D2 Commerce OS is a full commerce platform: your store, checkout and payments, plus everything after the order that Shopify and WooCommerce leave to apps and plugins. COD, couriers and your own riders, returns, GST invoices, WhatsApp updates and reports, all on one order record. It's live with D2C brands in India, we set it up for you, and it's free forever up to 100 orders a month.
Shopify and WooCommerce are both good at the storefront. If your store is small and COD is rare, either will do. Once COD, couriers and GST start taking up your week, a platform built around them is the better fit, and that's what this is.

Shopify, WooCommerce and WordPress are trademarks of their owners. Shopify and WooCommerce columns describe a typical Indian setup; your apps and plugins may differ.
When founders compare Shopify and WooCommerce they usually compare the plan price against hosting. That's maybe a third of the real cost. Try this for your own store:

Yes. It runs the full store (catalogue, mobile storefront, checkout, payments) and everything after the order: couriers and own riders, COD tracked to the bank, GST invoices and credit notes, WhatsApp updates and reports. It is live with D2C brands in India today, so it is not a plugin or a pilot.
Shopify is easier to run because it's hosted for you; WooCommerce is cheaper to start and more flexible if you're comfortable with WordPress. Both need extra apps or plugins for COD, Indian couriers, GST invoices and WhatsApp updates, and that's where most of the cost and effort ends up. That gap is why we built a unified platform.
One system that runs the store and everything after the order: delivery, COD collection, GST invoices and credit notes, customer messages and reports. Every part works off the same order, so the numbers agree without anyone matching spreadsheets.

Leave your number and we'll take it from there — your store, your catalogue, your delivery setup, done by our team.
