D2C & E-commerce Websites — Fast, Owned, Profitable

D2C brands need e-commerce websites that they own — not Shopify tenancies they rent. Plact builds fast, custom storefronts with full code ownership, Indian payment gateways, and SEO foundations that compound over time.

By Plact
In one sentence
Plact builds custom D2C and e-commerce websites in 10 days from ₹1,50,000. Every storefront includes Razorpay/Cashfree integration with COD support, GST invoice generation, Shiprocket shipping API, WhatsApp cart recovery, and product schema for Google Shopping. No monthly platform fees — full code ownership.

Why D2C brands outgrow Shopify

Shopify costs ₹2,000–₹8,000/month plus 2% transaction fees. At ₹60,000/year in fees alone, a custom storefront often pays for itself in year one — and you own it forever.

  • No monthly platform fee — you own the code
  • Razorpay or Cashfree native integration (better rates than Shopify India)
  • Full SEO control — no Shopify schema limitations
  • Custom checkout flow — reduce abandonment vs. standard templates
  • Product page schema (Google Shopping eligible)

  • Cash on delivery (COD) flow with OTP confirmation
