What does an online store from Akvega actually include?

An Akvega online store includes store design and catalogue structure, payments, shipping and GST-ready invoicing, inventory sync with the systems you already run, conversion tracking through to the order, and a launch checklist with handover. The store, payment and hosting accounts are created in your name.

Online stores are quoted per project from the diagnostic; there is no list price. What moves the number is catalogue size, marketplace, ERP or logistics integrations, and custom checkout logic. A small catalogue on Shopify and a custom storefront with subscriptions are different jobs.

With a paid diagnostic. Akvega audits the current store or website, catalogue, payments and tracking, alongside the Google Business Profile and social accounts, and returns the findings within 1 to 2 working days with the cost to fix each item. The audit is yours either way.

Shopify for most stores: it handles catalogue, checkout and fulfilment well and your team can run it. A custom storefront on Next.js with Supabase or PostgreSQL and Stripe is for checkout logic, pricing or integrations Shopify cannot express. The diagnostic recommends one with reasons.

Yes. Akvega builds checkouts UPI-first, because that is how buyers in India expect to pay, with cards, wallets and cash on delivery as options. Cash-on-delivery orders can be limited by pincode or order value, and the payment gateway account is opened in your name.

Yes. Every order produces a GST-ready invoice with your GSTIN, HSN codes and the correct tax split for intra-state and inter-state sales, so your accountant works from the store’s records rather than re-keying them. Invoice format is agreed with you before launch.

Yes. Pincode-level delivery rules decide where you ship, what shipping costs, how long it takes and whether cash on delivery is offered, so a Hyderabad buyer and a buyer in another state see accurate options at checkout. Rules can be changed by your team afterwards.

Yes. Akvega connects stock, orders and customers to the marketplace, ERP or logistics systems you already run, so a sale on the store, in a shop or on a marketplace is reflected everywhere. Which integrations are in scope is settled in the diagnostic.

That is what it is built for. Shopify carries the traffic on its own infrastructure; a custom storefront is served from Vercel or Cloudflare with the catalogue cached ahead of time. Carts survive a dropped connection and a retried payment, and the checkout is load-tested before launch.

Yes. Akvega is based in Hyderabad, Telangana, and builds stores for businesses selling locally and across India, in English, Telugu and Hindi where the buyers need it. Delivery rules, cash on delivery and GST invoicing are set up for how commerce actually works here.

You do, from day one. The Shopify store or code repository, the payment gateway, hosting, domain and analytics are all created in your name, not Akvega’s. Leaving means handing a documented store to another team, not negotiating to get your own accounts back.

Yes, and that is the point of one team. The store is built with add-to-cart, checkout and purchase events in your analytics, so Google Ads, Meta Ads and search are measured to revenue, and a landing page or checkout fix ships the week the campaign needs it.

Usually not at launch. A store built to load fast on a phone browser is where buyers start, and Akvega builds every store that way first. An app earns its place when repeat purchase, notifications or offline use justify it, and Akvega builds those as a separate project.
