With Localie you can:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shopping in supermarkets<\/li>\n<li>Order food in restaurants<\/li>\n<li>Order from pharmacies<\/li>\n<li>Buy your next gift<\/li>\n<li>And much more!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>In the Restaurants tab, you can select your favorite establishments and dishes to be picked up, or if the vendor offers delivery, you can wait for it in the comfort of your home or office. In the Stores section, you can find supermarkets, 24-hour pharmacies, liquor stores, and other specialized establishments, such as for the care of your baby.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is that, with Localie, you can order anything you need, wherever you are.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_tta_section][vc_tta_section title=&#8221;What is the difference with our competitors?&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1509215678854-0e6f3a1b-06a52d8b-fdbb&#8221;][vc_column_text]Like those well-known delivery apps, Localie is also a food ordering service.

Registering and gaining access to your online store is completely free of charge, and all features in the eCommerce system are available to you, always free.<\/p>\n<p>Our Localie admin fee is only 3.9% per transaction, that\u2019s way lower than any delivery app out there, which can vary from 20% to 30% depending on the app! Our aim is to allow vendors to present their best and lowest price to our network of buyers and at the same time, give them the opportunity to build their business without the hassle of giving away up to 1\/3 of their revenue. Our focus is to foment the local market with the \u201cBuy Local\u201d initiative, helping businesses to get recognition in their area and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>Localie accepts all kinds of credit card payments through Paypal and Stripe, with many other options coming soon such as Apple Pay, Google Pay, and more. Depending on the selection of the payment processing company the user\/buyer chooses to process their payment with, these companies will apply their own processing fee on the transaction, thus eliminating any third-party fees that your physical store actually has with payment processing companies such as Interact, Square, and others, allowing you to receive your money fast, securely, and directly in your bank account.<\/p>\n<p>So you see, Localie fees are considerably lower than those delivery platforms you are so familiar with.
