Service Overview

Fast, Scalable Direct-to-Consumer Stores Built on the Shopify Ecosystem

Shopify powers millions of leading e-commerce merchants globally, offering rock-solid cloud hosting, unmatched payment security, and an expansive app ecosystem. However, relying on off-the-shelf free themes or installing dozens of bloated third-party plugins inevitably results in generic-looking stores, slow mobile load speeds, and high recurring subscription fees.

At Arvis Digital, we provide bespoke Shopify store development, theme customization, and migration services for brands in Chennai, India, and internationally. Our developers engineer custom Shopify themes using modern Liquid, JSON templates, and lightweight JavaScript, delivering distinctive storefront designs that reflect your brand identity while maintaining lightning-fast page load times.

We distinguish strictly between Shopify development and WordPress-based WooCommerce development. While WooCommerce offers total open-source database ownership and zero platform transaction fees, Shopify provides a managed, maintenance-free cloud environment ideal for high-growth consumer brands. We help you extract maximum commercial value from Shopify—from custom collection filtering and Indian payment gateway setups to Shopify Checkout Extensibility and ERP synchronisation.

Direct-to-consumer (D2C) retail brands launching scalable online storefronts
Growing physical retail chains in India expanding into digital omnichannel sales

Clear Answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Direct answers regarding service scope, technical dependencies, project timelines, and commercial factors.

Should our business choose Shopify or WooCommerce for our online store?

Shopify is best if you want a fully hosted, turnkey e-commerce platform with zero server management, automatic security updates, and a proven checkout system. WooCommerce is preferable if you want complete ownership of your database, zero platform transaction fees, or deep integration with a content-heavy WordPress site. We help you weigh platform costs against operational needs.

Can Arvis Digital customize Shopify themes without installing dozens of monthly paid apps?

Yes! That is one of our core specialties. Many popular features (like product FAQ accordions, sticky add-to-cart bars, variant color swatches, announcement bars, and trust badges) can be coded directly into your Shopify theme using Liquid and CSS. This saves hundreds of dollars in recurring app fees and keeps your store blazing fast.

Which payment gateways can we integrate on Shopify for Indian customers?

For Indian merchants, we integrate Razorpay, Cashfree, PayU, and Stripe. These gateways support all Indian payment preferences including UPI apps (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), credit/debit cards, net banking, and Cash on Delivery (COD) with automated verification.

How do you handle store migrations from WooCommerce or Magento to Shopify without losing SEO?

We perform comprehensive URL inventory crawls before migration, export your product SKUs, customer records, and historical orders, and create strict 1-to-1 301 URL redirects in Shopify. This preserves your accumulated search engine rankings and ensures old bookmarked links do not return 404 errors.

What is Shopify Checkout Extensibility and why does it matter?

Shopify Checkout Extensibility is Shopify’s modern, secure architecture for customizing checkout pages (replacing the deprecated checkout.liquid file). It allows us to add custom fields, trust badges, localized upsell offers, and loyalty rewards directly into the checkout flow without compromising security or checkout speed.
