About Group Buy ‑ Social E‑commerce

Power of social e-commerce for your shop

Group Buy brings the most acclaimed & universally proven social e-commerce feature to your shop. Now in a jiffy, enable customers to buy products together with their friends & family, driving overall orders & customer growth efficiently.

Why Group Buy?

  1. Better than traditional e-commerce marketing

    Traditional e-commerce has relied on marketing to each shopper individually to get sales & growth. This leads to higher acquisition & advertising costs for businesses. With the increasing adoption of social media and instant messaging apps like WhatsApp, every user has the potential to become a promoter, create awareness, and influence other people in their social network.

  2. Customers bring more customers

    Group Buy steers customers to share the group-buy deal in their network to get the discounted price. Such organic invite & product recommendation coming from a friend or family member makes people join in the deal quickly.

Advantages

- Makes shopping a fun social experience for your shoppers

Group buying products online replicates the established offline shopping behavior of people buying things together with their friends & family in stores. Discussing a product on apps like WhatsApp before buying brings a pleasant social angle to online shopping.

- Brings customer trust & store validation

A user knows best about which of their friends are likely to join them for a given store & product based on their interest. For a friend, a direct message personally inviting them & sharing the deal goes a long way in building immediate trust & validation for the product and also the store.

Key Features

  1. Start group buying in 30 seconds

    Get a group buy deal running on any product quickly with a clear & simple form

  2. Customize Deal

    Have complete control on what you offer:

    • Allow between 2 - 6 friends to participate in group buying
    • Set discount amount for the deal - percentage or absolute
    • Adjust duration available for group buy deal

  3. Personalized Group Deal Page

    Every group deal started by a customer gets a landing page with information on people in the deal and the time left for others to join it

  4. Track & Control

    Get performance tracking at the overall level and at each product level. Get complete control over the fulfillment of incomplete group deals

  5. Easy sharing

Hey Über Urban Team,

Thank you for taking the time out to try our app and for giving your feedback. We strive to understand all merchant needs & provide appropriate solutions that can meet the requirement.

We see that you mention a couple of points, and hence, we would like to clarify & explain in detail on them to address the doubts you may have.

If you have further questions regarding the app or even suggestions for additional features/requirements, we are happy to hear them and see how we can make them available for you. Request you to contact us on contact.letsbuytoo@gmail.com

"order is created before only"

Explanation: The purpose of the group buy feature is to give immediate uplift in orders for a product i.e incentivize customers to place their orders quickly to get the group buy price and then invite friends & family members to also buy the same product in a short time. Letting customers (who start the deal) place their order first with Group Buy product is standard practice for all e-commerce websites that have Group Buy feature. It creates an urgency for them to invite others to their deal. Hence, creating the order of the first customer is by design of the app.

If customers are not required to complete their order & the group-buy gets completed then the merchants will have no way to prompt them to complete their payment so that they can process the order. It adds uncertainty that hinges on the customers completing their payment later on.

"no way to track if group plan done"

We would like to disagree here as our app does provide a complete list of group deals that did not complete and have expired. We provide control to merchants to 'Cancel' these orders if they want or else they can still process & fulfill them if they want. We provide the information and you are free to decide what you want to do based on your business needs.

You can find this under 'Reports > Expired Deals' in the app.

Hopefully, the above explanation will help you better understand the app. For any other query, feel free to reach us on contact.letsbuytoo@gmail.com

Thanks,
LetsBuyToo Team
