The guides

Someone comes. You have nothing to do.

A guide travels to your place, photographs it, puts your shop online — and stays with you until it runs on its own.

His visit is what makes the difference.
We do not open a shop without a place to photograph. An office, a workshop, a yard, a stall: size does not matter.

You have nothing to install and nothing to learn.
You open your shop as usual. The guide does the rest.

What you are probably asking

The questions people ask us before a guide comes.
🤔 “I do not know this person. Do I let them into my place?”
The guide is identified by Yadiyar and you know who is coming before the visit. You agree together on the day and the time — he never turns up unannounced.
In practice
  • We call you first to agree on an appointment.
  • You stay there during the shoot — in fact we prefer it.
  • You decide what gets photographed and what does not: the back room, the store room, documents.
  • If a photo does not suit you, we take it again.

Nothing goes online before you have seen it.

🤔 “Do I have to tidy everything? Do I have to close while it happens?”
No. The shoot happens in your place exactly as it is. You keep serving your customers while it goes on.
What does help anyway
  • Have your goods on display — that is what makes people want to come in.
  • Good light: open what opens, switch on what switches on.
  • The items you want to show off clearly visible.

The guide will tell you on site what will look best. This is not a photo shoot: it is your shop, as it is.

🤔 “And then? He takes his photos and I never see him again?”
The guide does not leave once the photos are taken. He places your items in the tour, checks that it opens properly on an ordinary phone, and stays with you through the first week.
What he does with you
  • He puts your catalogue online with you — not instead of you.
  • He shows you how to share your link with your customers.
  • He helps you with your first customer questions.
  • He shows you how to add or remove a product on your own.

The aim is that you no longer need him after a week.

🤔 “If I change my shop, does it all have to be redone?”
For your products, no: you add them and remove them yourself, whenever you want. If the place itself changes — a new layout, a new shop front — a guide comes back.
What you handle on your own
  • Add, edit or remove an item and its price.
  • Place your products on the tour photos, and move them around.
  • Hide what is no longer available.

The guide takes the photo. You are the one who keeps the shop alive on it.

🤔 “These photos, who owns them?”
The photos taken by the guide stay with Yadiyar, but you hold a free and permanent right of use to show them on your shop — including if you stop paying for the management tools.
And your own photos?

The photos you take and publish yourself — your items, your shop front — stay entirely yours.

The full detail is in the terms of use.

How it happens

From the first contact until you are on your own.
BEFORE
We call you
To understand your business, your place, and agree on a day that suits you.
THE DAY
The guide photographs
You stay there, you say what can be photographed and what cannot be photographed. You keep serving your customers.
NEXT
Your shop is put together
The photos become a tour you can move around in. Your items are placed in it. You see the result before it goes online.
WEEK 1
The guide stays with you
Catalogue, first time you share your link, first questions from your customers. Until you can manage on your own.
AFTER
You are on your own
You add and remove your products yourself. A guide only comes back if your place changes.
About timing

We do not give you a figure here, because it depends on the size of your place, your town and our rounds. You will know the exact date at the time of the call, before any commitment.

We would rather promise nothing than announce a date we could not keep.

What the guide also does

He is not only a photographer.
He checks that it really works

He tests your tour on a low-end phone, not on a recent device. If it is too slow to open, he reworks it.

It is your customers' phone that counts, not ours.

He can confirm your address

With your agreement, the guide records the location of your place at the time of the shoot. Your shop then carries a verified address.

This covers the place, never your movements.

He listens to you, and that helps us

Whatever you ask for that does not exist yet, the guide writes it down and passes it on to us. That is how the product gets built.

We are at the beginning: your remarks really change what we do.
