Thekaydar is where Pakistan finds its barbers, plumbers, tutors and caterers. And where a rating isn't an opinion from the internet, it's a receipt from someone who provably stood in the shop.

How it works

Four steps. No middleman.

The platform never stands between you and the person doing the work.

STEP 01

Find

Real businesses near you, with their own prices, hours and photos.

STEP 02

Book

Pick a free slot. Chat opens once the seller accepts.

STEP 03

Verify with the code

Read the 4-digit code aloud. GPS confirms both phones are there.

STEP 04

Pay direct & rate

Cash straight to the business, 0% to us. Only verified visits can rate.

The verified visit

Four digits. Two phones. One real visit.

This is the mechanic nobody else in Pakistan has. It is the reason a Thekaydar rating means something.

GPS confirms both phones at the agreed location

01

The customer reads it aloud

One code per booking, shown only to the customer.

02

The seller types it in

Face to face, into their dashboard. Wrong code, no visit.

03

GPS matches both phones

Wrong place, no show, expired code: the visit never counts.

No show, no code, no review. Ratings here are receipts, not opinions.

Trust & safety

Built so nobody can fake it.

Marketplaces die from fake sellers and fake reviews. We engineered both out before launch.

The money

You pay the shop. We take nothing.

That's the whole business model. Customers never pay the platform a single rupee. Sellers keep 100% of what they earn and pay one flat monthly subscription, with a free tier to start on.

For businesses

Your shop. Your prices. Your money.

  • 0% commission, ₨0 lead fees. Customers pay you directly. One flat monthly subscription is all you ever pay, and there's a free tier to start.
  • You set everything. Your services, your prices, your working hours, your service area: walk-in, home service, or both.
  • Reviews you can defend. Only code-verified visits can be rated. Nobody who never walked in can touch your rating.
  • Verified by humans, fast. A real person reviews your CNIC and selfie. Listings typically go live within 24 hours.

Questions

Asked, answered.

The short version of everything people want to know before their first booking. Anything else? Write to us.

Is Thekaydar really free for customers?

Yes, forever. No booking fees, no service charges, no subscriptions. You pay the business directly for the work, face to face, and the platform never touches that money.

What exactly is a "verified visit"?

Every booking generates a one-time 4-digit code. At the start of service you read it aloud, the seller types it into their dashboard, and GPS confirms both phones are at the agreed location. Wrong code, wrong place, or no-show: the visit never counts. And only verified visits can leave a review.

How do home services and travel charges work?

Sellers who come to you set their own travel charges, and you see the full breakdown upfront, before you book. No surprises at the door. Your exact location is only shared with the seller you booked, for that order only.

What does it cost to list my business?

One flat monthly subscription, with a free tier to start on. 0% commission, no lead fees, no cut of your earnings, ever. Customers pay you directly and you keep 100%. Sign up at seller.thekaydar.com.

How long does seller approval take?

A real person reviews your CNIC and selfie, typically within 24 hours. The moment you're approved, your listing goes live in your city.

Which cities is Thekaydar in?

Karachi, Lahore and Islamabad, with more cities opening.

Is there a mobile app?

Thekaydar works on any phone's browser today at app.thekaydar.com. Android and iOS apps are on the way. No fake store badges until they're real.

What happens if something goes wrong?

Report it from the order in the app. Disputes are reviewed by a human admin with real powers: warnings, penalties, suspensions and bans. Verification evidence (the code, the GPS match) means disputes get settled on facts, not he-said-she-said.
