E-com is not a website for Manufacturing.
B2B quote requests, RFQ paperwork, dealer enquiries, and after-sales support all sit in shared inboxes that don't track who replied or when.
How ecommerce dev plays out in manufacturing.
UPI is the dominant payment method. COD is still 35–50% of orders for most D2C brands. Shiprocket and Delhivery are the logistics stack. GST 18% must appear on every invoice. GSTIN validation at checkout matters. These are not edge cases — they are the table stakes for any Indian e-com build.
Platform selection depends on where you are. 0–200 SKUs and a team that does not want to touch code: Shopify Plus with the right app stack. 200–10,000 SKUs with custom checkout logic or subscription billing: WooCommerce with a proper architecture, not the default theme. High-traffic brand that has outgrown Shopify's theme engine: headless with Medusa.js or Saleor as the commerce layer.

Shopify Plus, WooCommerce, and headless commerce — wired for UPI, Razorpay, Cashfree, Shiprocket, Delhivery, and GST 18%. India-ready from day one, not from a plugin installed on day 30.
