How does Appolos work?
Travel Souvenirs:
For non Traveler: Download Appolos App from Google Play and register. Then add a Gift (Travel souvenir) you would like to buy from anywhere in the world. Add a picture and a description. Look for Travelers going to the country where you want to get a souvenir from through the "Search Trips" button. Once you find a Traveler living within a 150 miles from your home, you select your Gift and send a request. The traveler can deny or accept the request. If the Traveler accepts the request, he or she will confirm it and both of you will be able to chat about the details of the transaction. You don't pay anything at this stage. You will wait until the Traveler reaches the destination, takes a picture of the souvenir and send it back to you for approval. If you are satisfied with the picture of the souvenir, you approve and pay Appolos Fee of 15% of the cost of souvenir. The last action is when the Traveler buys the souvenir with his or her own money and return from the trip and remit it to you. Then you pay through the App the cost of the souvenir + 19% of the cost representing the commission of the Traveler. That's it and you have a souvenir from half way around the world without leaving the comfort of your home.
For the Traveler:
After receiving a request from a non traveler, you can accept or deny the request. To learn if you have souvenir requests from users, just look at "Gift requests" from the menu. Once you accept a request, go to "Approved requests" and confirm the request.
At this point you can chat with the user who sent the request. Once in the country where you are heading, go to the store where the souvenir is located and take a picture of it and send with a short description through the App. To do that open your App and click on the gift you accepted then a screen will open and you take the picture. Once you get the Approval of the sender of the request, buy the souvenir and bring it back and remit it to the sender of the request. Never exceed the price given by the sender. Make sure the sender opens his or her App in front of you and pays within the App. You will get an instant notification about the transaction. That's it. For now a Traveler can only accept one request per trip.
Shipping Packages:
The same process as for souvenirs except that the sender of the Package pays Appolos fee of $49 once the Traveler accepts the request and the remaining $100 once the receiver let the sender inf
