    Work Active, Completed, and Cancelled tabs, including a focused incoming-orders list.

  • Status flow

    Move Placed to Confirmed, Processing, Ready, then Picked up or Delivered.

  • 7-day free trial

    Full vendor dashboard and up to 30 products with no payment required to start.

    Choose monthly or yearly in the app after the trial. Starter starts at ₹99 per month.

No. One VoLoMart app serves both roles. Sign up as a customer to shop nearby, or sign up as a vendor (or convert from a customer account) to run your shop.

What can customers do in the VoLoMart app?

Customers discover nearby shops across Daily Essentials, Fresh, Snacks & Sweets, and Featured Store, build a one-shop cart, checkout with delivery charges shown first, track My Orders, and use chat, offers, and khata where the shop enables them.

What can vendors do in the VoLoMart app?

Vendors onboard in the mobile app, set a 1–3 km service area, publish a catalogue, fulfil pickup or delivery, manage khata, invite customers with QR and link, run ads, and stay live on a subscription after a 7-day free trial.

Does VoLoMart charge commission on orders?

Vendors register free and get a 7-day trial. After the trial, shops stay live with a monthly or yearly subscription. VoLoMart does not charge a commission on order value.

How do customers pay?
