Onboard Your Restaurant For FREE With The Best ONDC Seller App - uEngage 

uEngage Team, 04-Jun-2023

All these years, restaurants struggled to survive in the online food industry as private aggregators regulated the terms and imposed high commissions. But then, a powerful network backed by the Government of India (GoI) appeared, with a keen objective to disrupt the current e-commerce framework and offer restaurants more power than ever. It is none other than ONDC, Open Network for Digital Commerce. 

ONDC aims to broaden the reach of e-commerce to 25% of India’s consumer purchases in the next two years,  which is currently 8%. It is here to make a dent in the whole e-commerce and online food industry. It promises to break digital monopolistic structures and open up new opportunities for micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) to independently join e-commerce marketplaces. It is a non-profit e-commerce network that intends to democratize digital commerce by moving it from a platform-centric model to an open network. 

ONDC went above and beyond to make this initiative a big hit in the e-commerce industry. It is taking the e-commerce industry by storm by eliminating aggregators charging hefty commissions like Zomato & Swiggy, just like UPI did in the payments sector a few years back to lessen the high transaction fees charged by MasterCard and Visa. 

ONDC - A Boon To Your Business

With all the buzz revolving around ONDC, it has become quite obvious that this can bring a new, progressive wave to your e-commerce business.  ONDC approached the up-to-date ecosystem experts and studied the best practices to make advancements in the platform. This is in an effort to establish trust among buyers, sellers, and network participants like buyer apps, seller apps, and payment gateways in a decentralized network. 

ONDC is a positive step towards a non-partial system where both the restaurant and the customer enjoy the benefit. The affordable commission structure of ONDC has brought a win-win situation for both sellers and buyers where sellers list their products at their actual price and buyers get products with less prices as compared to the aggregators. This helps restaurants to build a feasible connection with the end customer.

Low Commissions ↓ Consumer Base ↑

With ONDC, you’ll not only save money on commissions but will also attract a large customer base. How? When you are not on the curb of paying high commissions to private food aggregators like Zomato and Swiggy, you will be able to charge the actual price for your products as in-store prices. This will allow your customers to enjoy lower prices than what they pay on Zomato and Swiggy, resulting in a large pool of customers. 

Buyer Apps Integrated With ONDC

The buyer apps linked with ONDC including Paytm, Pincode by PhonePe, Magicpin, Craftsvilla, Spice Money, Mystore, Meesho, and IDFC Bank act as online storefronts, where sellers can list their product catalog for wider visibility. They equally contributed to this significant transition in the e-commerce landscape. The Buyer Apps make it possible for customers across India to compare the products and prices of different sellers registered on ONDC and make an accurate choice that fits their needs and preferences. Buyer Apps have their own customs charges, like Paytm and Pincode charges 3% and 5% respectively, in addition to GST.
