01
The creator's own Razorpay
Checkout runs on the creator's account and Razorpay settles to their bank. The platform never touches the money, so it can't hold it.

Creators Store
Keep every rupee.
A store, UPI checkout and instant delivery in one bio link for Indian creators in every niche. Buyers pay straight into the creator's own Razorpay account, so the platform takes 0% commission and never holds the money.

1The problem
Creators who sell on Instagram check UPI screenshots by hand and lose a cut of every sale.

Product, UX and UI, the payments flow and the full stack.
3Outcome
Live on its own domain with 0% commission and 33 automated payment tests. Early stage: no paying customers yet.
01
The problem
Creators who sell on Instagram take orders in DMs and check UPI screenshots by hand.
The tools that fix that take a cut of every sale, or hold the money and pay out later.
Who it's for
Indian influencers and creators in every niche who sell programs, courses, downloads, calls or services to their followers.

Research
Status, honestly
Desk research on how creators sell today and what creator platforms charge. Early stage: no paying customers yet, so no outcome data.
- Compared commission and payout models of creator-commerce tools
- Mapped the DM-and-screenshot selling flow the product replaces

Key decisions
02
Earn from a flat plan, not a cut
0% commission on every plan; the business is a flat subscription. A fee calculator lets creators see the difference on their own numbers.
03
Fulfil only after verification
Orders are delivered only after the payment is verified on the server, with reconciliation for buyers who close the tab before returning.
04
AI only when it's real
The AI tools are built, but until a real model runs them they sit in a clearly labelled preview, not advertised and not in any plan.
Cut from marketing: AI features on sample output

How it evolved
Finding the one thing that's different
Real screens from the project's history, in order.

Challenges
Buyers who close the tab
A payment can succeed after the buyer leaves, so orders are reconciled on load and on a schedule.
AI that isn't real yet
AI tools run on sample output until a model is configured, so they live in a labelled preview, not in any plan.
