The app helps you shop in three easy steps.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Select the product of your choice. Add it to your cart by scanning the bar code.<\/li>\n<li>Pay for the items in your cart using credit card, PayPal or ApplePay.<\/li>\n<li>Upon payment, you receive a QR code. Show it at the exit and leave.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<h3><strong>The Tie-ups<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Sahle Hashelit, CEO of Selfycart, started his startup with a vision of simplifying the billing process. The startup has tied up with independent stores like Rainbow Grocery and Zannatos, with further plans of partnering with Andronicos and Mollie Stones.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Fees Et al.<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>It also offers analytics to the store owners so that they can keep a track of customer preferences with regards to goods. Selfycart charges an annual fee of $19,800 for this and other services. The shoppers will pay 2 % at every transaction. But if this fee deters the people from using the app, the startup might cancel this fee altogether.<\/p>\n<p>With its Y Combinator program, Selfycart plans to raise $2 Mn &#8211; $3 Mn to expand its operations and provide more features to its users.<\/p>\n<p>What do you think of such an app?
