Ecommerce Website Development in Chennai for Silk, Garments and More
Online stores for Chennai sellers, from textiles and jewellery to coffee and handmade goods. Built remotely by a Pune and Nashik team.
We are a Pune and Nashik studio that builds online stores for Chennai sellers remotely. If you already sell from a shop in T. Nagar, Purasawalkam or Mylapore, or through a marketplace, the question is how to sell direct, keep the customer details and avoid paying commission on every order.
Tamil Nadu has strong product categories. Kanchipuram silk, cotton and knitwear from the Tirupur belt, temple jewellery, filter coffee and spices, leather goods and handmade items. Each one needs a different store. Silk buyers want to see the zari and the weave. Garment buyers want size charts and returns that work.
A custom online store with catalogue, checkout, Razorpay or another gateway, COD rules and GST invoicing starts at ₹75,000. If your range is small and simple, Shopify may be cheaper to start. We will tell you honestly which fits better. Either way, you keep the customer list and order history, which a marketplace usually does not hand over in a usable form.
Product types and the store features they need
Silk and handloom sarees
Customers buy silk after studying close-up photos, so image quality drives sales. The store needs zoom, colour variants, care notes and honest descriptions of the weave. Many sellers also take video calls for high-value orders, so a WhatsApp enquiry button belongs on the product page.
Garments and knitwear
Seller groups near Tirupur supply both retail and bulk buyers. The store may need two price lists, minimum order quantities for wholesale and size charts. Returns are the cost centre here, so clear exchange rules and tidy reason codes help.
Temple jewellery and accessories
Jewellery buyers want trust signals: hallmarks where applicable, clear weight and making charges and a visible return policy. Price may follow metal rates, so the store should allow quick rate updates. High-value orders often need a call before dispatch.
Coffee, spices and food gifts
Repeat purchase is the opportunity. Subscriptions, reorder buttons and gift boxes make sense here. Perishable limits, packaging and pin code reach need rules at checkout, and the store should state them before payment.
Selling online from Chennai
Gateway and COD settings
We connect Razorpay or another gateway to your own account for UPI and cards. COD can be limited by pin code or order value, since fake COD orders hurt margins.
Tamil and English product pages
Product names and descriptions can be shown in both languages, and customers can switch. You provide the Tamil text, and we make sure the fonts and search work.
Handover and training
We train your team on adding products, updating stock and handling returns, over a video call. After launch there is one month of support included.

Chennai questions
How many photos does a silk saree product page need?
Plan for at least four to six: full drape, close weave, border, pallu, and the colour in daylight. Poor colour matching causes returns. We build the page to show these clearly, but shooting them well is the biggest factor in conversion and falls to you or a photographer.
Can one store handle retail and wholesale customers?
Yes. We can add a wholesale login with its own prices and minimum quantities, approved by you. It adds some build effort, so we scope it early. Many sellers begin with retail and add wholesale once the store is running smoothly.
Should I leave marketplaces once I have my own store?
Not necessarily. Marketplaces bring discovery, and your own store brings margin and customer data. Many Chennai sellers use both. We build your store so orders from both can be handled in one place, and we avoid promising that your own store will replace them.
How do I stop fake or returned COD orders?
Limit COD to certain pin codes or order values, confirm orders by WhatsApp or call before dispatch, and offer a small prepaid discount. None of these removes the problem entirely, but together they reduce losses. We can build each of them in.
Do you set up GST invoices for my store?
Yes. Invoices carry your GSTIN, HSN codes and tax split for in-state or inter-state orders. Please confirm rates and rules with your CA, as we set up what you specify and do not give tax advice.
