For buyers

Discover, inquire, and connect — all before you send a single DM.

01

Browse local closets and boutiques

Search by city, event type, category, price, and availability. Joda surfaces sellers near you so you can meet for fittings, try-ons, and local pickup — no more scrolling Instagram for 3 hours.

02

Find exactly the right fit

Filter by real measurements — bust, waist, hips — not just "size M". Every listing includes blouse measurements and height recommendations so you can pre-qualify before you even reach out.

03

Send a structured inquiry

Click "Send inquiry" on any listing. Fill in your event date, measurements, city, and question. The seller gets everything they need — no back-and-forth needed.

04

Connect with confidence

Every seller has a real profile: shop name, city, service modes, Instagram handle. You know exactly who you're talking to before you send a word.

Built-in trust

Every detail designed for confidence.

Verified seller badges

Joda reviews and verifies sellers. Buyers see a clear badge on verified shops.

Real cities, real people

Every seller profile shows their actual city. Local buyers find local sellers.

Blouse measurements on every listing

Bust, waist, hips — required fields, not optional. No more guessing from "size M".

Structured inquiry forms

Buyers send their event date and measurements with every inquiry. Sellers always have context.

🏪

For sellers

A professional storefront without the tech setup. Up and running in minutes.

01

Create your storefront in 5 minutes

Sign up, add your shop name, city, bio, Instagram handle, and service types. You'll get a permanent URL you can link in your Instagram bio.

02

List your outfits with real details

Add photos, title, description, measurements, price, event tags, and availability. Measurement fields are first-class — buyers can filter by bust and waist before they even click your listing.

03

Get discovered locally — without posting reels

Your shop appears in city-based searches automatically. Buyers looking for lehengas, streetwear, or anything in between find you directly.

04

Manage structured inquiries from your dashboard

Receive inquiries with event date, measurements, and clear questions baked in. Reply, accept, or decline. No more lost DMs, no more repeating yourself.

Payments & transactions

Joda connects buyers and sellers. You handle the rest.

Joda is a discovery and inquiry platform. Once a buyer contacts a seller, you negotiate and transact directly — by cash, Zelle, Venmo, bank transfer, or whatever you agree on. Joda does not process or hold payments.

This means zero commission, zero payment delays, and zero disputes through Joda. You're in control of your business.
