If you have ever looked into selling online, you have probably been put off by the costs. Shopify starts at over ₹2,000 per month. Dukaan charges yearly plans. Marketplaces like Amazon take 10-30% of every sale. For a small business just starting out, these numbers feel like a wall.
oBizee works differently. There is no monthly subscription. You pay 1% per successful order, capped at ₹10. And you pay nothing at all until your store has taken ₹50,000 in orders.
How the 1% Model Works
The cap is the key. The more your business grows and the higher your order values, the less you pay as a percentage.
Real Cost Comparison: oBizee vs Others
Numbers speak louder than marketing claims. Here is what you would actually pay per month:
| Scenario | oBizee | Shopify | Dukaan |
|---|---|---|---|
| 50 orders/month (avg ₹500) | ₹250 | ₹2,000+ | ₹417 + fees |
| 100 orders/month (avg ₹500) | ₹500 | ₹2,000+ | ₹417 + fees |
| 200 orders/month (avg ₹1,000) | ₹2,000 | ₹2,000 + 2% fees | ₹833 + fees |
| 500 orders/month (avg ₹2,000) | ₹5,000 | ₹2,000 + ₹20,000+ | Higher tier + fees |
Why the ₹10 Cap Matters for High-Value Sellers
Consider a boutique seller whose average order is ₹3,000. Without the cap: ₹30/order. With oBizee's cap: ₹10/order.
Why No Subscription Helps Small Businesses
A monthly subscription is a fixed cost you pay regardless of sales. Spending ₹2,000/month on Shopify while making only ₹5,000 in revenue means 40% goes to your platform — before product costs and shipping.
With oBizee, costs are tied to revenue. Slow month with 10 orders? You pay ₹30. Great month with 200 orders? You pay more — but only because you earned more. This removes the financial pressure that kills many small businesses.
vs Food Delivery Platforms (Swiggy/Zomato)
If you already have customers via Instagram, WhatsApp, or word of mouth, there is no reason to give away 25% of your revenue.
What You Get for That 1%
On other platforms, several of these features cost extra. On oBizee, everything is built in.
The Bottom Line
Pricing should not be the reason a small business cannot go online. A crochet artist selling earrings for ₹300 should not pay ₹2,000/month for a store. A home baker doing 30 orders a month should not give 25% to an aggregator.
oBizee's 1% model with the ₹10 cap solves this directly. It is the most affordable way to run an online store in India.
