simplestores vs Instamojo

Instamojo is a great payment gateway, but the bundled online store is shallow. The 5% + ₹3 transaction fee is double our cost, and the product-page is hard to customise. We give you Instamojo-grade payments via Razorpay + a real storefront.

Common questions

Instamojo's PG is solid, but their store builder isn't. With simplestores you get Razorpay (UPI, cards, netbanking, EMI, wallets) at the same standard PG rate plus a much richer storefront and product page.
