SGST rate configuration, and monthly GSTR-1 export compatibility. We integrate with Tally, Zoho Books, or custom accounting exports on request.

Shiprocket is our default recommendation for most Kochi ecommerce stores. It gives you access to Delhivery, Bluedart, XpressBees, Ekart, and Shadowfax under one integration, with automated NDR workflows, returns management, and weight dispute resolution. Delhivery directly via API is better for high-volume brands (10,000+ shipments per month) needing custom SLAs. For hyperlocal same-day delivery in Kochi, Shadowfax and Porter are the right fit.

Yes, multi-language support is available for all platforms. For Shopify we use the Translate & Adapt app or Langify for regional language storefronts. For WooCommerce we implement WPML or TranslatePress. For custom platforms we build the i18n layer natively. Language-switched URLs follow SEO-safe hreflang patterns. We have built stores in Hindi, Marathi, Tamil, Gujarati, and Bengali.

India has a 78% cart abandonment rate, higher than global averages because COD hesitancy and payment UX friction are common. We build a 3-touch recovery sequence: 1) WhatsApp message within 30 minutes with a direct Razorpay payment link, 2) SMS at 2 hours with a small discount, 3) email at 24 hours with a trust signal (reviews, return policy). Stores with this sequence recover 18–22% of abandoned carts on average.

Every store we build includes technical SEO from day one: Product and BreadcrumbList schema for Google Shopping eligibility, optimised title and meta templates, canonical URLs to prevent duplicate content (a common Shopify and WooCommerce issue), GST price display, Core Web Vitals green on mobile, and sitemap submission to Google Search Console. LocalBusiness schema with Kochi geo-coordinates is included for local search visibility.

Yes, Lighthouse 90+ on Performance, Accessibility, Best Practices, and SEO is a contractual commitment on all builds. We achieve this by serving WebP images from CDN, deferring non-critical JavaScript, inlining critical CSS, using next-gen fonts with preload, and hosting on Cloudflare Pages with assets served from the nearest edge node to your customer. We QA the score before handover and fix any regression post-launch within 48 hours at no charge.

Core Web Vitals are Google's three page experience signals: LCP (Largest Contentful Paint, how fast the main content loads, target under 2.5s), INP (Interaction to Next Paint, how fast the page responds to clicks, target under 200ms), and CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift, whether elements jump around, target below 0.1). Google confirmed these are a ranking signal. More importantly, a 1-second delay in mobile load time reduces conversion rates by 20%. For a high-revenue store, that adds up to significant lost revenue every second of slowness.

Yes, we offer a standalone Speed & SEO Audit + Fix package. We diagnose all Lighthouse failures, compress and convert your image library to WebP, remove render-blocking resources, fix CLS issues from unloaded fonts or images, and migrate your hosting to Cloudflare if needed. Most stores see a 30–60 point Lighthouse improvement within one sprint. We issue a written commitment: if we do not reach Lighthouse 90+ overall, we continue working at no additional charge.

100% yes. On launch day we transfer full ownership of the store account, the theme code, all integrations, and every custom component we built. You get GitHub repository access for all code assets and full admin credentials for every tool. We do not hold your store with ongoing fees. You can take the store to any developer after handover; we encourage it. What we hope is that you come back to us for the next phase.

Day 7 is handover day. We schedule a 60–90 minute Zoom walkthrough covering: admin panel navigation, adding and editing products, processing orders, managing discounts, viewing analytics, and handling basic shipping issues. We deliver a handover document with all credentials, API keys, support contacts for each integration, and a first-30-days checklist. Post-handover, we are available on WhatsApp for 30 days for quick questions at no charge.

Yes. Our Care Plan covers plugin and platform updates, a monthly Lighthouse audit and performance fixes, uptime monitoring, a few hours of content or feature changes each month, and priority support with a 4-hour response SLA. Our Growth Retainer adds monthly A/B tests, conversion optimization, and new campaign landing pages. Both are month-to-month with no lock-in, and we share the exact monthly price on your free call.

Absolutely, self-management is the goal. For Shopify stores, adding products, updating prices, creating discount codes, and reviewing orders requires zero coding knowledge. WooCommerce is slightly more technical but we set up a simplified admin workflow for non-technical founders. We build a short video library covering the 10 most common tasks your team will perform, so you are not dependent on a developer for day-to-day operations.
