Why a Dedicated Live Shopping Platform?
Instagram wasn't built for commerce. Flipkart and Amazon weren't built for video. Neither serves the live shopping India ecosystem well. Sellers need a platform that understands live selling from the ground up — that's Snatch.
The core problem: tens of thousands of Indian sellers are doing live sales on Instagram but managing orders through DMs, payments through screenshots, and shipping through WhatsApp. They're running businesses on infrastructure built for selfies.
What Makes Snatch Different
Snatch is a vertical platform built for one job: making live selling effortless and profitable.
For Sellers
- One-tap live streaming — go live instantly with built-in camera tools, filters, and product overlays
- Product management — add products, set variants (size, colour), manage inventory in real time
- In-stream checkout — buyers purchase without leaving your stream. No DMs. No screenshots.
- Order management — view orders, print shipping labels, track deliveries from a single dashboard
- Analytics — stream views, watch time, conversion rates, revenue per stream

- Shipping integration — automated label generation and real-time tracking
For Buyers
