Shopify is a great place to start a store. As Indian D2C brands grow, cash on delivery, courier returns, GST invoices, WhatsApp updates and reports each bring another app and another bill. D2 Commerce OS runs the store and everything after the order on one platform — set up free, fully managed.
In India, most of the work — and most of the cost — happens after checkout. A typical growing Shopify store in India ends up with:
Each app has its own monthly fee and its own idea of what an order is. When a COD order is returned, someone has to fix the invoice, the stock, the courier claim and the revenue report by hand. That is the gap D2 Commerce OS closes.
| Shopify + Indian apps | D2 Commerce OS | |
|---|---|---|
| Storefront & checkout | Themes and checkout; COD confirmation usually via an app | Fast mobile store, four-field checkout, COD built in |
| Cash on delivery | COD collected by the courier; remittances matched in spreadsheets | Every rupee tracked — collected, remitted, banked — with shortfalls flagged the same day |
| Shipping & delivery | Shipping aggregator app; own riders managed on WhatsApp | Couriers and your own riders in one console, with a Hindi/Hinglish rider app |
| Failed deliveries / RTO | Depends on the courier and the checkout app | Address and pincode checks before dispatch; failed attempts flagged the same day |
| GST invoices | Separate GST app | HSN, place of supply, numbering per financial year; credit notes raised automatically |
| WhatsApp updates | Separate WhatsApp app | Confirmed, dispatched, out for delivery, delivered — built in |
| Repeat orders | Loyalty / reminder app | Reminders timed to when each customer runs out; one-tap reorder |
| Reports | Each app reports its own slice | Sales, delivery, COD and GST on one set of numbers |
| Pricing | Monthly plan + transaction fees + each app's fee | ₹0 up to 100 orders/month, then ₹6–₹10 per order. All modules included |
| Setup & upkeep | You or a freelancer install and maintain apps | We set it up, host it and keep it updated — free setup |
