How does StoreDad compare to Shopify for Indian brands?
Shopify Payments is not available in India, which means Shopify charges you a 2% transaction fee on every
sale when using a third-party payment gateway. Add the USD-priced subscription (~₹2,400+/mo on Basic) and
costly third-party apps for email, analytics, and more — the total cost adds up quickly. StoreDad charges a
flat ₹5 per order (₹3 on Growth), is priced in INR, and includes email marketing and analytics built-in. No
transaction fee. No app sprawl.
Is there really zero commission on sales?
Yes. StoreDad charges 0% commission on your revenue. Instead, we charge a small flat fee per order — ₹5 per
order on the Starter plan and ₹3 per order on the Growth plan. Whether you sell ₹100 or ₹1,00,000 in a day,
we take the same flat fee. Your margins are fully yours.
Why is a flat ₹5 fee better than Shopify's 2% transaction fee?
On a 2% transaction fee, a ₹1,000 order costs you ₹20. A ₹5,000 order costs you ₹100. The more you grow,
the more Shopify takes. With StoreDad's flat ₹5 per order, you pay the same whether the order is ₹500 or
₹50,000 — your growth stays with you.
How does the Cashfree payment integration work?
We've partnered with Cashfree Payments to offer built-in payment collection on StoreDad. You don't need to
apply separately for a payment gateway or wait for approvals — just sign up on StoreDad and you can start
collecting payments immediately. Payouts are credited directly to your bank account the next business day
(T+1).
Do I need my own payment gateway account?
Not on Starter or Growth plans. Our Cashfree partnership means you can collect payments from day one with
no separate PG approval needed. Enterprise plan customers can connect their own payment gateway for full
control and custom settlement terms.
How quickly can I launch my store?
Your store can be live and collecting payments in under 10 minutes. Pick a theme, add your products, and
you're ready to sell — no developer needed. Payment collection is ready from the moment you launch thanks to
our Cashfree integration.
What is the introductory pricing?
Your first month on Starter is just ₹99 (regular price ₹999/mo or ₹10,000/yr). Your first month on Growth
is just ₹249 (regular price ₹2,499/mo or ₹26,400/yr). After the first month, your subscription renews at the
standard price.
Can I use my own domain?
Yes — custom domain connection is included on every plan, including Starter. Your brand, your URL — no
extra charge.
What analytics does StoreDad provide?
We give you the KPIs that actually drive decisions: ROAS, CAC, Customer Lifetime Value, Abandoned Cart
rates, Conversion Metrics, Traffic vs. Sales comparisons, Profit & Loss, and Average Order Value — all
in one dashboard. No third-party analytics app needed.
When is WhatsApp marketing and the affiliate program launching?
These features are actively in development and rolling out soon. You can join our waitlist to be the first
to access them when they go live.
