What food sellers need from an online store

Local delivery that you control

Fresh food usually goes out the same day, often with your own delivery staff. Riders get a phone app in Hindi or Hinglish with their stops in order and the cash to collect, and you can see where every COD rupee is. Orders outside your area can go by courier.

Only take orders you can deliver

Choose the pincodes you serve. Customers see whether you deliver to them before checkout, so you don't take an order you can't fulfil fresh.

Regulars who come back on their own

Ghee, oils, spices, snacks and staples run out on a rhythm. A WhatsApp reminder around when each customer is due again, with a one-tap reorder, brings back far more orders than broadcasting the same offer to everyone. On the live food brand behind this platform, repeat orders are 25–68% of online orders depending on the category.

Invoices and cash that add up

GST invoices with the right HSN and rate are created with every order, and cash collected by riders is tracked until it reaches your bank.

Questions

Questions from food sellers.

Can I start an online food store for free?

Yes. D2 Commerce OS is free forever while you take 100 orders a month or fewer, and our team sets the store up with you. After that it's ₹10 an order, dropping to ₹8 and ₹6 as you grow.

Do I need an FSSAI licence to sell food online?

Food businesses in India generally need FSSAI registration or a licence, depending on size, and payment gateways and marketplaces may ask for it. Check the requirement for your business on the FSSAI site or with a consultant.

Can I deliver locally with my own delivery staff?

Yes. Local orders can go to your own riders with a simple phone app showing their stops and the COD to collect, and orders outside your area can go by courier.

Can I limit delivery to areas I can reach fresh?

Yes. You choose the pincodes you deliver to, and customers see whether you deliver to them before they reach checkout.

How do I get regular customers to reorder?

Customers get a WhatsApp reminder around when they're likely to run out, with a one-tap reorder. For staples like ghee, oils, spices and snacks this is where most repeat orders come from.

Do I need GST?

It depends on your turnover and what you sell; many food items have specific GST rates and some are exempt. Check with a CA. The store creates GST invoices with the right HSN and rate once you're registered.
