Best free online store builder in India

The five checks that separate a free store from a free demo, and how the builders compare.

Short answer: The best free builder is the one whose free plan still works once you have real orders: no product cap, no fee on each sale, cash on delivery, your own payment gateway, and GST invoices. D2 Commerce OS passes all five on its Free plan with unlimited products and orders and 0% commission. Most other free tiers fail at least one, usually a product cap or a per-sale fee.

The five checks

Run these against any free plan before you build on it.

How the builders compare

The comparison guide lists 13 builders available in India with their free plan limits, fee on each sale, own domain and COD support, taken from their own pricing pages and checked in October 2026. Prices change, so the guide carries a correction link.

When to pay

Pay when you want your own domain, a pixel for ads, or recovery of abandoned checkouts on WhatsApp. On D2 Commerce OS those are the Starter and Growth plans at ₹249 and ₹599 a month plus GST. Until then the Free plan is enough to take orders.
