Homemade Food and Pickle Ecommerce Platform with Pin-Code Delivery
Sell pickles, spices and specialty foods direct, with weight variants and serviceable pin-code checks.
Krusam PickleCart is a ready-made direct-to-consumer ecommerce platform for homemade pickle makers, spice and masala brands, regional sweets and snacks sellers, home chefs and organic food producers. Customers browse an artisanal catalogue with weight and pack-size variants, apply coupons and pay through Razorpay, with orders restricted to serviceable pin codes or opened to nationwide shipping through Shiprocket and courier APIs. The admin desk manages products, stock, offers, orders, pack slips and customer feedback. Sellers keep their full margin instead of paying aggregator commissions. Complete source code, custom branding and deployment on your own hosting are included for food businesses in India and export markets, with setup estimated at approximately two weeks.

Ways to Buy
Four ways to take Krusam PickleCart to market.
- With source code: delivered with the complete source code for the agreed scope, including frontend, backend, admin dashboard, database schema and any applicable mobile application code. Access, licensing and ownership terms are set out in the purchase or licence agreement so your own team can maintain and extend it.
- Self-hosted: runs on hosting you control, such as your own VPS, cloud account or existing infrastructure. Deployment, database setup and migration assistance are included, and there is no mandatory monthly platform fee on the software. Payment gateways, SMS providers and hosting are billed by those providers directly.
- White-label: use your name, logo, colour scheme, domain and applicable templates, with app-store assets where a mobile application is in scope. A standard branded deployment is estimated at approximately 2 weeks after scope and required assets are confirmed, subject to client approvals, data readiness, third-party dependencies and the written schedule.
- Agencies and resellers: agencies, studios and IT partners can take the product to their own clients under their own brand. Reselling terms, the number of deployments permitted and any ongoing support arrangement are defined in the agreement before the engagement starts.
