Goodbox offers a marketplace app and a partner app that lets local merchants (supermarkets, restaurants, and service providers) create a mobile store in minutes or integrate via APIs. The platform charges merchants about 1,000 rupees (~$16) per year plus a 1.99% transaction fee and supports cash-on-delivery as well as card payments. A distinguishing feature is an in-app messaging experience that lets customers chat with merchants—replicating brick-and-mortar customer service and allowing customizations like checklists or menus. Vendors manage their own orders and deliveries, with an option to sign up for RoadRunner logistics through Goodbox. Since launching earlier in the year, Goodbox has signed up over 1,200 merchants in Bengaluru, serving roughly 30,000 customers and managing orders and inventory through its partner app. The company plans to use its recent funding to improve technology and expand further within Bengaluru before pursuing growth in other Indian cities.
