Why Indian Businesses Choose Cresivox

Built specifically for India — not adapted from a foreign product

Save ₹25,000+ per year

Shopify Basic costs ~₹2,400/month = ₹28,800/year before transaction fees. Cresivox Reseller is ₹2,499/month but includes 0% transaction fees, GST invoicing, and full Indian payment support — no extra apps needed.

Zero transaction fees

Shopify charges 2% on every sale unless you use Shopify Payments — which isn't available in India. Every ₹10,000 you sell costs ₹200 extra. Cresivox charges nothing per sale.

Razorpay without plugins

Razorpay, PayU, and UPI are built into Cresivox. On Shopify, you need third-party apps (most are paid) to accept Indian payments.

Full website, not just a store

Shopify is primarily a store builder. Cresivox gives you a complete website with homepage, about page, blog, and store — all in one.

GST-ready invoices

Automatically generate GST-compliant tax invoices for every order. On Shopify, you need a paid app (₹500-₹2,000/month) to do the same.

Simple for non-tech founders

Shopify has a learning curve — themes, apps, Liquid templates. Cresivox is designed for business owners, not developers. Set up in minutes, not days.

Our Verdict

Shopify is powerful — but it's built for international sellers and priced for Western markets. For an Indian seller, you're paying USD pricing, 2% transaction fees, and extra for basic features like Indian payment gateways and GST invoices. Unless you're doing ₹50L+ in monthly sales where Shopify's advanced features matter, Cresivox gives you everything you need at a fraction of the cost.
