Built for retail brands, manufacturers, and Amazon sellers ready to sell directly to buyers. You get a lightning-fast mobile shopping experience, instant Razorpay/UPI checkout, automated Shiprocket shipping, smart COD verification, and 100% code ownership.
Selling on marketplaces like Amazon or Flipkart gives you immediate traffic, but takes 18% to 28% of your revenue in commissions, referral fees, and closing fees. Even worse, you never own the customer relationship: you cannot email your past buyers or build genuine repeat loyalty.
When sellers try building their own store, they usually hit two walls: Shopify appears affordable at first, but essential apps (COD OTP verification, reviews, custom invoice PDFs, and WhatsApp alerts) quickly add ₹15,000 to ₹30,000 in monthly recurring software fees. Meanwhile, WooCommerce stores get bloated with 25 different plugins, leading to slow mobile checkout and plugin crashes during peak flash sales.
A clean, purpose-built store engineered to your exact product catalog. You pay once to build the asset, own 100% of the code, keep your customer data private, and avoid monthly plugin rent.
18% to 28% eaten in marketplace referral cuts and delivery penalties. Zero direct access to your customer contact data.
Paying $10 to $50 every month for basic features like COD verification, invoice printing, and size charts on rented platforms.
Fake orders and undelivered return shipments (RTO) draining courier charges without smart verification before packaging.
Sub-second custom store, native Razorpay & PhonePe UPI, automated Shiprocket label sync, and automated OTP verification on COD.
We build complete, production-ready stores engineered for conversion, automated fulfillment, and effortless daily administration.
Clean product listings with multi-attribute variations (size, color, pack size, weight). Instant search with price and category filters that load without page reloads.
Streamlined 1-step or 2-step checkout built for mobile shoppers. Autofill addresses, guest checkout option, and zero sluggish redirects to keep drop-offs to a minimum.
Direct integration with Razorpay, PhonePe, Paytm, and Stripe. Supports Google Pay, PhonePe UPI Intent, Credit/Debit cards, NetBanking, and EMI with instant payment webhooks.
Shiprocket / NimbusPost API integration with live pincode serviceability check. Smart Cash on Delivery (COD) with automated OTP or WhatsApp confirmation to prevent fake orders and costly RTO.
Automated GST tax breakdown (CGST, SGST, IGST) based on customer state, HSN code tagging, downloadable PDF invoice generation, and monthly sales report export for your tax filings.
Central control panel for your staff: live stock deduction when orders are placed, low-stock warnings, one-click shipping label printing, and automated tracking status updates for buyers.
Automated Schema.org Product markup with price, availability, and customer reviews. Clean canonical URLs, automated WebP image compression, and fast Core Web Vitals scores.
Every platform has its place. We believe in recommending what genuinely fits your business stage rather than pushing a one-size-fits-all pitch.
| Decision Factor | Kharigo Custom Store | Shopify | WooCommerce |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly Software Fees | ₹0 / month (One-time build, 100% owned) | ₹2,500 to ₹30,000/mo + $10-$50 per app plugin | ₹0 base, but ₹5,000–₹15,000/mo for paid plugins & heavy hosting |
| Page Load Speed & Mobile UX | Sub-second page load (0.6s to 1.2s), zero bloat | Moderate (Slows down as 10+ third-party apps inject scripts) | Slow to moderate (Heavily dependent on WordPress plugins & cache) |
| Transaction Fees on Sales | 0% platform fee (Pay only standard gateway fee ~1.9%) | 0.5% to 2% extra fee if not using Shopify Payments | 0% platform fee (Standard gateway fee applies) |
| COD & RTO Verification Control | Custom WhatsApp/OTP flow without expensive app subscriptions | Requires expensive monthly third-party Shopify apps | Possible via plugins, but prone to conflict after updates |
| Source Code & Data Ownership | 100% Client owned, full database & code access | Zero code ownership (Rented proprietary platform) | Self-hosted, but complex to scale and maintain |
| When is it the right choice? | Best for growing D2C brands, manufacturers, and high-order stores wanting fast speed, zero recurring app fees, and full control. | Best for quick non-technical tests with small catalogs (<50 products) if monthly app fees are not an issue. | Best if you already run a WordPress content blog and want a basic merchandise shop on the side. |

Here is how we helped an active multi-channel seller launch their own profitable direct-to-consumer store.
An active seller doing ₹25 Lakhs/month across Amazon and Flipkart was losing 18% to 28% in marketplace commissions. They wanted their own direct brand website to retain repeat buyers, but struggled with inventory mismatches and high COD return rates (RTO).
Built a lightweight custom e-commerce store with instant UPI checkout, automated Shiprocket shipping label generation, automated WhatsApp OTP verification on COD orders, and two-way inventory syncing with their central warehouse.
Shipped the store in 4 weeks. Repeat buyers shifted directly to the website, saving the brand over ₹1.8 Lakhs in monthly marketplace fees. Automated COD verification cut RTO return shipments by 34%.
We do not quote arbitrary prices. Your investment is driven by four practical functional requirements:
A focused store with 20 to 100 products is fast to build. A catalog with 2,000+ SKUs across multi-level filters and bulk variant imports requires specialized database indexing.
Standard courier tracking is simple. Automated multi-warehouse order routing, automated courier partner assignment (via Shiprocket), and reverse return pickups add integration logic.
Basic COD requires no extra steps. Automated WhatsApp OTP verification or risk scoring based on customer history significantly lowers RTO costs for high-volume stores.
Standard retail B2C checkout involves fixed pricing. Adding wholesale tier pricing, minimum order quantities (MOQ), and GST credit billing requires multi-tier customer logic.
