FAQs
How long does an online store take?
Usually 2–3 weeks, depending on the number of products and features. Product photos and descriptions are often the slowest part.
Should I sell on Amazon/Flipkart or my own website?
Many brands do both: marketplaces for reach, their own store for margin and repeat customers.
