How do I add products with videos?

Open the Seller Studio, tap "Add Product", and record a 10–30 second video of the item on your phone, show the fabric, the fit, the finish, the craftsmanship. Upload the video with a price, a short description, and stock status. You can add unlimited products on both plans. Customers see the real item, not a stock photo, which dramatically reduces "is this what it actually looks like?" WhatsApp messages and return-visit friction.

  • Upload unlimited products (Standard: photos, Premium: photos + videos)
  • Add pricing, descriptions, and inventory status
  • Mark items as in-stock, low-stock, or sold-out
  • AI Product Photoshoot coming soon for professional-quality images

How do customers find my VDOlocal store?

Every VDOlocal store gets a unique, shareable link on the vdolocal.com domain. You share it everywhere your customers already are. WhatsApp groups, Instagram bio, Facebook, your Google Business Profile, or printed on your visiting card. Customers can also discover you passively through the VDOlocal Discover tab, which surfaces stores within a 50km radius of the browsing customer. No customer needs to download an app; your storefront opens in any mobile browser.

  • Share your full store link to showcase your entire collection
  • Share individual product links to highlight specific items
  • Customers can Call, WhatsApp, Buy, Visit to Try, or Keep on Hold
  • Works on any smartphone, no app download required for customers
