I sell kidswear, and my products fall under two GST brackets—5% and 12%, depending on the selling price. But Shopify doesn’t seem to let me assign different GST rates to different products properly.
How are other D2C founders managing this? Are you using an app, a custom tax setup, or correcting the invoices manually?

Looking for fabric manufacturers who can make customised yarn dyed fabric in gingham pattern. I stay in Mumbai and any leads would be helpful
I'm a small D2C brand shipping kidswear, and I've noticed a few shipments through Delhivery being billed at 500 g+, even though the packed parcel should weigh considerably less.
I'm curious if this is something other sellers commonly face or if I should be auditing every shipment more closely.
A few questions for those who ship regularly:
Would love to hear your experiences.
Hi Indore!
I know many parents wait for exhibitions to shop for good-quality kids' clothes, so I thought I'd share my small brand here.
We make 100% pure cotton co-ord sets for girls (1–5 years), designed for everyday comfort:
🌼 Soft export-quality cotton
🌼 Mul cotton lining for extra comfort
🌼 Small-batch production
🌼 Made for Indian summers
Special offer :
Buy any 2 or more outfits and get 10% OFF.
Prices start at ₹999.
If you'd like to see the collection, leave a comment or DM me and I'll share the catalogue. Happy to answer any questions about sizing or fabric as well.
Thanks for supporting a small Indian business! ❤️
I have a few toddler co-ord sets left in sizes 1–4 years from our first production run. I'd rather find homes for them through genuine community recommendations than spend more on ads.
If you were in my position, what would you do? Parent groups? Creator gifting? Local communities? Something else that surprised you?
Curious to learn from people who've been through this.
Hi,
I run a kidswear shop on instagram and some of my reels have organically resonated with moms. Would love your feedback on how else can I show my products. My handle is u/lil_juneli

I launched a small kidswear brand a few weeks ago and have been learning everything from scratch.
So far I've spent some money on Meta ads, optimized my website, posted consistently on Instagram, and reached out to friends and family.
Interestingly, most of my orders have come through Instagram and word of mouth rather than ads.
For those running Instagram shops:
What was the first thing that consistently brought you sales?
Would love to hear what's worked for other small brands.

Can someone connect me to manufacturers of organic yarn dyed cotton? I have some designs that I want for my brand. I know few in market who export but I want my own check designs and need a manufacturer. Ready to order in 500 meters/ 1000 meters. Please DM me.
I have just 1 piece left of our premium co-ord set in size 1–2 years.
The fabric is a soft cotton seersucker that's commonly exported from India and used by international kidswear brands like Next. Honestly, it's one of the softest fabrics I've come across, which is why I chose it for my little girls' brand.
If anyone in Nerul, Belapur, Kharghar, or Panvel is looking for a comfortable outfit for their daughter, I can arrange delivery today itself.
Small business owner, trying to get this last piece to a happy home ❤️
DM me if interested.
I launched a small kidswear brand about a month ago and have spent roughly ₹6,000 on Meta ads so far.
The strange part is that people are definitely interested:
The only sales I've made so far have come through:
So now I'm trying to understand where the leak is.
A few possibilities I'm considering:
For those who've built D2C brands, what metrics would you look at first?
I'm happy to share my website and analytics screenshots if anyone is willing to take a look.
Feeling a bit discouraged because I expected at least a couple of purchases after spending on ads, but maybe this is normal in the early days.
Thank you guys, one of the orders is from one of you in this community. Thanks a lot for supporting us. One design is out of stock but more designs are coming in next week :)
Has anyone here ordered labels, hang tags, or polymailers from Cibrandy India / Woven Labels?
I genuinely feel like I'm being scammed at this point. It's been over a month since I placed my order and the only thing I've received is the polymailers. No labels, no hang tags, no clear delivery timeline.
The frustrating part is that my garments are ready, but I can't even list them on Amazon or Myntra without labels. Every time I follow up, I get a different update and still nothing in hand.
Just wanted to check if anyone else has dealt with them before. Is this normal, or have you faced something similar? How long did it eventually take for your order to arrive?
Hi,
I run a d2c brand for kids and right now on shopify. I want to start on Amazon but my labels are stuck witha very unprofessional vendor. Can anyone connect me with a woven labels oersonw ho can urgently take my order?
Thanks

I Started a small D2C kidswear brand recently and would genuinely love some honest feedback from fellow founders here.
We launched a few days ago and started running Meta ads around 2–3 days back. We’re getting some traffic and clicks, but zero conversions so far.
The brand is focused on premium cotton co-ord sets for little girls (1–4 yrs), with a soft, minimal aesthetic.
Would really appreciate if some of you could:
Would genuinely appreciate brutal but constructive feedback from people who’ve built consumer brands before
After months of sourcing fabrics, dealing with production issues, GST paperwork, packaging trials, and constantly second guessing every tiny detail — we finally launched our kidswear brand this week.
We make minimal cotton co-ord sets for little ones aged 1–5 years using pure cotton fabrics lined with soft mul cotton muslin.
We’ve launched with just 5 designs for now and plan to slowly expand collections over time instead of rushing the process.
Would genuinely love feedback from fellow founders here — especially around:
• building trust as a new brand
• getting first few customers
• improving website conversion
• growing organically without heavy ads
Happy to share the website in comments if anyone wants to see it 🤍
After months of sourcing fabrics, production trials, GST paperwork, packaging experiments, and obsessing over tiny details — we finally launched Juneli today.
We create timeless cotton clothing for little ones aged 1–5 years using pure cotton fabrics lined with soft mul cotton muslin.
We’ve launched with 5 designs for now and will slowly keep adding more collections and colours over time 🤍
Would genuinely love feedback from fellow founders, parents, and small business owners.
