What’s possible in Kochi
What changes for
Kochi businesses.
Shoppers in Kochi want to buy from you online — and your store is losing them at the last step: checkout, payment or delivery.
- 01 What’s changed
What Kochi’s market rewards
Kochi’s exporters and hospitality businesses are found by buyers and travellers searching from around the world.
- 02 Why it works
How Kochi pays
Shoppers in India commonly pay by UPI, cards, net banking, wallets and cash on delivery. GST applies to most goods and services, at rates that depend on what you sell. A checkout set up for that is where sales are won.

Our approach
How we would start
in Kochi.
- 01
Build for the buyer
Kochi sells to local families, tourists in Fort Kochi, spice and seafood buyers overseas, and many Malayali families with relatives working in the Gulf. The store, its catalogue and its checkout are shaped around them.
- 02
Payments and delivery that work
Checkout set up for how people in India pay — UPI, cards, net banking, wallets and cash on delivery — with delivery tested before launch.
- 03
Launch before the peak
Onam is the biggest shopping season, Christmas and the winter tourist months matter, and the monsoon slows tourism. The store is live and tested well before then.

Everything in Shopify development - 01
How Kochi shoppers pay
UPI, cards, net banking, wallets and cash on delivery. Shopify Payments is not offered in India, so we set up and test an Indian payment gateway, and cash-on-delivery rules that protect you from returned parcels.
- 02
Prices in INR, taxes set right
GST applies to most goods and services, at rates that depend on what you sell. Prices are shown in Indian rupees and taxes configured with your accountant’s input.
- 03
Delivery from Kochi, across India
Shipping partners connected, pincode serviceability checked, and order updates on WhatsApp — with every login in your name.
Local note: in India, GST applies to most goods and services, at rates that depend on what you sell. Rates and rules change; we confirm details with your accountant or adviser before launch.
