Each one is built for a different starting point. Read these to see who each is for — not which features each has. If you fit Meesho or Shopify, that's the right call. If you don't fit either, Wcommerce is built for you.
अपने लिए सही चुनें.
Made for first-time store owners with no products, no stock, no money to invest. We give you a handmade catalog, hold the stock, ship every order. You build your own brand and keep the customers. ₹0 to start. Up to 40% margin per sale.
Made for wholesalers and small manufacturers who already have machine-made stock to sell. You list your own products, the marketplace brings buyers — but the customer belongs to Meesho, not you.
Made for sellers who already have their own brand, their own products, their own stock, and a monthly budget for the storefront and add-ons. Best for growing a brand you've already started.
The three serve very different people. Quick test:
You don't have your own products, your own stock, or money to invest? Wcommerce. We give you a ready handmade catalog, hold the stock in our warehouse, and ship every order. You build the brand and keep your customers.
You're a wholesaler or small manufacturer with machine-made stock to sell? Meesho. List your products on the marketplace and let buyers find you. The trade-off is that the customer belongs to Meesho.
You already have your own brand, your own products, your own warehouse? Shopify. Pay for the storefront and run it yourself. Best for growing an existing brand.
Most first-time store owners fit Wcommerce — because the other two need things they don't have yet (products, stock, or budget).
It is biased — we built this page. But we've called out where the others fit better.
If you already have your own brand, your own factory, and a marketing budget, Shopify is a better fit than Wcommerce. The table is line-by-line on real, checkable things — pricing, who owns the customer, who ships — so you can verify every claim yourself.
Pricing and feature info is updated regularly from each platform's own pricing page and help articles. Meesho's row reflects their current direct-marketplace model — not the old catalog-share reseller program, which has been discontinued.
If you spot something out of date, write to us through Live Chat on the dashboard and we'll fix it.
Yes. Many store owners run a Wcommerce store for our handmade catalog and a Shopify store for products they source themselves.
You can also download your Wcommerce customer list and run Meta Ads to those same customers, sending them to either store.
Meesho's current model charges a different commission for each product category, plus shipping. The exact rate depends on the product. The bigger trade-off isn't the fee — the customer belongs to Meesho, not you.
When the catalog-share reseller program shut down, lakhs of resellers lost their income overnight because the followers and customers were never theirs to keep.
Fair question — the ownership model is built so you keep what matters: your store URL, your Instagram and WhatsApp followers, your customer list, your Meta Pixel and Google Analytics data, your brand on every invoice and thank-you card.
If we ever changed course, you'd still have everything you built. Apps come and go. Your business shouldn't have to.
3 minutes to set up. ₹0 to start. Nothing to refund. If it's not the right fit, your existing setup stays exactly where it is.
