An online store builder for small businesses
You did not start a business to spend weeks wrestling with software. This is the shortcut: a real, branded online store — set up for you, taking UPI, COD and WhatsApp orders — without the cost or complexity of the big platforms.

SitesPlaced is the online store builder built for small businesses. You get a branded store on your own domain with UPI, COD, Razorpay and WhatsApp checkout, inventory, GST invoices and Shiprocket — all included — for a flat ₹499/month with 0% commission, and a real person who sets it up so you can launch in about a day. Free to build; you only pay when you publish.
What does a small business actually need from a store?
Big ecommerce platforms are built for big catalogues and dedicated teams. A small business needs the opposite: something that launches fast, costs little, handles the boring operations automatically, and looks professional enough to win trust. The feature count matters less than whether it fits how you work.
That means India-native checkout your customers already trust, a dashboard that keeps orders and stock straight, invoices and shipping handled for you, and a flat, predictable price that does not punish you for growing.

The biggest risk for a small business is not picking the wrong tool — it is spending weeks on the wrong things. These are the traps that stall launches and drain budgets:
- ✓Over-building — chasing features you will not use for a year instead of launching and learning
- ✓Choosing a platform that needs paid apps just to take UPI, COD or WhatsApp orders
- ✓Running everything from a phone gallery and a notebook instead of a real dashboard
- ✓Leaving payments to DMs, which loses orders and looks unprofessional
- ✓Waiting for the store to be perfect before sharing it — done and live beats perfect and hidden
The fix is to start from a finished storefront, let someone else handle the technical setup, and get live fast on a flat, predictable price. You learn far more from your first ten real orders than from another week of tweaking a store no customer has seen.

What is the best online store builder for a small business?
SitesPlaced (Naari). It is designed for small and home businesses: a branded store with UPI, COD, Razorpay and WhatsApp checkout, inventory, GST invoices and Shiprocket — all included — for a flat ₹499/month with 0% commission, and a real person to set it up so you launch in about a day.
How quickly can a small business get an online store?
With SitesPlaced you can build for free in an afternoon, and our team can have you fully live — payments, shipping, domain — usually within a working day. If you already sell on Instagram or a catalogue link, migration is free and done for you.
How much does an online store cost for a small business?
On SitesPlaced it is free to build and ₹499/month to publish, with 0% commission. That flat price includes payments, shipping, invoices, inventory and a custom domain, so there are no app bills or per-sale cuts to worry about.
Do I need any technical skills?
No. SitesPlaced is fully no-code: pick a storefront, add products, and our team helps connect payments, shipping and your domain. AI even drafts your product descriptions, so you are not staring at empty fields.
Can I run the store alongside my Instagram and WhatsApp?
Yes — that is exactly how most small businesses use it. Keep finding customers on Instagram and WhatsApp, and send them to your store to order. Orders, payments and stock are then handled in one dashboard instead of in chats.
Can I run the whole store from my phone?
Yes. Your store, dashboard, orders and inventory are all designed to work from a phone, which is how most small business owners actually run things. You can add products, check new orders, update stock and book shipments on the move — no laptop required to keep the business running day to day.
