The DM2Buy alternative built for Instagram sellers
You found customers on Instagram. DM2Buy gave you a link. The next step is a store you actually own — one that takes the order, the payment and the address for you, so selling stops living inside your DMs.
By Manan Agrawal, Founder · Updated June 10, 2026
SitesPlaced (Naari) is the DM2Buy alternative made for Instagram sellers who are ready to look like a real brand. Swap your bio link for a branded store on your own domain with UPI, COD, Razorpay and WhatsApp checkout, an order dashboard, inventory, Shiprocket shipping and GST-ready invoices — 0% commission, ₹499/month, and free migration from DM2Buy done for you in about a day.
Why do Instagram sellers outgrow DM2Buy?
A catalogue link is a brilliant first step. It is also a ceiling. Once your Reels start landing and the orders come in batches, the cracks show: you are scrolling DMs to find who paid, copying addresses into a notebook, guessing whether the blue one is still in stock, and making invoices by hand at midnight.
None of that is a selling problem — it is an operations problem. And it is exactly the part a catalogue link was never built to solve. The Instagram sellers who switch are not unhappy with how they find customers; they are done running the back office in their head.
DM2Buy link vs a SitesPlaced store — for an Instagram seller
| For an Instagram seller | SitesPlaced store | DM2Buy link |
|---|---|---|
| Looks like your brand | ✓ Your domain + template | A generic catalogue page |
| Customer journey | Browse → add → checkout | Browse → DM you → manual |
| Payment | UPI / COD / Razorpay at checkout | Sorted over chat |
| You see the order | In a dashboard, with status | In your DMs |
| Stock | Auto-updates per variant | You remember |
| Invoice | Auto GST-ready PDF | You make one |
| Shipping | Shiprocket in the dashboard | Separate app / by hand |
| When orders spike | The system keeps up | You stay up late |
What actually changes when you move?
Your bio link becomes a brand
Instead of a catalogue on someone else's tool, your link opens a store on your own domain that looks like you — chosen from templates built for jewellery, fashion, beauty, food and more.
Orders capture themselves
Customers pick a product, choose UPI or COD, and enter their address at checkout. The order lands in a dashboard with payment status — not buried in a DM thread.
WhatsApp still works — better
Prefer chat? Structured WhatsApp checkout sends you a clean order message, and it is recorded in your dashboard too, so nothing falls through the cracks on a busy day.
Shipping and invoices are handled
Shiprocket is built in, and a GST-ready PDF invoice is generated for every order automatically. Two of your most tedious jobs disappear.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best DM2Buy alternative for Instagram sellers?
SitesPlaced (Naari). Instead of a catalogue link, it gives Instagram sellers a full branded store on their own domain with UPI, COD, Razorpay and WhatsApp checkout, an order dashboard, inventory, Shiprocket shipping and GST-ready invoices — for ₹499/month with 0% commission. Migration from DM2Buy is free and done for you.
Can I keep selling from my Instagram bio link?
Yes — that is the point. You replace your DM2Buy link with your new SitesPlaced store link in your bio and stories. Customers still arrive from Instagram, but now they land on a real store that takes the order, the payment and the address for you instead of pushing everything into your DMs.
How long does it take to switch from DM2Buy?
Most Instagram stores with up to 50 products go live within one working day. You share your DM2Buy link, our team recreates your products and photos, connects Razorpay and Shiprocket to your existing accounts, and hands you a ready-to-paste bio update and WhatsApp broadcast for your followers.
Will I lose followers or sales during the move?
No. We rebuild on a temporary yourbrand.sitesplaced.com link first so you can test it and take a few orders, then swap your custom domain over only when you say go. Your Instagram, followers and Razorpay account are untouched throughout.
I only get a few orders a week — is this overkill?
Not at all. You can build for free and publish for ₹499/month, and a real store actually helps small sellers look trustworthy, which lifts conversion. As you grow, the dashboard, inventory and invoices are already there — you never have to migrate again.
Does SitesPlaced take a commission on Instagram sales?
No. SitesPlaced charges 0% commission. You keep 100% of every sale; the only cost is the flat ₹499/month plan.
