You need surprisingly little to get started — an email or mobile number and a few product details. Everything else, including GSTIN and a custom domain, can be added later. Here’s the full checklist.
The essentials
To create your store and start selling, you only need:
- A work email or mobile number to sign up (verified by OTP).
- Your business name and category.
- At least one product — a photo, a price, and stock count.
- A pickup address so couriers know where to collect parcels.
For taking payments
- A Razorpay account (you can create one during setup).
- Your business PAN and bank account for Razorpay KYC.
For shipping
- A Shiprocket account to connect (Shiprocket routes across multiple couriers).
- Default package weight and dimensions for accurate rates.
Nice to have — add anytime
None of these block your launch. Add them when you’re ready:
- GSTIN — for GST-format invoices and input tax credit.
- A custom domain — or start on a free QuicShop subdomain.
- WhatsApp Business number for order updates and campaigns.

Frequently asked
Do I need a GSTIN to launch?
No. You can launch and start selling without a GSTIN and add it later. Once added, invoices switch to the GST-compliant format automatically.
Do I need my own domain?
No. You can start on a free QuicShop subdomain and connect a custom domain whenever you're ready.
