Built Different, On Purpose.
Not a feature-count war. Here's exactly where we're ahead for an Indian D2C merchant, and where the two are neck and neck — no inflated lists.
Where Vilva D2C leads
Shopify built for global commerce first. We built for how India actually pays, ships, and messages customers — from day one.
Deeper local payment rails
Razorpay, PhonePe, Instamojo, and Stripe are all wired in — coverage most global platforms don't fully match in India.
Partial COD, built in
A customer can pay part online and settle the rest on delivery. Not a concept most payment gateways support at all.
GST and e-invoicing, native
CGST and SGST are fields on every order line, not a bolt-on app — and invoices sync straight to Zoho Books.
Shiprocket, out of the box
No separate courier account or app install. Labels and live tracking are wired straight into the dashboard.
WhatsApp is part of the stack
Order confirmations, shipping updates, and cart nudges go out over WhatsApp natively — a channel most platforms don't offer at all.
An AI-agent connector per store
Every store runs its own MCP connector, so tools like Claude can query store data directly. AI-drafted marketing copy ships with it.
