Sell where buyers already look, then add inventory software: Instamojo or Dukaan for your own shop in India, Etsy for buyers abroad, and Stocksmith (formerly Craftybase) once you need to cost materials. Instamojo's Lite store is Rs 0 a year with a 5% plus Rs 3 fee per sale, Starter Rs 6,999 a year. Dukaan's free plan charges 4.99% an order, capped at Rs 200, and Starter is Rs 1,999 a year. Shopify Basic is Rs 1,499 a month billed yearly, for a maker ready to pay for a brand site. Etsy charges $0.20 a listing and 6.5% of each order. Stocksmith tracks materials and the true cost of each piece from $20 a month on Pro. Handloom weavers and artisans can also sell on India Handmade, the Ministry of Textiles' own store. The rule: start on a free storefront and a record of material costs, and pay for software when you lose track of stock.
