Shopify was built for Western markets. Indian sellers often struggle with USD billing, lack of native UPI support, complex GST rules, and extra transaction fees. Bhaarat Bazaar is built from the ground up for India: billing is in ₹, UPI and COD are native (with 0% transaction fees), and GST invoices are generated automatically.
No. Bhaarat Bazaar charges 0% transaction fees on all plans. You only pay standard payment gateway charges to Razorpay/PhonePe. Shopify charges up to 2% on every sale unless you use Shopify Payments, which is currently unavailable in India.
Yes! You can easily export your products from Shopify as a CSV file and import them directly into your Bhaarat Bazaar dashboard in minutes.
