How To
Do everything in Perks Purchase
Follow these steps to list, buy, deliver, and manage your preferences. Each section includes “what’s next” guidance for quick navigation.
Get started
- Sign up with Google or email/password.
- Set your business name (required before first listing).
Ready to list? Jump to “List an item”.
List an item
- Add images; contact details are removed from public listings to keep purchases on-platform.
- Choose delivery policy and rates; delivery fees are paid directly to the seller after delivery, not billed by the platform.
After listing, share the item; social previews include image, name, price only.
Cart & checkout
- Add items from any vendors; see per-item delivery policy and rates (paid directly to the seller).
- Cart and checkout remind you that billing doesn’t happen until payment.
- At checkout, Perks creates a transaction per vendor and notifies them. You can still adjust before paying.
Wait for vendor confirmations, then review quantities.
Vendor confirms availability
- Vendors open the order, set available quantities, and confirm.
- Buyers get a web notification when confirmation is done.
If you are the buyer, proceed to “Buyer adjust” to drop/reduce items if needed.
Buyer adjusts quantities
- Open the transaction; adjust quantities up to the confirmed maximum.
- Save adjustments, and proceed to payment; the seller is notified of the changes.
Ready? Continue to “Pay”.
Pay
- Go to the Payment screen for the transaction.
- Complete the mobile money payment.
- Payment success triggers notifications to buyer and seller.
- After payment, call and WhatsApp buttons appear on the transaction detail screen.
After paying, schedule delivery/pickup.
Schedule delivery or pickup
- Sellers open the transaction and set the scheduled time (default +2 hours).
- Buyer receives a notification. Delivery note is optional.
- Use the embedded map/deep link to navigate to pickup/delivery points.
On handoff, scan and confirm receipt.
Scan & confirm receipt
- Seller or courier shows the QR for each item; buyer scans to confirm receipt.
- Confirm quantity received. The app records delivery, updates status, and sends receipts.
- Each receipt includes traceable QR metadata for audits.
Next, manage notifications and device updates.
