Steps
Step 1: Open StoreAO and set your delivery/location area. Click the location row, search your area or place the map pin, confirm the location, and save it with your own name such as Home or Office.
Step 2: Use the search bar for what you need, for example mobile, battery backup fan, grocery, footwear, or a shop name. StoreAO shows products and matching shops based on availability and nearby relevance.
Step 3: Open a product page to check images, price, stock signals, nearby shops, shop distance, and whether online ordering is available from a verified store.
Step 4: If online ordering is enabled, add to cart and place the order. If a shop is discovery-only, use the phone/address details to call or visit the shop directly.
Step 5: Use cart and My Orders to review items, track order status where supported, and return to saved addresses quickly for future searches.

Step 2: To add a product, choose an existing catalog product where possible, or create a custom product. Add product name, category, price, MRP, stock quantity, description, and clear images.
Step 3: To edit a product, open the product row/card and update price, stock, images, description, category, or offer details. Save changes after checking the customer-facing preview.
Step 4: If a product is no longer sold, deactivate/remove it instead of leaving wrong stock online. Keeping stock accurate improves trust and search quality.

Orders section is used to view customer orders, update order status where supported, and coordinate fulfillment. Keep order status updated so customers are not confused.
Other dashboard tools can include stock, suppliers, purchases, POS, categories, and notifications. Use stock for quantity corrections, suppliers/purchases for procurement tracking, POS for in-shop billing, and notifications for new activity.

Video Tutorial
Watch on YouTubeTake a front view for product name and brand, a back view for manufacturer and label details, a specification side, a complete barcode and labelled model-number close-up, and other sides showing size, colour, quantity, ingredients, capacity, or compatibility.
Upload the photos and select Generate product details. StoreAO scans the images, reads visible labels and specifications, verifies barcode and model information, checks the master catalog, and prepares a reviewable draft. The dashboard shows estimated progress while this runs.
Review the generated title, category, brand, identifiers, specifications, confidence, and warnings. Enter the shop selling price and stock, then save. Strong barcode, brand-model, fingerprint, or exact brand-title matches reuse the existing master product instead of creating a duplicate.

Choose the business type that matches how you actually sell: Physical shop with listed products, Physical shop offering custom-made orders, or Online/social seller. You can select it during registration and update it later from Dashboard > Profile Settings > Shop Profile.

Physical retail shops can list products, prices, stock, and delivery details. Eligible physical shops may appear in nearby products, local shop discovery, and local availability results.
Custom-order shops can stay visible as real local businesses even without a fixed catalog. Add your own customer-facing heading and ordering note explaining sizes, designs, quantities, quotation, and completion time.
WhatsApp, Instagram, YouTube, and other online/social sellers can create a shareable StoreAO page, publish product images and prices, and share product links. Online-only sellers are kept separate from nearby physical-shop results and verified local-delivery claims.
For better discovery, use an accurate business name, clear description, specialties, logo, banner, contact details, real product images, current prices, and a precise ordering note. Do not claim a physical storefront or local delivery if the business is online-only.
