Operator's note
Most shopifyarticles you find online are written for a US merchant on Stripe. This one is written for an Indian D2C team — where COD still drives 50–70% of orders, UPI Intent settles in seconds, RTO eats margin in Tier 2/3 lanes, and Diwali pulls a quarter's revenue into a two-week window. If a step below references a payment gateway choice, the answer isn't universal: we pick by vendor response rate, not affiliation. Razorpay, PhonePe, Easebuzz and Cashfree Payments are listed alphabetically in our docs because the right one depends on your AOV, your COD ratio, and how fast the gateway's support team replies on a Sunday at 11pm.

Questions Indian D2C teams ask alongside this one
What's the fastest way to get help if a step here breaks for me?
Send the form at the link below — the founder replies within one business day, usually faster. If it's a payment-gateway or shipping issue mid-order, call +91 98666 62226 and we move it to the top of the queue — a stuck checkout is a revenue leak, not a support ticket.
Why does this article reference Shopify instead of generic Shopify documentation?
Generic Shopify docs are excellent for the global merchant. Indian ecommerce runs on different rails — UPI, COD, Shiprocket, GST invoicing, RTO mitigation by pincode — and most of that isn't in the official help centre. Our Knowledge Base is the SOP layer we wrote for our own ops team running 200+ stores; the shopify section is the part of that catalogue most relevant when you're working on what this article covers.
When does this article get updated?
When the underlying tool changes — a Shopify checkout extension schema update, a payment-gateway API revision, a Shiprocket dashboard redesign, a COD app deprecation — the article changes that week, not the next quarter. If you spot something that no longer matches your screen, message us; the article gets re-recorded against the live admin within a day or two.
