Quick to launch
A complete, tested store in weeks.
Shopify stores for Chennai saree and jewellery sellers, coffee and food makers and consumer startups, serving customers across India and the Tamil diaspora.
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
A filter coffee roaster in Mylapore, a boutique in Nungambakkam selling handloom cottons, a family in Mambalam making traditional snacks, a startup in Adyar launching natural skincare: each wants to sell online without becoming a technology company. Shopify makes that possible. It is dependable, quick to launch and simple to operate, and it handles the international orders that Chennai's sellers so often receive.
Quavento Technologies sets up, designs and improves Shopify stores for Chennai businesses. We handle theme design, products, payments, domestic and overseas shipping, apps, tracking and training. We also migrate stores from other platforms and repair those that are slow or disappointing.
We work from Pune and collaborate remotely, visiting Chennai for workshops and product shoots when they are useful.

Run the store with confidence.
It removes the technical burden. Hosting, security and updates are handled by the platform, and the store stays available through the heavy traffic before Deepavali or Pongal.
The admin is simple enough to manage from a phone, which matters to owners who are also on the shop floor or in the kitchen.
Its support for several currencies and for international checkout suits sellers whose customers live in Singapore, the Gulf, the United States and elsewhere.
It also guards against a risk that worries many first-time sellers: dependence on one developer. Because Shopify is standard and widely understood, any competent professional can take over a store, and the business is never held hostage.
A clear selection of products, good photographs, accurate descriptions, prices, packaging and a simple routine for packing and dispatch. GST registration, and FSSAI for food, should be in place.
It helps to think about the first customers. They are usually people who already buy from you, relatives and friends in other cities and followers on social media.
We provide a checklist and help with whatever is missing, including photography and a brand identity if you do not yet have one.
We usually advise starting with the products that sell best in the shop and travel well. Thirty carefully photographed and described items make a better store than three hundred hurried ones, and more can be added once the routine of packing and dispatch is established.
We learn what makes the product special and who buys it, then customise a theme so that the store reflects your brand.
The home page explains who you are, shows your most popular products and makes buying simple. On a phone, the price, key details and the buy button are always within reach.
Chennai customers tend to prefer clarity to decoration. We keep the design clean and let good photographs and honest descriptions do the persuading.
Handloom cottons, Kanchipuram silks and Chettinad weaves are bought with attention to detail. Customers want to see the weave, the border and the true colour.
We organise collections by weave, occasion and price, use detailed photographs and video and describe material, technique and care. Blouse stitching and finishing can be added at checkout.
Each handwoven piece is listed individually and marked sold the moment it is purchased.
Product pages show purity, weight, certification and close-up images, with pieces also shown worn so that scale is clear.
Appointment and video consultation booking let a customer in another city see a piece and ask questions before deciding.
Insured delivery, transparent pricing and clear exchange terms carry the trust of the shop into the online store.
Many customers will not complete a large purchase online, and need not. A store that lets them browse, save a shortlist and book a time to see the pieces in the showroom, or on video, still wins the sale.
Coffee buyers want to choose blend, roast and grind, and to know when the coffee was roasted. Buyers of podis, pickles, sweets and snacks want ingredients, weight and shelf life.
We present these plainly, show FSSAI details and create combination packs and gift boxes. Subscriptions suit staples that households reorder every few weeks.
Perishable items are offered only where they can be delivered fresh, and the store says so honestly.
Festival sweets and savouries are bought in quantity before Deepavali, both for the household and as gifts. A pre-order page with a clear last date, pack sizes and delivery by courier lets a small maker plan production instead of being overwhelmed in the final week.
Founders launching skincare, snacks, apparel or home products need to reach customers and learn from them quickly.
We build a clean store, set up accurate tracking and help plan the first modest campaigns. We also work through pricing with you, so that shipping, payment fees and advertising are covered.
The store is built so that pages and offers can be tested and changed, since early assumptions about customers rarely survive unaltered.
Traditional ingredients are finding new audiences: millets, cold-pressed oils, herbal hair care. Founders working with these have a natural story about origin and method, and we help them tell it without making claims that cannot be supported.
We integrate a gateway for UPI, cards, net banking and wallets, and enable cash on delivery with sensible limits. For buyers abroad, international cards are accepted and prices shown in their currency.
Every route is tested with real transactions before launch.
We explain how and when money reaches your bank, what is deducted and how refunds work, so that there are no surprises.
We configure markets for the countries you wish to serve, with local currency and an estimate of duties shown at checkout.
We advise on which products can be exported, how they should be packed and which carriers are suitable. Foods in particular have rules that vary by country.
Order cut-offs before festivals are set earlier for overseas customers and displayed clearly.
A courier aggregator is connected, so that the best carrier is selected for each destination, labels are printed automatically and customers receive tracking updates.
Rates are set by weight and zone, and a free shipping threshold can encourage larger orders. Local delivery within Chennai can be offered separately.
During the north-east monsoon, deliveries can be delayed by rain and flooding. We help you set honest timelines for those weeks and inform customers in advance.
We keep to essentials: reviews, order notifications, invoicing, shipping and, where relevant, subscriptions or appointment booking. Each extra app adds cost and can slow the store.
Small features are built into the theme where possible, which avoids recurring fees.
The store can offer Tamil alongside English, with content written naturally by native speakers and messages sent in the customer's chosen language.
We connect analytics, Google Merchant Center and Meta and confirm that sales are recorded correctly, so that you know which channels produce orders.
The first customers are usually people who know you already. We help you announce the store, encourage reviews and run small, targeted campaigns.
Campaigns can reach Tamil-speaking communities in other Indian cities and abroad, and creators with a following among them can introduce the brand.
We audit speed, design, product pages, checkout and tracking, and list problems in order of likely impact.
Common improvements are better photographs, delivery information shown early, fewer apps and a shorter checkout.
Each change is measured, so you can see what made a difference.
A simple test is to ask someone unfamiliar with the store to buy a particular product on a phone while you watch. Where they hesitate or give up shows exactly what to fix first.
Yes. We move products, customers and order history, clean the data as we go and set up redirects so that links and search rankings are preserved.
The switch is planned for a quiet period and tested beforehand.
Customers are informed and invited to log in to the new store.
A monthly subscription to Shopify, a small percentage to the payment gateway on each sale and any app charges. International orders carry additional costs.
We set these out clearly and recommend a plan that matches your sales.
We prepare a worked example for your own product, so that you can price with every cost in view.
Owners used to counter sales are sometimes surprised by the cost of returns and failed deliveries. We include a realistic allowance for these in the calculation, so that the price set online leaves a real margin.
We train you and your staff to manage products, orders, refunds, discounts and basic reports, and record the sessions for reference.
We prepare replies to common customer questions and nominate one person on your side as the owner of the store, so that orders are never left unattended.
Before Pongal, the Aadi sale and Deepavali, we help prepare collections and offers and remain on call during the busiest days.
We leave you with a single page describing the daily routine: check new orders, print labels, pack, hand over to the courier, answer messages. With that routine, one person can run a small store in an hour or two a day.
Consider a coffee roaster in Mylapore whose customers have bought freshly ground powder at the counter for decades. Children of those customers, now living elsewhere, ask for it to be couriered.
We would build a store with blend, roast and grind choices, roast dates, brewing guidance, a subscription with flexible intervals and shipping across India and to selected countries.
Customers could reorder in a minute from anywhere, and the roaster would gain a steady, predictable flow of orders alongside the shop.
Meetings are held by video, and designs and progress are shared online. Products can be couriered to us for photography, or we can arrange a shoot in Chennai.
You have one contact from the first call to launch and beyond.
Questions are answered promptly by message or phone.
A short weekly call and a shared message group are usually enough to keep a project moving. Owners tell us that questions are answered faster this way than they expected from a team in another city.
