Three ways to join India's open commerce network — from a ₹0 aggregator listing to a ₹30L+ custom build. See which one actually fits your business.
List your catalog through an existing ONDC-registered seller platform. Setup in 1–2 weeks, with a 1–4% per-order commission instead of a large upfront cost. Best for small retailers and first-time ONDC sellers who want to test the channel before investing further.
A connector layer maps your existing product and order APIs into ONDC-compliant calls. One-time build cost plus ₹10,000–₹40,000/month platform fee. Takes 4–8 weeks and preserves your existing storefront exactly as it is, adding ONDC as a new sales channel alongside it.
A ground-up implementation of the full Beckn Protocol stack: discovery, order, fulfillment, cancellation, returns, and settlement APIs, plus Network Participant registration. Runs 4–6 months and is built for platforms and retail chains onboarding third-party sellers, not single-seller businesses.
Ask, in order: (1) Are you selling as one business, or onboarding other sellers under your brand? If it's just you, the full custom build is off the table. (2) Do you already have a working e-commerce backend with a product API? If yes, a middleware connector is your fastest path; if no, start with an aggregator listing while you build one out. (3) Does your business need custom fulfillment logic a generic connector can't express — multi-warehouse routing, regulated-category rules, subscription orders? Only then does the six-figure-plus custom build earn its cost.
