Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get started buying on LocalEatz?

How do I pay for orders?

You can pay by cash when you pick up your order, by bank transfer, or by card — whichever the seller accepts. Not every seller offers every method, so you will see what is available for your cart at checkout.

What delivery options are available?

Delivery options vary by seller. Many offer free pickup from their farm or kitchen, local delivery, or shipping. If a seller charges a delivery or shipping fee, it is calculated per seller and shown clearly at checkout before you pay — and some sellers offer free shipping over a certain order amount.
