Colan Infotech builds custom ecommerce websites — with AI product recommendations, smart search, WhatsApp checkout, payment gateway integration and GST compliance — so your store works harder than your best salesperson, 24 hours a day.
Tell us what you sell. We’ll map exactly what your ecommerce store needs — features, integrations, timeline and investment. Free, no commitment.
Every business that calls us has hit at least one of these walls. If your store is doing this to you, it is time to build it properly.
Template stores are indistinguishable from each other. Every theme is used by thousands of other brands. Your store should look, feel and work like your brand — not a default layout.
Cart abandonment kills D2C businesses. Generic checkouts with too many steps, no WhatsApp pay option, no COD flexibility and no UPI support lose sales your marketing team worked hard to bring in.
Template platforms throttle performance under load. A Big Billion Day or a festival campaign surge should be a revenue event, not a moment where your store goes down and customers leave.
Inventory plugin ₹3,000/month. CRM integration ₹2,500. Analytics ₹2,000. Return management ₹1,800. The platform is “free” but your total monthly spend is five times the subscription.
Your platform wasn’t built for Indian tax compliance. GSTR-1 reconciliation, HSN code mapping, e-invoicing for B2B orders — all manual. Your CA spends time fixing your platform’s errors every quarter.
AI product recommendations, smart search, chatbot customer service, demand forecasting — every template platform promises these. Most are shallow integrations or require enterprise pricing to unlock.
Shopify and Wix are good for validating an idea. They are not built for a business that wants to own its customer experience, its data and its growth trajectory.

We were on Shopify for two years paying ₹18,000/month in apps. Colan rebuilt our entire store custom. The AI recommendation engine alone recovered the project cost in the first quarter — customers are buying 2.3x more per visit.
The WhatsApp checkout integration was the single biggest revenue unlock for us. Our customers in Tier 2 cities were abandoning web checkout. After WhatsApp checkout went live, our conversion rate went from 1.2% to 3.8%.
We built a B2B wholesale portal for 400+ trade buyers. Custom pricing per account, bulk ordering, GST invoice on every order. What used to take our sales team a full day now happens automatically. Colan delivered in 11 weeks.
The GST module is what sold us. Our CA used to spend 3 days reconciling our Shopify exports every quarter. With Colan’s custom store, GSTR-1 is auto-generated. Our CA literally said she wished every client was on this system.
Our marketplace went from 12 vendors to 380 vendors in 8 months. The vendor dashboard Colan built made onboarding self-service. Commission settlement used to be a 2-person job every Friday — now it’s automated and instant.
