Why Join Local Point? Merchant Onboarding Process and FAQ

Which merchants is Local Point right for?

As long as your service can be searched, booked, or fulfilled in store within a region, it’s a good fit: restaurants, drinks, street food, massage, hair salons, laundry, guesthouses, convenience services, and more. The platform’s goal is to let consumers find “every industry” of local options from a single entry point, rather than serving just one vertical category.

What you get after onboarding

In the first phase, we also welcome small shops to contact us directly, and the team will help complete the first batch of listings.

• A merchant page and product / service listing
• Booking, pickup, or on-site consumption modes set by category
• Order and review management (merchant back office)
• Reach beta and web version users
• Optional promotional plans later (per platform announcements)

Onboarding process (overview)

Detailed fields follow the onboarding form and back office guidance; if information is incomplete, the review may require additional documents.

• Fill in basic info on the “Merchant Registration” page
• Complete identity / shop verification (per platform requirements)
• List products or services and set business info
• Choose fulfillment methods: instant, booking, pickup, etc.
• Start receiving orders and responding to reviews

Frequently asked questions

Here are the points merchants ask about most often:

• Is there a fee? — You can submit the onboarding application first; advanced exposure or subscription plans follow the back office and announcements
• Is cash-only okay? — Yes, and you can also support online pay like ECPay depending on your settings
• I can’t take product photos — you can start with basic images and optimize later
• How long until I’m listed? — Depending on data completeness and the review schedule, we usually respond within a few business days
