In short
Instamojo is listed under Payments & Billing, reviewed for Indian buyers. It costs about ₹417/mo before GST, billed in rupees. It issues an India GST invoice, so you can claim input credit. FindThatSoftware rates it best for freelancers and creators collecting payments; a poor fit for a seller of digital courses or downloads at any volume, because the digital goods rate starts at 10% plus ₹3 per transaction.

What it is, what you gain, what you give up, and who should look elsewhere.
What is Instamojo?
Instamojo helps small Indian businesses, freelancers and creators collect payments via links, sell digital and physical products through a simple online store, and access tools like payment pages and basic shipping. It is built for the long tail of small sellers rather than enterprises.
What you gain, and what you give up.
The case for
- Transaction fees are printed plainly at 5% plus ₹3 on the free and Starter store plans and 2% plus ₹3 once you reach Growth
- GST is called out as extra on the pricing page rather than buried, and store plans carry a 14 day money back guarantee
- The payment gateway is bundled with the store at no separate charge, so there is no second plugin or gateway subscription
The catch
- Digital product sales are charged at 10% plus ₹3 on the lower plans, double the physical goods rate, which is easy to miss
- Reaching the 2% rate means the Growth plan at ₹14,999 a year, so the lower fee only pays back at real volume
- The terms let Instamojo change your commission at its sole discretion and put the burden on you to check the site for revisions
- Merchants must give customers a refund window of at least three business days, and a high dispute rate can trigger suspension or a reserve
Best for
- Freelancers and creators collecting payments
- Small sellers wanting a simple store
- Solopreneurs needing payment links
Who should avoid it
- A seller of digital courses or downloads at any volume, because the digital goods rate starts at 10% plus ₹3 per transaction
- A merchant who needs a fixed contractual rate, since the terms allow the commission to be revised unilaterally at any time
