Get started

  1. Sign up with Google or email/password.
  2. Set your business name (required before first listing).

Ready to list? Jump to “List an item”.

List an item

  1. Add images; contact details are removed from public listings to keep purchases on-platform.
  2. 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

  1. Add items from any vendors; see per-item delivery policy and rates (paid directly to the seller).
  2. Cart and checkout remind you that billing doesn’t happen until payment.
  3. 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

  1. Vendors open the order, set available quantities, and confirm.
  2. 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

  1. Open the transaction; adjust quantities up to the confirmed maximum.
  2. Save adjustments, and proceed to payment; the seller is notified of the changes.

Ready? Continue to “Pay”.

Pay

  1. Go to the Payment screen for the transaction.
  2. Complete the mobile money payment.
  3. Payment success triggers notifications to buyer and seller.
  4. After payment, call and WhatsApp buttons appear on the transaction detail screen.

After paying, schedule delivery/pickup.

Schedule delivery or pickup

  1. Sellers open the transaction and set the scheduled time (default +2 hours).
  2. Buyer receives a notification. Delivery note is optional.
  3. Use the embedded map/deep link to navigate to pickup/delivery points.

On handoff, scan and confirm receipt.

Scan & confirm receipt

  1. Seller or courier shows the QR for each item; buyer scans to confirm receipt.
  2. Confirm quantity received. The app records delivery, updates status, and sends receipts.
  3. Each receipt includes traceable QR metadata for audits.

Next, manage notifications and device updates.

Notifications & devices

  1. In Settings, register the current device for web notifications. Re-register to prune prior devices.
  2. Updates appear in-app and on your device once notifications are enabled.

Next, personalize your experience in Settings.

  1. Change theme (light/dark/system) and accent. Accent choices are currently stored on this device.
  2. Use Settings to manage notifications, device registration, and available app controls.
