ONDC network vs. ecommerce
| ONDC network | ecommerce | |
|---|---|---|
| Reaching consumers | From any buyer app they use. | Specific to a particular app or platform. |
| Transparency in data | Clear visibility of consumer data, transactions, and commission charges. | No access or less visibility on customer and order transaction details. |
| Payments | Sellers can collect and settle payments based on their own policies. | Ecommerce platforms collect the payment and decide the payout cycle. |
| Delivery management | Sellers can choose the way they want to deliver products. | Dependent on the ecommerce platform and their defined charges. |
| Support | The ONDC network involves a regulatory body for online dispute resolution (ODR), and sellers take primary responsibility for customer service. | The ecommerce platform has the final say in the support structure and how service requests are resolved. |
How the ONDC network works
The ONDC (Open Network for Digital Commerce) network is intended to improve the compatibility of ecommerce platforms. Sellers on the ONDC network can sell their products on the network to buyers from a variety of buyer apps by registering with Gofrugal's seller app.
Technically, by registering with one seller app, you can sell your products on multiple buyer apps, enhancing your store's visibility. The ONDC network ensures that as long as a buyer is a member of the ONDC network, they can freely engage with a variety of platforms without restrictions or constraints and access sellers under each platform to discover and order products.
Note:
The above given process is as per Aug. 2023. This might get changed as the network evolves. Paytm is mentioned as a representation of a buyer app; there could be many such consumer apps in the coming days.

How do I use the ONDC platform?

- The network offers an opportunity to compete with ecommerce platforms with minimum staff, training, and technology.

What is the referral commission if I join the ONDC network?
When you join the ONDC network, the referral commission can vary depending on your role or involvement as a buyer app, seller app, logistics provider, reconciliation service provider, or any other participant within the network.
The specific referral commission rates are not fixed and can change based on the agreements and fee structures in place at the time of onboarding. It is advisable to review the commission structure, terms, and agreements carefully with the respective network participants when you onboard.
