Questions and answers

Kreyaa is a free app that shows which shops near you have the item you want in stock, how recently each shop checked, and lets you ask the shop to hold it for you. Shopkeepers list what they sell using the Kreyaa Merchant app. It is opening first in Manipal and Udupi in Karnataka, India.

You search for a product or a shop, or browse the map. Kreyaa lists the nearby shops that have it, with the price, distance and a "Checked 2h ago" label showing when the shop last confirmed its stock. You can ask the shop to hold the item for 1, 3 or 5 hours, then walk in and buy it.

Yes. Shoppers do not pay to browse, search or send hold requests, and you can browse as a guest without creating an account.

No. Kreyaa does not take payments and does not deliver. You visit the shop and pay there, the way you normally would.

Each shop confirms its stock from time to time. The label tells you how long ago that was, so you can judge how much to trust it. A recent check means the shop looked at its shelf recently.

Not until the shop confirms. A hold is a request. The shop can confirm it, and then keeps the item aside for the time you chose, or decline it if it cannot. Kreyaa tells you which happened.

Yes. Search works as you type and corrects common mistakes in product and shop names. For example, typing "Stylle Bazar" finds "Style Bazaar", and Kreyaa tells you it searched for the corrected name.
