DM2Buy alternative for Indian Instagram sellers.
dm2buy has been unreliable for many Indian sellers in 2026. Your storefront should not be the reason your orders stop. We move your dm2buy store to SitesPlaced in a single day, products, photos, prices and all. You go live on your own domain with Razorpay, Shiprocket and WhatsApp checkout already wired. There is a real person from our team finishing the setup with you. Migration is free on every paid plan.
Why sellers are migrating from dm2buy in 2026.
dm2buy used to be the default storefront for Indian Instagram sellers. In 2026, that changed. The service has been unreliable for many sellers we have spoken to, with storefronts going down at the wrong moments, support replies that take days, and basic features (custom domains, themes, checkout labels) gated behind plans that have themselves moved around.
For a seller running on Instagram, this is not an inconvenience, it is a business risk. The bio link is the only path between a customer scrolling at midnight and an actual order. If that link is broken for 12 hours, the order goes to whoever has a working store.
We hear three reasons most often from sellers asking to switch:
- Reliability. Sellers want a storefront that stays online when they go to sleep and is still online in the morning.
- Ownership. Sellers want their custom domain, their Razorpay payouts, and their customer data on infrastructure they can leave with if they need to. SitesPlaced is built so you are never locked in.
- A real person to talk to. When the storefront breaks, sellers want a phone number, not a ticket queue. Every paid SitesPlaced plan ships with a dedicated WhatsApp POC who stays available until your first order comes in on the new store.
SitesPlaced vs dm2buy, feature by feature.
The honest, line-by-line comparison Instagram sellers ask us for before switching. We mark cases where dm2buy technically supports a feature but with caveats (Pro-plan-only, basic-only, currently broken), so you can make the call on your own.

How we migrate your dm2buy store in one day.
- 01
Send us your dm2buy link
Drop your dm2buy store URL on WhatsApp. You can also share a Google Drive folder of your product photos and a CSV of prices if you have one. We do not need access to your dm2buy account, just the public store link.
- 02
We rebuild your store on SitesPlaced
Our team copies every product (name, photos, variants, prices, shipping settings, COD flags) into a new storefront on SitesPlaced. You see a draft within a few hours and approve or ask for changes. No technical work on your side.
- 03
We connect your domain, Razorpay and Shiprocket
If you already had a custom domain on dm2buy, we transfer the DNS without any downtime. We connect your Razorpay account so payouts continue to your same bank account. Shiprocket auto-creates shipments from day one.
- 04
You go live and tell your customers
Your new store goes live on your own domain, usually within 24 hours. We give you a short message you can copy to your Instagram bio and stories so existing customers know exactly where to order next. Your first new order arrives the same day.
What you keep when you switch.
A migration is only worth doing if nothing important breaks on the other side. Here is exactly what comes with you and stays with you.
Every product
Names, descriptions, variants, photos, prices, shipping settings. Everything that was on dm2buy lands on SitesPlaced.
Your custom domain
If you had yourbrand.com pointed at dm2buy, we transfer it to SitesPlaced with SSL, no email or DNS knowledge needed on your end.
Your Razorpay account
We connect your existing Razorpay merchant ID. Payouts continue to the same bank account, same payout cycle, no re-KYC.
Your Shiprocket setup
Same Shiprocket account, same pickup address, same courier preferences. Auto-label generation works from day one.
Your WhatsApp orders
WhatsApp checkout works the same way: customer taps Buy, your number opens with a prefilled order. Same number you used before.
Your brand and customer trust
Same domain, same photos, same brand voice. Customers will not feel that anything changed except the store works again.
Built for Indian small businesses selling on Instagram and WhatsApp.
SitesPlaced is not built for generic ecommerce in general. It is built for one audience: Indian small business owners selling on Instagram and WhatsApp, usually from a phone, usually a one-person team, usually shipping handmade or short-run products. Every product decision (UPI first, COD baked in, Shiprocket auto-labels, WhatsApp checkout) flows from that audience.
