Step-by-step: How Pinstores works

Here’s a clear 4-step flow showing how Pinstores creates value for customers, shopkeepers, and the local economy.

1

Order Placed on the Pinstores App

Customers browse the Pinstores app or website from home. Using location or pincode-based discovery, they find nearby neighborhood stores they already know and trust.

  • Compare products from nearby sellers
  • Choose from national brands and local products
  • Check prices, availability, and offers
  • Place orders instantly through the app
2

Nearby Shopkeepers Prepare the Order

Once an order is placed, it is routed to the nearest eligible local shopkeeper on Pinstores, who prepares the package for dispatch.

  • Receives the order notification on seller dashboard
  • Picks items directly from store inventory
  • Packs the order carefully and confirms readiness
3

Package Picked Up by Delivery Partner

After packing, a delivery partner is assigned for pickup. Local fulfillment enables faster, more reliable delivery.

  • Collects the package directly from the retail store
  • Ensures secure and timely transit
  • Uses optimized local routes for faster delivery
4

Order Delivered to the Customer

The package reaches the customer’s doorstep. Once received, the transaction is completed—ensuring satisfaction on both sides.

  • Quick local delivery
  • Easy order tracking
  • Transparent pricing
  • Simple refunds and returns (as applicable)
