Live on Indus Appstore
Xamip shows the deals running in shops within walking distance, as they go live.
Plenty of small shops have no website, no listing anyone maintains, and no way to tell the street that today they have cut prices. The stock is on the shelf and the discount is real. It just is not anywhere a phone can see it.
So the offer reaches whoever happens to walk past, and nobody else. That is the gap Xamip exists to close: a place where a shop can say what it has on today, and where someone standing two streets away can read it.
How a review works
On most review sites anyone with an account can rate a business they have never seen. Xamip confirms the visit first. That one rule is the whole mechanism.
The app notices you are within 50 metres of a registered shop and that you have stayed for at least five minutes. Opening the app near a shop is not enough, and neither is walking past it.
Long enough after the visit that you have finished shopping and know what you think. The prompt goes only to people whose visit was actually recorded, so there is nobody else to ask.
Every review on Xamip is attached to one confirmed visit, and each visit allows one review.
How close you have to be to a shop before a visit can register at all.
Walking past does not count. The app looks for a real stop, not a passing signal.
Long enough afterwards that you have finished shopping and know what you think.
One app finds what is worth walking to. The other puts a shop on the map. Both are live on Indus Appstore.
For shoppers
Find what is discounted near you today, in shops you can walk to.
For shops
Put your shop and today's prices in front of people already nearby.
Every offer carries its own start and end date. Xamip moves it through three states on those dates, so a discount that finished on Sunday is not still being advertised on Wednesday.
Upcoming
A shop can write an offer now and give it a start date. Until that date arrives it is not live and nobody is shown it.
Active
On its start date the offer goes live and appears to people close to the shop. Anyone following that shop who has allowed notifications hears about it.
Expired
When the end date passes the offer stops being live without the owner having to remember. No manual tidying, and nothing stale left in the feed.
For shop owners
A lot of shops have no GST number and never will. That is not a reason to be invisible, so there are two ways to get verified and both of them end with the same listing.
If you have business documents
Register the shop with its GSTIN and PAN and the details go in with your listing.
If you have neither
Submit your Aadhaar and phone number with a photo of yourself, a photo of the shop, a selfie at the shop and a signed declaration. Someone at Xamip reviews it and activates the shop or comes back to you with a reason.
Mark the shop movable if you trade from a cart, stall or van rather than a fixed address.
One switch takes the shop in and out of the feed, so nobody walks over to a shutter.
Xamip does not take payments or handle your orders, so there is nothing for it to take a cut of.
Set a discount, the terms and an end date. The offer retires itself when that date passes.
Listing a shop and publishing offers cost nothing. Spotlight, which promotes your shop or a specific offer to a wider area, is a separate paid service, priced per campaign.
Details for ownersIt is easy to assume a new app is a version of one you already use. Four things Xamip deliberately does not do.
Both apps are live. Get Xamip to see what is on sale near you, or Xamip Business to put your shop in front of people nearby.
