Create your own online store with UPI and cash on delivery, WhatsApp order updates and GST invoices. It's free forever as long as you're under 100 orders a month, with no card needed and no deadline. When you grow past that, you pay per order, not a monthly plan.
Most "free" ecommerce websites give you a storefront and stop there. For an Indian store, the work starts after the order: confirming COD orders, booking couriers, sending updates, making invoices and checking that the money arrived. Those are part of the free plan here, because that's where small stores lose the most time.

Yes. If your store takes 100 orders a month or fewer, D2 Commerce OS costs nothing, with no time limit and no card needed to start. It isn't a trial that ends after a few days.
From the 101st order in a month, that month is billed at ₹10 per order, with every feature included. At higher volumes it drops to ₹8 and then ₹6 per order. If you go back under 100 orders the next month, it's free again.
The platform itself is free. Payment gateways charge their own fee on online payments, and Meta charges for WhatsApp template messages; those are billed by them at cost. If you use our delivery modules (courier connection or your own riders), they're charged per delivered order.
Yes. Your store runs on your own domain. You buy the domain from any registrar (usually ₹500 to ₹1,500 a year) and we connect it.
Yes. Checkout takes UPI, cards and wallets through your payment gateway, plus cash on delivery. COD orders can be confirmed on WhatsApp before you ship.
