Checkout, payments and shipping as one flow.

Shopify Select Partner, and official partner of PhonePe and Cashfree. We also work with GoKwik, Fastrr Checkout, Razorpay and Shiprocket.

Where orders get lost

The checkout problems Indian stores share.

Most of these never show up as an error. They show up as orders that were almost placed, or placed and then refused at the door.

Cash on delivery orders that come back

A COD order that is refused at the door is not a sale. It is two shipping bills, a blocked unit of stock and a customer who never paid.

A checkout that asks for too much

Every extra field, OTP or page between the cart and the order is a point where a buyer on a phone gives up.

Payment options that do not match the buyer

Indian buyers expect UPI, cards, wallets and often COD. A checkout that hides the one they use loses the order.

Apps that do not talk to each other

Checkout app, gateway, shipping panel and WhatsApp messages set up by different people, so an order falls through the gaps between them.

Purchases missing from your reports

A checkout that runs outside the theme can stop sending purchase events to GA4 and Meta, so ads optimise on half the picture.

Nobody tested a refund

Prepaid, COD, partial refunds and cancellations each take a different path. Most stores only find the broken one when a customer complains.

What we set up

Everything between the cart and the courier.

Six parts that usually get set up by different people at different times. We connect them once, in your accounts, and test them together.

Checkout

Shopify checkout or a third-party checkout for Indian stores, configured with your branding, address handling and payment order.

Checkout options

Shopify checkout, or one built for India?

There is no single right answer. Pick an option to see how it works and when it fits. Plans and fees are set by each provider, so check their current pricing.

Shopify checkout

  • Runs on Shopify's own checkout, so it stays inside the platform you already use.
  • Indian gateways such as Razorpay, PhonePe and Cashfree can be connected as payment providers.
  • On standard plans the checkout can be branded and extended only within the limits Shopify sets.
  • On Shopify Plus, checkout extensibility opens up more: custom fields, logic and blocks.

When it fits

Good when most of your orders are prepaid and you want the fewest moving parts.

Ask which suits your store

GoKwik

  • Checkout and COD tools built for Indian stores.
  • Replaces the standard checkout flow with its own, while orders still land in your Shopify admin.
  • COD controls and prepaid options depend on the plan you take with GoKwik.
  • We check that your theme, discounts and tracking still work once it is switched on.

When it fits

Worth comparing when a large share of your orders are cash on delivery.

Ask which suits your store

Fastrr Checkout

  • A one-click checkout for Indian buyers.
  • Replaces the standard checkout flow, with orders created in Shopify as usual.
  • Features and fees depend on the plan you take with the provider.
  • Tracking, discount codes and shipping rules are tested end to end before launch.

When it fits

Worth comparing when repeat buyers and speed at checkout matter most.

Ask which suits your store

On Shopify Plus? Checkout extensibility can add custom fields and logic to Shopify's own checkout. See our Shopify Plus development service.

Cash on delivery

Keep COD. Control it.

Switching COD off often costs more orders than it saves. These are the levers we set up instead, using the tools you already pay for. We do not promise a figure: we show you the COD share and returned orders before and after.

WhatsApp confirmations

COD confirmation and abandoned cart messages are part of our WhatsApp work as well.

See WhatsApp automation

Confirm before you ship

A WhatsApp message asks the buyer to confirm a COD order. Unconfirmed orders wait instead of going straight to the courier.

Check the address

Incomplete addresses and pin codes your courier cannot serve are caught at checkout, not at the door.

Make prepaid the easy choice

Prepaid offers and the order of payment options are set so paying upfront is the obvious path, where your checkout tool supports it.

Set COD rules

COD switched off above or below an order value, for certain products or for pin codes you choose, using the rules your checkout and shipping tools offer.

Handle returns cleanly

Return to origin orders tracked in your shipping panel and restocked in Shopify, so stock levels stay right.

Watch it in one place

COD share, confirmation rate and returned orders reviewed together, so you can tell whether a change helped.

Tested before launch

Every payment path, run end to end.

Gateways stay in test mode while we place orders through every path a real buyer can take. Each one is checked in Shopify, in the gateway, in the shipping panel and in your analytics.

  • Test mode first

    No real money moves until every path has passed.

  • Events checked

    Purchase events confirmed in GA4 DebugView and Meta Events Manager.

  • A handover note

    How the checkout, gateways, messages and courier are connected, in plain language.

How it works

From store check to first real order.

Five steps, in your own Shopify, gateway and shipping accounts. You keep every login and every account when we are done.

  1. Step 1

    Store check

    We look at your current checkout, payment options, COD share, shipping setup and tracking, and write down what is broken or missing.

    • Written findings
    • No obligation
  2. Step 2

    Choose the setup

    Shopify checkout or a third-party checkout, which gateways and which COD rules, explained in writing with the reasons.

    • Options compared
    • Fixed quote
  3. Step 3

    Configure in test mode

    Accounts connected, settings applied and messages written, with gateways in test mode so no real money moves.

    • Test mode
    • Your accounts
  4. Step 4

    Test every path

    Prepaid, COD, discounts, refunds and cancellations run end to end, and purchase events checked in GA4 and Meta.

    • Test orders
    • Tracking verified
  5. Step 5

    Go live and watch

    Switched on at a quiet hour, then the first real orders watched closely, with a handover note on how everything is connected.

    • Handover note
    • Support after launch

Pricing

A fixed quote after a free store check.

A gateway on its own is a small job. A new checkout with COD rules, WhatsApp messages, shipping and tracking is a bigger one. So we look first, then quote a fixed price with the scope written down.

You get a store check

Your checkout, payments, COD share, shipping and tracking reviewed, with findings in writing.

Then a fixed quote

The scope, the accounts involved and the price, agreed before any work starts.

Provider fees stay separate

Checkout apps, gateways and couriers bill you directly on the plan you choose with them.

FAQ

Checkout and COD questions, answered.

Ask anything about your own checkout in the form below and you will get a straight answer.

It depends on your order mix. If most orders are prepaid, Shopify's own checkout with a good Indian gateway is often enough and has the fewest moving parts. If cash on delivery is a large share, a checkout built for Indian stores such as GoKwik or Fastrr is worth comparing. We look at your numbers first and recommend in writing.

Yes. Indian gateways such as Razorpay, PhonePe and Cashfree can be connected to Shopify as payment providers, so buyers can pay by UPI, cards, net banking and wallets inside Shopify's checkout. We set the gateway up in test mode first, run test payments and refunds, and only then switch it on for real buyers.

Usually not. Many Indian buyers still choose COD, and switching it off can cost more orders than it saves. The better route is control: confirm COD orders before they ship, catch bad addresses at checkout, set COD rules by order value or pin code, and make prepaid the easy choice. Then measure whether the returns actually fall.

We cannot promise a number, because it depends on your products, price points and buyers. What we set up are the usual levers: a WhatsApp confirmation before shipping, address and pin code checks, COD rules, prepaid options, and clean return handling in your shipping panel. We then show you the COD share and returned orders before and after.

It can, which is why we test it. A checkout that runs outside your theme has to send purchase and checkout events to GA4 and Meta in its own way. We place test orders and check each event in GA4 DebugView and Meta Events Manager before launch, so your ads keep optimising on real purchases.

You pay each provider directly, on the plan you choose with them, and those fees go to them, not to us. Rates change, so check the current pricing with each provider before you sign. Our quote covers the setup work: configuration, connections, messages, testing and the handover.

Yes. On Shopify Plus, checkout extensibility allows custom fields, logic and blocks inside Shopify's own checkout, which can remove the need for a separate checkout app. We build those extensions as part of our Shopify Plus work and connect them to your gateways, shipping and tracking.

No. We configure everything with gateways in test mode and run test orders while your current checkout keeps taking real orders. The switch happens at a quiet hour you agree to, and we watch the first real orders closely afterwards. If something looks wrong, the previous setup can be switched back on.

Yes. We connect Shiprocket to your store for courier allocation, pickups, tracking pages and delivery updates, so a paid or confirmed order reaches the courier without copying data by hand. Returned orders are tracked there and restocked in Shopify, so your stock levels stay right.

It depends on what you already have and what changes: a gateway alone is a small job, while a new checkout with COD rules, WhatsApp messages, shipping and tracking is a bigger one. After a free store check you get a fixed quote in writing, with the scope listed, before any work starts.
