What’s possible in Kolkata
What changes for
Kolkata businesses.
Shoppers in Kolkata 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 Kolkata’s market rewards
Kolkata’s traders, tea brands and retailers can reach customers across India and abroad with their own online presence.
- 02 Why it works
How Kolkata 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.
- 03 What it looks like
Picture Kolkata finding you
Orders from Kolkata arriving on their own — payments, shipping and updates working — with every login in your name.

Our approach
How we would start
in Kolkata.
- 01
Build for the buyer
Kolkata’s customers are local families who love food and festivals, wholesale traders in Burrabazar serving eastern India, and IT staff in Salt Lake. 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
Durga Puja in autumn is the single biggest season, followed by Kali Puja and Diwali, Christmas on Park Street, and the winter wedding season. The store is live and tested well before then.

Shopify development for Kolkata’s
trade and retail.
Everything in Shopify development - 01
How Kolkata 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 Kolkata, 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.
