Free to onboard. Paid the day you ship.
Most ONDC enablers charge ₹25,000–₹2,00,000 to get you listed, then a monthly panel fee, then make you wait for delivery and gateway settlement before you see the money. DPanda flips all three: zero onboarding, catalog optimization included, and reimbursement the moment your order ships.
₹0 isn't a trial. It's the model.
DPanda earns when you sell — a thin cut on transactions across the rail, plus the lending and checkout economics behind it. That only works if getting on board is effortless, so free ONDC onboarding is the model here, not a promotion — we removed every fee that sits between a brand and its first order. "Free" here means the setup work other enablers bill you for is work we do because it makes the rail more valuable. New to the network? Our plain-English ONDC guide covers the basics.
Catalogue digitisation
We map your SKUs into ONDC taxonomy and attributes — the exact step CostBo and others charge a one-time setup and training fee for. On us.
Catalog optimization
Titles, imagery and attributes tuned for discovery, plus bounce-rate signals that tell you which SKUs deserve ad spend before you commit budget.
Live in days, not quarters
The SNP registration, taxonomy mapping and fulfilment routing already exist. Most brands go live across buyer apps within about five days of catalogue handoff.
Get paid when you ship — not when it's delivered.
On most marketplaces, your money is locked twice over: once while the parcel is in transit, and again while the payment gateway settles. For a growing brand, that's capital sitting idle for a week or more on every order. DPanda reimburses on shipment confirmation — the moment the courier picks up — so your cash comes back in and funds the next batch of inventory instead of waiting on someone else's cycle.
The usual cycle
Cash locked until delivery & gateway settlement
On DPanda
Reimbursed on shipment — capital freed same cycle
Fewer days of locked capital on every order compounds fast: the faster you recover cash, the more inventory turns you can run on the same working capital — without a loan against your own receivables.
A plugin, not one more panel to run.
Every other enabler onboards you into a separate seller dashboard — a new login, a fresh catalogue to key in, another system to reconcile. DPanda installs onto the store you already operate and syncs from it. Nothing to migrate, nothing new to learn.
Learn a new dashboard
- Separate seller login and portal to manage
- Re-enter or re-upload your catalogue by hand
- KYC, listing and pricing maintained in two places
- Orders reconciled back to your store manually
- Staff trained on a system that isn't your store
Keep working in your store
- One install on Shopify, WooCommerce or Magento
- Catalogue syncs from the store you already run
- No separate panel — toggle services on or off
- Orders route back into your existing fulfilment
- Go live in about a minute, no theme edits
DPanda vs a typical ONDC enabler.
Most seller-onboarding providers on ONDC are registered SNPs that bill for setup and run you through their own panel. Here's the same brand's experience, compared honestly on the things that decide it.

| Catalog optimization | Included, done for you | Paid add-on / DIY | Self-service |
| Seller interface | Your existing store (plugin) | Their dashboard | Their seller panel |
