The problem this actually solves
Two of them, and the second is the one people underestimate.
Checkout friction. A shopper on a phone, typing a full address into a form, on mobile data, is the single leakiest point in an Indian store. 1-click checkout recognises a returning buyer and fills it in — the difference between an abandoned cart and an order.
Not having a gateway. If Razorpay, PhonePe and Cashfree have all declined you, or your application is still in review, this is a way to take online payments today. Shiprocket collects and settles to you. For a seller stuck at the gateway-approval stage, that is not a convenience feature — it is the difference between having a business and not.
RTO scoring, and why it matters more than it sounds
Return-to-origin is the quiet killer of Indian COD businesses. A refused delivery costs you the outbound courier charge, the return charge, the packaging and the time — on an order you never got paid for. A 20% RTO rate can erase the margin on the 80% that landed.
Shiprocket's checkout scores COD orders for RTO risk and can act on the risky ones. That is not a marginal optimisation; on a store doing mostly COD it is one of the few levers that meaningfully changes profitability.
What it costs, stated plainly
₹499/month Ecommerce plan (early-bird for the first 50 stores; ₹999 after), which also includes a custom domain, branding removal, WhatsApp Business API alerts, Meta Pixel and Conversions API, AI copy and store analytics.
SitesPlaced takes 0% of the order, as always. Shiprocket charges 2% per order for collecting and settling the money. That 2% is Shiprocket's, not ours, and we do not mark it up.
Whether that 2% is worth it is a real question with a real answer: compare it against a payment gateway's own fee plus the orders you lose to checkout friction plus your current RTO cost. On a low-AOV COD store it usually wins. On a high-AOV prepaid store, your own gateway is probably cheaper.
It does not replace your checkout
Sell with Shiprocket sits alongside your normal checkout rather than replacing it. If Shiprocket's checkout cannot start — an outage, a pincode it does not serve — the store falls back to the native form, so an order is never simply lost.
You can also run it at the same time as Razorpay Magic, the other 1-click option, and let buyers pick.
If you do not have the website yet
Everything above assumes you already have a store to put Shiprocket checkout on. If you are still taking orders in DMs, that is the part worth fixing first.
A SitesPlaced store is free to build and publish, with 0% commission on every sale, on every plan — and 21 integrations included rather than sold as add-ons. You can import your catalogue straight from Instagram instead of typing products in one at a time.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need my own payment gateway for Sell with Shiprocket?
No, and that is the point. Shiprocket collects the money and settles it to you, so a seller whose gateway application was declined or is still in review can take online payments today.
What does it cost?
It is on the ₹499/month Ecommerce plan (early-bird for the first 50 stores, ₹999 after). SitesPlaced takes 0% of the order; Shiprocket charges 2% per order for collecting and settling, which is theirs and not marked up by us.
What is RTO scoring and why should I care?
Return-to-origin is when a COD delivery is refused. You pay the outbound courier, the return, the packaging and the time, on an order you were never paid for. Shiprocket scores COD orders for that risk, which on a mostly-COD store is one of the few levers that changes profitability.
Does it replace my normal checkout?
No. It sits alongside it, and if Shiprocket's checkout cannot start the store falls back to the native form so the order is not lost. You can also run Razorpay Magic at the same time.
