Don’t Have GST? No Worries – Start Selling Online Easily with chotu

Introduction

Are you a local seller, home business owner, or shopkeeper who wants to sell online but doesn’t have a GST number? Don’t worry! You’re not alone. Thousands of small businesses in India hesitate to start selling online because they think “GST is mandatory.”

Here’s the good news – with chotu, you can start your online store even without GST and reach local customers through WhatsApp, social media, and nearby searches.

Why Sellers Think GST Is a Must

When sellers hear about “online business,” they imagine complicated paperwork, GST registration, and long waiting times. Platforms like Amazon and Flipkart usually ask for GST details upfront, which can be confusing for small businesses like:

• Home-based food makers
  
• Kirana shops
  
• Sweet shops
  
• Tailors
  
• Pickle or spice sellers
  

For such sellers, getting a GST number may not be practical right away – especially if your business is small or local.

How chotu Makes It Simple

chotu is built exactly for small businesses like yours.
You can create your online store in seconds – no coding, no GST barrier, no stress.

Here’s how it works:

1. Create your chotu store – use your shop name and WhatsApp number.
   
2. Add your products – like food items, pickles, kirana goods, or local snacks.
   
3. Share your store link on WhatsApp and social media.
   
4. Start getting local orders instantly.
   

Yes – even if you don’t have a GST number yet!

When Do You Actually Need GST?

If your annual sales cross ₹40 lakhs (₹20 lakhs for services), or you want to ship across states, you’ll need to register for GST.
Until then, you can legally sell locally without GST – especially if you’re offering small-scale goods, home foods, or local essentials.

chotu helps you stay compliant – and once your business grows, our team can guide you in applying for GST when needed.
