How OpenAf works for customers
OpenAf gives customers a simple way to order from participating local businesses in Jeffreys Bay and surrounding areas. The platform is designed for everyday local convenience: groceries, food, essentials, and other available products or services can be ordered online and delivered where delivery is supported.
1. Browse participating businesses
Customers can browse stores, restaurants, grocers, and service providers that are available on the OpenAf platform. Products, services, prices, and availability may differ by business.
2. Add items to an order
Customers select the products or services they want to order. Available items may include groceries, prepared food, everyday essentials, household items, and other local products.
3. Provide delivery details
Customers provide a delivery address, contact details, and any relevant delivery instructions. Delivery is only available in supported areas and may depend on business operating hours and delivery capacity.
4. Pay securely where online payment is available
OpenAf may offer online payment options during checkout. Payments are used for customer orders, delivery charges, service fees, and products or services supplied by participating local businesses.
5. Receive the order
Once accepted and prepared, the order is delivered to the customer where delivery is available. Delivery times are estimates and can be affected by availability, traffic, weather, store preparation time, and order volumes.
How OpenAf works for local businesses
OpenAf supports local shops, restaurants, grocers, and service providers by giving them a practical online ordering and delivery channel. Participating businesses can make products available to local customers without needing to manage every part of online ordering and delivery themselves.
What OpenAf does not sell
OpenAf is not a financial services provider, investment platform, gambling platform, or donation platform. Payments are intended for real customer orders, delivery, convenience services, and products or services made available by participating local businesses.
