For organizations
A direct channel to real local demand
Reach real, verified local demand. List products, ask your own questions, see aggregated answers.
Ask real households real questions
Set your own token reward per question. Every submission is reviewed before it reaches anyone — never auto-published.
List your own products
Point at a spreadsheet or add items by hand; households browse and reserve directly. Fulfillment happens outside the app — no in-app payment to set up.
See real demand, not guesses
Aggregated signals only ever publish once at least 10 households stand behind a number — never one household's data alone.
Who sells on DataPay
Brands, producer groups, and the farmer down the road
Brands and distributors
List a catalog, ask priced questions, see aggregated demand. Sign up here and you're live once approved.
Producer groups and cooperatives
A co-op, FPO or SHG federation signs up as an organization — the catalog on the homepage is one.
Farmers, SHGs and artisans
No account needed during the pilot. DataPay onboards producers directly.

How it works
From a household's answer to a real business decision
Answer & browse
A few daily questions, a token reward for each — plus a real product catalog to browse and reserve.
Aggregated privately
Every answer is tied to a private alias only — never a name or phone number an organization could see.
Real signals surface
A number only ever publishes once at least 10 households stand behind it — never one household alone.
Organizations respond
Ask priced questions, or list products directly — households browse and reserve, no middleman.

The system
Two flows, always — data up, value back down
Households never deal with organizations directly, and organizations never see a household directly. DataPay sits in between, on purpose.
