simplestores vs Mystore (Razorpay)

Mystore is great if you only need a payment link with a thin catalogue page. It's free because Razorpay subsidises it from PG margin. The moment you need real merchandising — variants, A/B tests, SEO, abandoned-cart, bookings — you outgrow it.

Common questions

Because Mystore is a payment link with a catalogue, not a store. If you want SEO, custom domain, abandoned-cart, AI content, and a real merchandising surface, you graduate to simplestores. Many merchants run both — Mystore for one-link payments, simplestores for the full storefront.
