eCommerce

Most eCommerce advice is written for a market that takes card payments, ships next day and rarely sees a return. India is not that market. The writing here starts from what actually happens: a large share of orders arriving cash on delivery, UPI changing the maths on an abandoned cart, and returns that eat a category's margin before anyone notices. Alongside that sit the platform decisions every growing brand faces once — Shopify Plus or a custom build, when headless commerce earns its cost and when it is an expensive mistake, and what it really takes to leave a marketplace and own the customer relationship. Written for founders and operators who have to live with the decision afterwards.
