Launch the pool
The host creates a 30-minute live pool inside a group chat, with a purchase target.
GROUP SHOPPING
Your trusted circle.
A shared shopping goal.
Shopmate’s proposed buying pools bring purchase coordination into group chat. Friends and family work toward a purchase target and share eligible cashback according to their contributions.
BUILT FOR PEOPLE WHO KNOW EACH OTHER
A conversation.
A purchase target.
A 30-minute window.

THE POOL JOURNEY
Six steps. One shared purchase.
Commit a contribution
Members join and commit their share toward the target purchase.
Pay the trusted host
Members transfer their contribution directly to the host via UPI. Shopmate does not receive these funds.
Place the merchant order
When the target is reached, the host places the order and submits its order ID to Shopmate.
Track the purchase
The proposed system links member contributions with the merchant order for tracking and validation.
Share eligible cashback
After merchant validation, cashback is distributed proportionally to each member’s contribution.
MAKE THE SPLIT TANGIBLE
A shared reward.
A proportional split.
Try an illustrative cashback amount for the three-person pool above. The split follows each member’s contribution, rather than dividing equally.
This calculator explains the model; it does not predict or guarantee cashback. Actual amounts depend on merchant eligibility and validation.

TRUST COMES FIRST
Know who you’re pooling with.
The presentation sets clear boundaries for peer-to-peer group purchases.
Trusted groups only
Pool with people you know and trust. Do not send contributions to strangers or untrusted accounts.
No custody of funds
Contributions move directly from members to the host via UPI. Shopmate does not hold or manage pooled money.
A defined platform role
Shopmate facilitates purchase coordination and cashback tracking. Responsibility for peer-to-peer payments remains with the participants.
Report suspicious activity
The proposed protection process suspends reported suspicious accounts for investigation, with restoration after successful re-verification.
