Starting an online store in India requires registering a business entity, obtaining a GST number, setting up local payment checkouts, and negotiating shipping rates. MakeMyMart simplifies this by integrating direct payment links, local delivery channels (like Shiprocket and Delhivery), and automatic invoice PDF creators.

Step 1: Finalize your product niche. Look at high-demand verticals like Sarees, Organic Foods, or Handmade Jewellery.
Step 2: Apply for a GST registration. It is free and essential for B2B shipping.
Step 3: Setup your digital storefront using MakeMyMart OS. Upload pictures and let the AI assistant auto-write descriptions in Hindi or Marathi.
