· Govt. of India · Min. of CommerceOnboard your shop to ONDC in 10 minutes. Receive orders from Paytm, PhonePe, Magicpin and 50+ buyer apps. No monthly fee — just 2% on delivered orders. Made in India.
Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC) is the Government of India initiative that turns digital commerce into a public network — like UPI did for payments. Sellers list once. Every buyer app on the network can show your products.
Kaarobari is a registered Network Participant on ONDC. Specifically: a Seller Network Participant operating as a Multi-Seller Network on Retail (RET10). Your shop sits inside Kaarobari; Kaarobari sits inside ONDC; the whole open network sits in front of every buyer app in India.
You do not have to learn ONDC. You list with Kaarobari. We handle the protocol — every signed message, every callback, every grievance — silently in the background.
Same flow, every order. Buyer doesn't care which app. You don't see ONDC's plumbing. Open and silent — that is the design.
These are public ONDC numbers — citable and growing every quarter. The opportunity is real and open to every MSME. Kaarobari just makes the joining quick.

Now you're live on ONDC
Going online for the first time is hard for any small business — anywhere in the world. We talked to MSMEs across India and four worries kept coming up. Here is each one, in the seller's own words, and how Kaarobari + ONDC together solve it.
★ From conversations with kirana, handicraft, and food MSMEs across Maharashtra, 2026
— Common MSME concern — CMR India
On ONDC the buyer app holds the money for a short period, then it comes to us and we pay it into your bank account. Right now we check and release every payout by hand, so you always know who to ask. Faster automatic payouts are the next step.
— Field report on MSME e-commerce adoption
You choose, order by order: deliver it yourself, or let a delivery company on the ONDC network send a rider. Either way the tracking number reaches the buyer automatically — you do not have to set up a courier account first.
— First-time seller interviews, 2026
Kaarobari hides every protocol detail behind a 10-minute mobile + OTP signup. Hindi support, GST + Udyam upload guided step-by-step, WhatsApp helpline if you are stuck. ONDC is the open road. We are the friendly on-ramp.
— Common MSME concern across e-commerce
ONDC has a built-in complaint system where every step is visible to you, the buyer, and the buyer app together. Kaarobari is one of the few seller platforms in India certified on all six of its complaint flows. Disputes get answered, not lost.
No subscription, no listing fee, no setup cost. Just a 2% success fee on delivered orders — the lowest in the market (others charge 3–5%). The tiers below set expectations as your business scales.

Most shop owners have heard these. The open network was built to break every one of them.
Online selling is only for big brands.
ONDC was built by the Government of India exactly so a single kirana or karigar can stand next to big brands — same network, same buyers, equal terms.
I will need a separate account on every app.
One catalog on ONDC shows on every buyer app on the network. No per-app accounts, no per-app fees, no fighting for visibility on each one.
Commission will eat my profit.
There is no 8–25% marketplace commission here. On the open network the buyer app charges 2–4%, and Kaarobari charges 2% — only when an order is delivered.
This must be very technical.
The protocol is our job, not yours. For you it is a simple dashboard — add products, accept orders, get paid. It works from your phone.

★ Tribal handicraftWayanad, Kerala
“Pehle gaon mein bechte the. Ab Mumbai mein bechte hain.”
I grew up watching small shops do extraordinary work without ever showing up on the internet. A weaver in Yeola, a brass smith in Moradabad, a leather artisan in Kolhapur — each one running a real business, each one invisible to anyone outside their pincode.
Kaarobari is the bridge. ONDC is the rails the government built. We just made the on-ramp friendly enough that any kaarobari, in any language, with any size of shop, can be live in 10 minutes. We keep it simple and honest: no monthly fee, just 2% when an order is delivered — you earn first, we earn after.
If we get it right, your shop reaches all of India. That is the whole job.
