Best for small Indian sellers starting with a free store
Dukaan is a store builder for Indian sellers with a free plan that takes a 4.99% fee on every order. Paid plans cost ₹2,500 to ₹50,000 a year, and every plan keeps charging a per-order fee, falling to 0.99%.
Who Dukaan is for
- Fits if you sell in rupees and want to start without paying
- Works for sellers who'd rather pay a percentage than a monthly fee
Who Dukaan is not for
- Skip it if you sell outside India or in other currencies, as the fee model suits INR sales
- Tight if you want a custom domain on the free plan: it starts on Starter
- Pricey if sales are large: the fee runs up to ₹200 an order even on paid plans
- Watch out: paid plans have no trial, and payment and shipping providers may charge extra
Why Dukaan gets a 2.6
Five grades, each with its reason. The GPA is their average: an A is 4 points, an F is none.
- BValue for moneyStarter is ₹2,500 a year, far under the category's monthly prices. But every plan also takes an order fee, 3.99% on Starter, so the real cost grows with sales.
- BFree plan and trialThe free plan has 1 store, unlimited products and 7 themes, and one seller could run on it. The cost is a 4.99% fee per order.
- CFeaturesCatalog, checkout, orders, delivery and AI writing tools. A custom domain needs Starter, digital products need Growth and marketplace tools need Infinity.
- CEase of useNo rating on record. You still build the store, pick a theme and connect payments and shipping.
- BPlatforms and integrationsWeb store builder with a REST API and webhooks. No desktop apps listed.

Keep Dukaan, or make your own?
Keep it
To replace Dukaan you would be making checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you. That is not a weekend's work, with an AI app builder or without one.
It is one of the better ones too: its GPA of 2.6 is higher than 74 of the 80 other online store builders we grade. It costs $26.33 a year.
What you could make
- Digital downloads: an app builder makes this well.
What you could not
- Checkout, card payments and sales tax handled for you.
- The WhatsApp Business API, which Meta opens only through approved partners.
- An API that other software can build on.
- AI features, unless you pay a model provider for each request yourself.
What this rests on. Dukaan’s listing: what it does, where it runs, what it plugs into and what it costs. It is a judgement about the kind of software this is. We have not built a replacement for it, and making your own means looking after it too. How we decide, and every tool’s verdict.
What is Dukaan?
Dukaan is a hosted store builder from India. Sellers set up a catalog, checkout, delivery areas and orders from one dashboard, with AI help for product descriptions and images. The Free plan has no subscription but takes a service fee on each order, and paid yearly plans lower that fee.
Worth knowing
- Every plan charges a per-order service fee (4.99% on Free down to 0.99% on Infinity), capped at ₹200 per order.
- Fees do not apply to manual orders or to non-India and non-INR stores, so the model suits Indian-rupee sales.
- Paid plans have no free trial, and payment, shipping and messaging providers may charge separately.
- Prices are shown in Indian rupees; the monthly price behind the Monthly toggle was not readable.
Key features
- Catalog and checkout
- Products with variants and stock levels, CSV import, custom checkout fields, online payments through a supported provider or cash on delivery.
- Orders and delivery
- Manages order status, customer details and invoices, with delivery areas and charges set from the dashboard.
- AI writing and images
- Drafts product descriptions, category suggestions, SEO titles and images; the site says AI usage limits apply.
- Themes and domain
- 7 themes on the Free and Starter plans and 17, including 10 premium, on Growth and Infinity. A custom domain starts on Starter.
- Marketplace tools
- Infinity adds a multi-vendor marketplace with vendor and commission management.
- REST API and webhooks
- A REST API, the same one the dashboard uses, and signed webhooks for order events.
