Question 1

How do I decide between eCatalog and eCommerce?

Accepted Answer

If the move to D2C still depends on catalog depth, inquiry, quotation, or buyer qualification before checkout, eCatalog is usually the right first step. If the business is ready to own products, payments, order handling, direct checkout, and the mobile commerce channel itself, that moves into eCommerce.

Question 2

What does starting at USD 6,000 for eCatalog actually mean?

Accepted Answer

It means Shivira shows a strategic anchor price publicly instead of hiding behind vague custom-language. The final proposal still depends on catalog depth, product structure, and execution scope.

Question 3

Is eCommerce a fixed USD 20,000 project?

Accepted Answer

No. That number is a starting point, not a blind fixed promise for every case. eCommerce work depends on the size of the catalog, checkout flows, operations, integrations, and post-launch needs, so the commercial path is confirmed only after fit and scope are clear.

Question 4

What makes eCommerce different from a normal website package with a cart?

Accepted Answer

A normal website package can show products. A real commerce system also has to manage catalog structure, checkout, payment reliability, promotions, shipping logic, search, admin workflows, and post-launch continuity. In the eCommerce engagement, that also means a native iOS app and a native Android app — not as add-ons, but as part of the same program. That is why eCommerce is treated as a deeper operational system rather than a cosmetic add-on.

Question 5

Why does eCommerce include iOS AND Android apps?

Accepted Answer

Because your customers are on their phones. A commerce system that only covers the web is incomplete for any brand serious about D2C. Most organizations that need iOS and Android together end up hiring three separate vendors: a web agency, an iOS firm, and an Android developer. That means three contracts, three accountability gaps, and no one holding the full channel. Shivira delivers web, iOS, and Android as one program, under one engagement, with one accountable team.

Question 6

What is actually included in the iOS and Android apps?

Accepted Answer

Native apps — not web views, not a hybrid shell. Full commerce experience, push notifications, native checkout flows, App Store and Play Store submission, and ongoing version management. The iOS and Android builds are built in parallel as first-class deliverables, not afterthoughts ported from the web platform after go-live.

Question 7

Who handles updates, hosting, and security?

Accepted Answer

Shivira does. The point of the model is not just launch, but continuity after launch: uptime, security reviews, technical stewardship, and next-phase planning. For eCommerce this also includes app version management — keeping the iOS and Android builds current as platform requirements evolve.

Question 8

Can I start with eCatalog and move to eCommerce later?

Accepted Answer

Yes. That is often the practical route. eCatalog gives the business a premium first digital commerce layer, and if online transactions become necessary later, the next stage can be scoped from a cleaner starting point instead of forcing a rushed full rebuild from day one.

Question 9

What if I already had a website, but it is weak, expired, or badly handled?

Accepted Answer

That still fits. Sometimes Shivira is not creating a first digital layer, but giving an old one a cleaner second life. The work may involve rebuilding the presentation, moving away from weak infrastructure, or recovering useful material and relaunching it properly.

Question 10

If I already have products somewhere else, do I need to start from zero?

Accepted Answer

Not always. Existing catalog data, product structure, or business rules can sometimes be reused or migrated, but only where the source is clean enough to justify it. Shivira should not force migration theatre when a cleaner fresh setup is the better commercial move.

Question 11

How do I know exactly what I'll get before paying?

Accepted Answer

The fit and scope are clarified before work begins. You should understand what is included, what is not, what the pricing logic is, and what the next step will be. If Shivira is not the right fit for the requirement, that should be said directly rather than blurred into a sale.

Question 12

What happens after the first managed launch cycle?

Accepted Answer

The initial launch cycle covers the first active continuity window. Before that period ends, the renewal, support, or expansion path should be discussed clearly so the business is not surprised by silence, expiry, or a broken handoff.

Question 13

Do you work internationally?

Accepted Answer

Shivira is positioned for international commercial conversations. If a requirement is a serious fit and the communication path stays clear, location alone does not disqualify it. The standard remains the same either way: clear scope, written pricing logic, direct contact, and continuity after launch.
