A real online store, not a template storefront
Dukaan was great when Instagram sellers needed a link-in-bio store. Once you grow, the template ceiling gets low fast. OrderLyne gives you 15 niche themes, a proper catalog, WhatsApp automation, and your own courier accounts — at similar pricing.
- 15 niche-tuned themes vs Dukaan's generic templates
- Your own WhatsApp Business API — no per-message markup
- Ship with your own courier accounts (Delhivery, DTDC, Blue Dart)
- Product reviews, abandoned cart, advanced discounts — all built in
Free plan available · No credit card required · Works with existing Dukaan data

Questions
About switching from Dukaan
Two common reasons: (1) your store looks like every other Dukaan store — niche-tuned themes differentiate you; (2) you're paying for a WhatsApp tool separately when OrderLyne includes it, and paying Dukaan's aggregator shipping when you could be shipping at your own negotiated rates. If neither of those applies, honestly — stay on Dukaan.
Yes. You own your domain, not Dukaan. Update your DNS to point at OrderLyne, free SSL auto-provisions, and you keep the same URL.
Yes. Dukaan has templates with limited customisation. OrderLyne has 15 niche-shaped themes (skincare, jewellery, bridal, home bakers, etc.) with a live editor that lets you reorder sections, change copy, colours, and fonts — all while seeing desktop and mobile previews.
We set up 301 redirects from your old Dukaan product URLs to the new ones. Because most Dukaan stores rank mostly on brand name (not high-traffic keywords yet), the impact is usually neutral or positive — OrderLyne pages have better schema markup and page speed.
We ship new features weekly. Our priority is what D2C merchants actually ask for — WhatsApp flows, courier integrations, GSTR1, better themes — not adding breadth for the sake of it.
Yes. Every store gets a branded subdomain (yourstore.orderlyne.in) to put in bio instantly, and you can upgrade to your own domain (yourbrand.com) on Social Growth plan and above.
