With more options to choose from, you are more likely to find the exact product from the exact brand you’re looking for.

Then, all local suppliers/grocery outlets selling Basmati rice will be displayed on the result page along with their prices. Buyers can then choose which merchant to buy rice from based on price and delivery estimates. With the Mystore buyer app, you can avoid overpaying for every single order.

Keep your eyes peeled for new deals/discounts/reward points

ONDC network’s ever-growing popularity means that new entrants are routinely serving best-for-buck deals to attract new buyers. As an avid shopper, this is the best time to snag a product on sale. Since the merchants won’t go out of their way to announce new deals, it’s up to the buyers to keep their eyes peeled for the best prices, and they can do that with Mystore - a first-rate multilingual buyer app for ONDC network.

To stay on top of the latest deals+discounts, use the Mystore buyer app, where you can view the best prices from your favorite brands and make the most cost-savvy purchase possible.

Pro-tip: If there’s a product you love but would like a cheaper offer, simply add it to your Wishlist on the Mystore app. Then, check your Wishlist regularly and make the purchase when the prices drop :).

Learn more about the product/seller

It helps to know the seller and the products they’re offering when looking to buy from ONDC network. For instance, when browsing through the different seller options in your Mystore buyer app, you can view the product and vendor details on the product page.

On the “vendor page”, buyers can also find information pertaining to refund policies, product disclaimers, warranties, seller reviews, etc.
