Can I use Oorugai for my pickle and podi kitchen?

Yes. Oorugai was designed for a pickle and podi kitchen (food & groceries). Your own name, logo, photos, products and prices replace the demo's, and the menu (Mango pickles, Other pickles, Podis, Combos…) can be renamed.

Bag and checkout with UPI, cards and cash on delivery. Online payments go through your own Razorpay account (UPI, credit and debit cards, EMI, net banking), cash on delivery can be turned on, and a GST invoice is made for every order.

Can I change the colours and fonts of Oorugai?

Yes. Oorugai uses Laila for headings and Be Vietnam Pro for text; on the Pro plan you can set your own brand colour, fonts and button shape on top of it, and preview the result with your own products before publishing.

Does Oorugai work on phones?

Yes. It is built for phones first, with a bottom tab bar, a swipeable gallery and a checkout sized for thumbs, and it loads fast: no page builders, no plugins.

Can I switch from Oorugai to another theme later?

Yes, any time from your dashboard. Your products, orders, pages and customers stay as they are; only the design changes.
