In many situations, stores will bring your items to your home. However, sometimes you may need to collect them yourself. But don’t worry, before you buy, the Santhe app will clearly show you if the shop does home delivery or not. Then you can decide if you want to proceed with the purchase or not.
If you can’t find any shops on the Santhe App, it’s probably because no shops in your area have joined the Santhe Merchant App yet. We are working hard to get as many shops to sign up with us, so make sure to check the app regularly to see new shops in your feed.

You can find all your purchases on Santhe App in the “My Orders” section which you can find in the menu section on the top left corner of the screen. In this section you can easily filter all your orders by last 7 or 30 days or by specific dates. You can tap on an order summary to view the orders.
You can only cancel an order if the items in the order can be canceled and if the shop hasn’t started delivering the order. You can find these orders in the “Created” status and you can check if an item can be canceled or not in the product details screen before adding it to the cart and buying it.
If the items in your order can be returned, which means the shop accepts returns, only then can you return the item. Before adding an item to your cart and purchasing it, you can check whether it can be returned or not on the product details screen. The option to return the item will only be available once the order has been “Delivered” and the item can be returned. Also, you can only return the item within the time period set by the seller. When returning items, you will need to select a reason for the return and provide pictures as evidence to support your reason.
