What is FRQ? Questions and answers
Quick answers about FRQ, finding local shops, running a free shop website and how FRQ differs from big marketplaces.
What is FRQ?
FRQ (Find Retail Quickly, frq.in) is an Indian online marketplace for local shops and markets. Shoppers see what shops near them stock, compare prices and then visit the shop to buy. Every shop on FRQ gets its own free website, such as yourshop.frq.in.
What does FRQ mean?
FRQ means Find Retail Quickly. It is a quick way to find local markets, independent shops and products near you.
How do I find clothing shops near me?
Open frq.in and tap Shops near me. FRQ lists the markets and shops closest to you with their distance, so you can see what they sell and their prices before you go.
Can I check if a product is in stock before I visit?
Yes. Each product page shows the shop, the price and whether it is in stock. Message or call the shop to confirm, or ask it to keep the item aside where the shop offers holds, then visit to try it and pay at the counter.
What is the best online marketplace for local shops in India?
It depends on what the shop needs. National marketplaces such as Amazon, Flipkart and Meesho sell across India with delivery, each with its own fees and shipping rules. Google Business Profile and WhatsApp Business are free, but they are not a full shop website. FRQ is built for local shops: a free shop website, free counter billing, 0% commission on sales and a place in the local market guide, with customers buying at the shop.
What is a hyperlocal marketplace?
A hyperlocal marketplace lists the shops in your own area, so you can see what is in stock nearby and buy it the same day instead of waiting for a delivery. FRQ is a hyperlocal marketplace for clothing, footwear and accessories from local shops and bazaars.
Is FRQ free for shops?
Yes. The Starter plan costs ₹0: up to 50 products, your own shop web address, free counter billing with printable receipts and 0% commission on your sales. No card is needed to start. Pro costs ₹199 a month for more products and design options.
How is FRQ different from Amazon or Flipkart?
FRQ does not ship orders or take online payment for shop purchases. You find a product at a shop near you, check the stock and price, reserve it where the shop offers holds, then try it and pay the shop at the counter. Shops keep their own customers and pay no commission.
How do I put my shop on FRQ?
Open shop.frq.in, or choose Create a shop on frq.in, then add your shop details and products from your phone. Your shop gets its own address, such as yourshop.frq.in, that you can share on WhatsApp, Instagram and Google.
Does every shop get its own website?
Each participating shop can have a dedicated FRQ storefront and share its own link. A basic storefront starts free; optional tools and promotions may have a stated price.
How do I buy from a local shop?
Browse products, contact the shop or request an in-store hold where offered. Confirm the current stock and final price with the merchant, then pay the merchant directly at the counter.
Does a plan renew automatically?
Only if you choose AutoPay. A one-time plan purchase covers a fixed period and does not renew. With AutoPay, the plan price is charged at the interval shown when you set it up. You can cancel AutoPay from merchant Billing at any time, and the period you have already paid for stays active until it ends.
Who handles a return or refund?
For a counter purchase, contact the shop on your receipt. For an FRQ plan or paid promotion, use merchant Billing or email email.frq@gmail.com.
Can I stop recommendations or delete my account?
Yes. Signed-in shoppers can stop personalization and clear interests in Account settings. For account deletion or a copy of your data, contact email.frq@gmail.com.
