Solution · Digital Commerce

Own your customer. Stop paying 30% to aggregators.

D2C storefront, checkout, payments, hyperlocal delivery — and the first-party data the aggregators won't give you.

What restaurant + D2C founders tell us

The aggregator squeeze, in five faces.

  • 30% aggregator commissions

    Margin gone before you cook. Pricing wars race to the bottom.

    Margin pain

  • No first-party data

    Aggregator owns the customer. You can't message, segment, or retarget.

    Growth lock-in

  • Brand dilution

    Customer remembers Swiggy, not you. Repeat business goes to the platform, not the kitchen.

    Brand risk

  • Delivery fragmentation

    Third-party riders, no SLA, broken packages, no recourse.

    CX risk

  • Building from scratch is hard

    Shopify + delivery integration + payments + tax = 6 months and 12 vendors.
