Frequently Asked Questions

About Nearbuy

What is Nearbuy, and what kind of offers can I find?
Nearbuy helps customers discover and buy great things to do, eat, and buy around them, with offers across restaurants, spas, salons, activities, shopping/gift cards, and other local experiences. Offer availability may vary by city and merchant.

Before You Buy

Where can I check a deal's menu, inclusions, cancellation policy, validity, redemption steps, and terms & conditions?
On the deal page, click the Menu/Inclusions button to view the full menu or inclusions. Click the Details button next to it to see a pop-up with the cancellation policy, validity, redemption steps, and other important instructions.
Do I need a reservation before visiting the merchant, and should I mention my Nearbuy voucher when booking?
Yes, a prior reservation or appointment is mandatory, and booking depends on merchant availability. The merchant may deny service if reservation slots are full or no booking was made in advance. We strongly recommend mentioning that you've purchased a Nearbuy voucher while booking, so the merchant can prepare for your visit and ensure a smooth, hassle-free redemption.

Buying and Paying

How do I buy a deal, and what payment methods are supported?
Browse the offer, log in or sign up, and complete your purchase through the checkout flow. Nearbuy supports secure payments through UPI/credit/debit cards, net banking, and wallets.
What is the convenience fee?
The convenience fee is a nominal charge applied per transaction when you buy a voucher or deal on Nearbuy. It is separate from the merchant service cost and supports the platform's deal discovery and secure payment experience.

Voucher Redemption

How do I use and redeem my voucher at the merchant?
Keep the voucher handy on your phone or open it from the Purchases section in the app. Make a prior reservation before visiting, then show the voucher to the merchant at the outlet for verification — the merchant will verify and redeem it using the voucher ID at the time of service.
How do I make a reservation with the merchant?
The merchant's contact details are listed directly on your voucher. You can call or contact the merchant directly using those details to book your reservation or appointment.
Can I redeem my voucher before visiting the merchant, or change the location/offer details after purchasing?
No to both. Vouchers should be redeemed only at the merchant location before the service starts, and once a voucher is purchased, the location and offer details cannot be changed or swapped.
Can I gift or share a voucher with someone else?
Yes. You can share the voucher PDF directly with friends or family through email or messaging apps.
Where can I find my purchased vouchers, and what if my preferred slot is fully booked?
Your purchased vouchers are available under the “My Purchases” section of your Nearbuy account on the app, web, or mobile web platform. Preferred dates, time slots, and tables depend on merchant availability — if your preferred slot isn't available, choose another date or time within the voucher validity period.

Voucher Validity and Offer Rules

Can voucher validity be extended, or can expired or non-cancellable vouchers be cancelled or refunded?
No. Once a voucher is generated or purchased, it comes with a fixed validity period that cannot be extended — please use it before expiry. An expired voucher's validity cannot be extended and it cannot be cancelled under any circumstances. Non-cancellable vouchers are also non-refundable and non-transferable once purchased.
Can I combine a Nearbuy offer with another offer or get cash back instead?
No. Nearbuy's universal fine print says offers cannot be combined with other offers and are not valid for cash back unless stated otherwise.
Do I need to provide the voucher code at the merchant, and can it be redeemed across more than one visit?
Yes, providing the voucher code is mandatory to avail the deal, and the merchant may also verify your voucher details before redemption. Unless the deal states otherwise, the voucher must be redeemed in a single visit.

Promo Codes and Instant Discounts

How do I apply a promo code?
On the order review page, select “Have a Promo Code?”, enter the code, and click Apply before completing payment.
Where can I view my promo codes and instant discount codes, their terms and validity, and other active offers?
All active promo codes and instant discount codes linked to your account are shown in the My Promo Codes section — click “Know More” or “T&C” next to a code to view its validity period and full terms. You can also view current promo and cashback offers on the Promos page.
When will I receive my Instant Discount, and can it or Cashback Credits be extended once expired?
You'll receive the Instant Discount code within 24 hours after successfully redeeming your voucher or availing the service at the merchant location. Once an Instant Discount code or Cashback Credits has expired, it cannot be extended.
If I don't use the full amount of a discount code in one transaction, can I use the balance later?
No. Discount codes are one-time use per user. If the order value is lower than the maximum discount, the unused balance is forfeited and cannot be used later.

Failed Transactions and Refunds

My transaction failed and my promo code, discount code, or nb credits are no longer visible. What should I do?
Don't worry. If a transaction fails or is dropped mid-process, any applied promo codes, discount codes, or nb credits may temporarily disappear. They should roll back to your Nearbuy account within 15 minutes — please check again after that.
My transaction failed but the amount was debited from my bank account. How will I get my refund?
Your money is safe. If a transaction fails after your account has been debited, our system will automatically initiate an auto-refund if Nearbuy received the amount. Depending on your bank's processing times, the refund will reflect in your account within 10 working days. If you don't receive it within this period, contact Customer Support at support@nearbuy.com or +91-7303390416 (daily, 11:00 AM to 8:00 PM).
