When AppShakti is the right choice
- Your customers already WhatsApp you, and you want them to see your items and prices before they ask
- You don't have a computer, or you'd rather set it up in Hindi, Bengali, Marathi, Tamil, Telugu or Kannada
- You don't want to pay a commission on orders
When another builder may suit you better
- You want to design every pixel yourself — a drag-and-drop builder like Wix gives more control
- You sell mainly to buyers across India with a large catalog and cart checkout — a store builder like Dukaan is made for that
- You only need a simple information page and already use Google tools — Google Sites
