Host — the person running a show. Usually the store owner, sometimes somebody on their team.

Store — a seller's shop. Identity-checked before it can take money. Who can open one.

Listing — one item, with its own photographs, description and delivery rules.

Zone — an area a seller delivers to, defined by radius, PIN codes, districts, states, or all of India. More.

Pickup point — a place a seller lets buyers collect from.

Collect-by — how long you have to collect a pickup order once it is ready. 72 hours unless the seller set otherwise. More.

Combining — later wins in the same show shipping with the first, by default with nothing extra to pay.

Balance — a seller's running total between a sale and a payout. What moves it.

Payout — money leaving the balance for a seller's bank, after the item reaches the buyer. When.
