Gerencianet prepares release of app for buying and selling using Instagram
Letsell: mobile platform has features that facilitate transactions
OURO PRETO, Brazil, March 9, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- With the growing number of commercial transactions conducted over the Internet it is becoming more and more common to use social networks as a tool for buying and selling. According to an announcement made in December 2014 by Kevin Systrom, CEO of Instagram, the photo sharing network has passed the 300-million user mark.
Taking advantage of the moment, Brazilian company Gerencianet saw an opportunity in Instagram to make transactions viable directly via the social network. With an innovative and different proposal for already existing tools, Letsell was developed for people who want to advertise any object they wish to sell, whether new or used, without bureaucracy.
The application affords an excellent chance for companies or ordinary people to use Instagram as a sales channel. Only the vendor is charged a fee if a transaction goes through, while the person making the purchase doesn't pay any fee at all.
The release of Letsell is scheduled for the beginning of March in 9 countries: the United States, Germany, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, Brazil, Mexico, Spain and Andorra. The app will be available in English, Spanish and Portuguese.
It's easy to purchase by cell phone
The app is free, and when it comes to making a bargain over the internet, it's equipped with basic tools. One example is an online chat function that works as a channel for sellers and buyers to negotiate. Another feature is that the application covers the whole payment process. PayPal was chosen as the means of payment to make it possible to use Letsell in a number of countries, even in situations when the parties are in different countries.
The app can be installed in Android or iOS tablets or cell phones so users can track purchases, sales and records of negotiations. On the LetSell timeline the purchaser receives photos that are liked, and has a control panel to complete the buying process, in which, for example, It is possible to change the delivery address.
Letsell is versatile and easy to use. "This app brings an innovative approach, different from other options on the market. We seek to offer the whole e-commerce process in one single application, from inclusion of the item by the seller to payment by the buyer, all simply and securely," explains Evanil de Paula, CEO of Gerencianet.
