Pro tips
You can go from zero to live store in under 30 minutes — just a phone and a WhatsApp chat with Pidi.
Offer both UPI and COD. In Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities, 60-70% of first-time buyers choose cash on delivery.
You do not need a laptop or computer. Everything — store setup, product uploads, order management — works from your phone.
A simple storefront beats no online presence. You do not need a .com domain, a logo designer, or a developer to start selling.
WhatsApp is your best sales channel in India. Share your store link in Status updates — it reaches your entire contact list for free.
Start with 5-10 of your best-selling products, not your entire catalog. A focused store converts better than a cluttered one.
Can I really sell without a website?
Yes. A website and a storefront are different things. A traditional website needs hosting, coding, and maintenance. A storefront is just an online shop page where buyers see your products and check out. Pidi builds your storefront from a WhatsApp chat — no website, no coding, no hosting to manage.
What about Shopify or WooCommerce?
Shopify costs ₹2,000+/month, requires setup, and is designed for markets where credit cards are the norm. WooCommerce needs WordPress hosting and technical knowledge. For Indian sellers starting out, a Pidiga storefront is free to start, built for UPI and COD, and needs zero technical skills.
How do I accept payments without a website?
Your Pidiga storefront has built-in checkout with UPI (Google Pay, PhonePe, Paytm), cards, and cash on delivery. When a buyer taps your product link, they see the price and pay with their preferred method. You can also share UPI payment links directly in WhatsApp chats.
Do I need GST registration to sell online?
No. GST registration is required only when your annual sales cross ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh in some states). You can legally start selling without GST. Register when you approach the threshold — do not let paperwork delay your first sale.
Is this only for small sellers? What if I grow?
Many brands that do crores in revenue started with a simple storefront and WhatsApp. As you grow, you can add a custom domain, connect Instagram and marketplaces, run ads, and scale — all without switching platforms. Start simple, grow into complexity.
What products can I sell this way?
Anything legal that can be shipped or delivered locally — fashion, jewellery, beauty products, home decor, food items, handmade crafts, art, books, electronics accessories, and more. If you currently sell on WhatsApp or in person, you can sell it through your storefront.
