Discover how SpurtCommerce helps retail and B2B sellers integrate with ONDC using self-hosted, open-source infrastructure with full control over catalogs, payments, and workflows.
India’s digital commerce ecosystem is undergoing a structural shift.
With the rise of Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC), commerce is moving beyond closed marketplaces toward an interoperable, open network model.
For sellers, this creates an opportunity.
But participation alone is not enough.
They need strong, flexible commerce infrastructure behind it.
That is where SpurtCommerce plays a critical role.
The Evolution Toward Open Digital Commerce
Traditional online marketplaces centralized discovery, transactions, and customer relationships within a single platform.
While this provided reach, it often limited:
● Data ownership
● Backend flexibility
● Custom business workflows
● Direct customer control
ONDC introduces a decentralized approach, enabling buyers and sellers to interact across interoperable systems rather than within a single closed ecosystem.
owever, sellers still need a powerful backend system to manage catalogs, orders, payments, and business logic efficiently.
Enabling Retail and B2B Sellers
SpurtCommerce provides self-hosted, open-source commerce infrastructure that allows both Retail and B2B sellers to operate independently while participating in open commerce networks.
The platform enables businesses to:
● Connect Retail and B2B sellers to ONDC
● Publish catalogs to ONDC and their own websites from a single backend
● Manage multi-channel distribution seamlessly
● Maintain full ownership of infrastructure and data
This ensures sellers expand reach without surrendering operational control.
Unified Catalog Management Across Channels
Managing product data across multiple platforms can quickly become complex.
SpurtCommerce centralizes catalog management, allowing sellers to:
● Maintain a single source of truth
● Distribute products across ONDC and owned storefronts
● Ensure pricing consistency
● Reduce duplication and operational overhead
This simplifies multi-channel commerce while maintaining accuracy and control.
Built for Real B2B Commerce
Many platforms focus only on retail workflows.
SpurtCommerce supports advanced B2B operations, including:
● Request for Quotation workflows
● Bulk order processing
● Purchase order based transactions
● Negotiated pricing models
● Credit-based and milestone payment options
These capabilities make it suitable for manufacturers, distributors, wholesalers, and enterprise sellers participating in ONDC.
Flexible Payment Infrastructure
Enterprise commerce often extends beyond online gateway payments.
SpurtCommerce supports:
● NEFT transfers
● Credit terms
● Milestone-based settlements
● Hybrid and offline-friendly payment workflows
This flexibility is essential for B2B transactions and large-value deals.
Self-Hosted and Open-Source Advantage
SpurtCommerce is fully self-hosted and open-source, ensuring:
● Complete data ownership
● No vendor lock-in
● Full source code control
● Customizable workflows
● Infrastructure aligned with business strategy
Sellers retain long-term independence while integrating into open commerce ecosystems.
Beyond Discovery: Building Sustainable Commerce
ONDC enables open discovery.
SpurtCommerce provides the operational engine.
Together, they support a commerce model that prioritizes:
● Seller control
● Interoperability
● Flexible business models
● Infrastructure scalability
As digital commerce becomes increasingly open and interconnected, businesses that own their infrastructure and workflows will be best positioned to grow sustainably.
The future of commerce is not just digital.
It is open, interoperable, and seller-owned.
