1. Choose the right business structure
Before you list your first product, decide whether to operate as a sole proprietor, LLP, or Pvt Ltd. For most new D2C sellers, a sole proprietorship + MSME (Udyam) registration is enough to get started.
2. Register for GST
Mandatory if you plan to sell across states or if your turnover crosses ₹40 lakh (₹20 lakh for services).
3. Open an ONDC seller account
The Open Network for Digital Commerce now has 80+ buyer apps. Pick a seller node like Mystore, eSamudaay, or Digit.
4. Maintain books from Day 1
Use Tally Prime, Zoho Books, or QuickBooks. We recommend monthly bookkeeping with a CA review.
