Simple order management, start to finish
Every order follows a clear flow you control. From the moment a customer places an order to the moment it is delivered, the LD Vendor app keeps you in charge.
View the full order details, customer address and charges, then swipe to start preparing.
Mark the order as ready when it is packed so the rider knows it can be collected.
The rider collects the order, delivery is confirmed, and your earnings update in the wallet.
Home Delivery vs Store Managed Delivery
A simple guide for setting up each vendor type correctly in LocalDesi. This helps vendors understand when LocalDesi drivers will receive the job, when the store handles its own delivery, and when pickup or parcel flow applies.

|---|---|---|---|
| Grocery store using LocalDesi drivers | ON | OFF | Orders go through LocalDesi delivery drivers. |
| Restaurant using LocalDesi drivers | ON | OFF | Store prepares the order, then a LocalDesi driver delivers. |
| Tiffin / home food using LocalDesi drivers | ON | OFF | Vendor prepares meals, LocalDesi handles delivery. |
| Bazaar store using LocalDesi drivers | ON | OFF | Fashion, gifts, pooja items, jewellery and other bazaar products are delivered by LocalDesi drivers. |
| Vendor doing their own delivery | ON | ON | Customer can choose delivery, but the store handles it themselves. LocalDesi drivers won’t receive the job. |
| Pickup only store | OFF | OFF | No delivery option. Customer collects from store. |
