Doorstep Courier Pickup
Shiprocket, Bluedart, and Delhivery couriers pick up packages directly from your workshop or home. Shipping labels generate automatically.
29,000+ Pin Codes
Sell to customers anywhere in India — metro cities, tier-2 towns, and remote locations with pre-integrated enterprise logistics.
Live WhatsApp Tracking
Tracking links and live transit milestones are sent automatically to the customer's WhatsApp chat the moment the package ships.
It sells like your best shop assistant.
A basic chatbot answers the question it was asked and stops. A great shop assistant reads what the customer actually wants, suggests what pairs best, and asks for the order at the perfect moment. That is what stands in your WhatsApp store 24/7.
It knows exactly what pairs with what
When someone orders the olive tee, the agent suggests the stone chinos that 9 out of 10 buyers took with it, bundled with an irresistible ₹300 incentive. Not a robotic product dump. The exact match offered after commitment — when upsells actually convert.
It answers like your best employee
Fabric GSM, fit, what to size up for, washing care, and delivery to tier-2 cities. Product knowledge turns “let me think about it” into an instant sale, without you typing at 11 PM.
“Still thinking it over? Your cart is saved right where you left it.”
21:40Never lets carts go cold
If a buyer pauses halfway through checkout, it follows up once, politely, with their cart ready to pay. No coupon spam, no relentless reminders. Just helpful assistance.
WhatsApp at the core.
Conversations everywhere.
Start with WhatsApp and naturally extend to every channel your customers love. Manage Instagram, Facebook, Messenger, calls and ad leads from one unified inbox.

What it actually costs to run.
Fees are the easy part to compare. But running an ecommerce website or marketplace piles on software apps, WhatsApp API costs, return losses, and support staff payroll. INQbox replaces all of that with 24/7 AI. Move the sliders to see your net savings.
Adjust Your Store MetricsInteractive
Set your hourly value to ₹0 if you only want to compare direct cash software expenses.
Costs ₹4,602 a month. 24/7 AI handles all sales, queries, COD verification and courier booking. 0 added staff needed.
Costs ₹20,160 a month plus about 3 hours of your time (₹900 at your rate). You never own the customer relationship.
Costs ₹19,457 a month plus about 12 hours of your time (₹3,600 at your rate). Apps, WhatsApp CRM, support staff, RTO courier loss & gateway.
That’s ₹16,458 extra cash in your bank every single month.
More money saved in your business than selling on marketplaces or dealing with website app sprawl (with zero staff to hire, zero app subscriptions, and zero lost weekends).
See the math and assumptions behind this comparison+
Marketplace commissions run 25% to 35% by category (averaging 28% once closing fees, listing fees, and returns are included). For your own website, fixed running expenses include the ecommerce store plan (₹2,499/mo with taxes, scaling with volume), essential apps like reviews, upsell, and COD OTP (₹2,500+/mo), WhatsApp API platforms like Interakt/WATI with Meta conversation fees (₹2,000+/mo), payment gateway fees (2% + GST), plus unverified COD RTO courier losses (~5% of orders at ₹180 forward+reverse). Crucially, running a website requires hiring customer support staff or virtual assistants (₹8,000 to ₹42,000+/mo) to answer sizing questions, DMs, verify COD addresses, and chase courier NDRs. In contrast, INQbox’s AI sales agent handles 100% of customer conversations, recommendations, COD confirmation, and courier booking 24/7 with zero added staff or software subscriptions.

The things sellers actually ask us.
Not the marketing questions that make us look good. The hard commercial realities that come up on every single onboarding call.
When do I get my money?
Payment clears through PayU at checkout. Your settlement lands on a fixed cycle after the order ships, minus the 5% + ₹5 + GST. You see every pending and settled payout in your dashboard, per order, with nothing to reconcile by hand.
Do you take COD?
Yes. UPI, cards, netbanking, wallets and cash on delivery, all of it. Your buyer picks whatever they are comfortable with inside the chat, which matters in India where a first-time buyer often will not prepay to a brand they have just found.
Will it really sell more than my website?
A website waits. The agent works: it answers the moment someone asks, knows your whole range, and offers the thing that pairs with what they picked. It only ever speaks about products, prices and policies you have loaded, and you can read every conversation in your dashboard and step into any chat yourself whenever you want.
Two people order my last piece
Stock decrements the moment a payment succeeds, not when the chat starts. The second buyer is told it just sold, offered the closest thing you have, and asked whether to notify them when it is back. You are not the one sending the apology.
Returns and complaints
The AI takes the message, logs it against the order and routes it to you with the full history attached. It will not approve a refund on your behalf. Money decisions stay yours, because a bot issuing refunds is how a good month turns bad.
What if I want to leave?
Export your customers, orders and history and go. No notice period, no lock-in, no fee for leaving, no clause that keeps your contact list here. If we have to trap you to keep you, we have not built anything worth staying for.
What if the AI gives the wrong price?
It cannot. Unlike unconstrained chat models that hallucinate, INQbox is an execution engine hard-locked to your verified catalog. It only quotes prices and bundle discounts you have explicitly loaded, and only sells stock that is physically available. If a customer asks a complex bespoke question, it immediately alerts your personal WhatsApp.
Can customers trick it with fake UPI screenshots?
No. Traditional sellers lose money every week to edited payment screenshots. INQbox never relies on screenshots: orders are confirmed only when your payment gateway returns a real-time banking webhook confirming real money landed in your account.
Your customers. Your data.
Your brand.
The difference shows up on the day you want to sell to the same person a second time. Compare how each channel protects your margins, customer data, and long-term business value.

Co-founder, INQboxI’ve built businesses in India for twelve years. I got tired of watching good small brands hand their customers to marketplaces and their weekends to DM chaos. INQbox is the chat store I wanted and could never buy. If you join now you are dealing with me and the founding team directly, not a support desk.
Read before you decide.
Stop losing orders in your DMs.
INQbox takes the chats, the payments and the shipping. You keep the brand, the customer list and the margins.
