ZF BidMart is a preview of a fresh-food marketplace built for Bangladesh’s fresh-food markets. In the app you can bid live on fish, poultry and livestock, buy vegetables on Sabji Live by calling out a weight, or order frozen butcher cuts at a fixed price from ZF Freezer.

No. The preview runs entirely in your browser on sample data. No real orders, bids or payments are processed, and no money is ever charged.

Checkout is labelled “Demo checkout”, and a DEMO label stays on screen while you shop, bid and check out.

They are part of the simulation. Rival bids, other shoppers taking vegetables and winner alerts are generated by the app so you can see how a live market behaves. They are not real people.

No. You can continue as a guest. The phone sign-in is a demo: no text message is sent, and the number stays on your device.

No. Every price in the preview app and on this website is sample data.

Your bag, cart, orders, coins and settings are saved in this browser’s storage on your device. There are no accounts or servers behind the preview.

“Reset demo data” in the app’s Settings restores the sample data.

Each fish or poultry lot shows its weight, where it comes from and the current bid. Every bid adds +৳50 and resets the lot’s clock to 2:00, so other bidders always have time to answer. When the clock runs out, the highest bid wins.

Yes. In the app, the cow, goat and camel can be bid on whole or cut by cut: the meat map shows 15 cuts, and each cut has its own live bid. The bull is sold whole.

There is no bidding on Sabji Live. Each stall sells vegetables at a fixed price per kg. Pick an item and call out a weight from 250 g to 5 kg: it goes into your bag, and the stall’s stock drops by the same amount.

ZF Freezer is a fixed-price catalogue of frozen butcher cuts: 65 products in 9 categories, including 5 combo boxes. You can browse by category, by type of cut or by part of the animal. Frozen packs are listed at −18°C, and you can add up to 10 of each product to your cart.

In the preview, auction and livestock orders pay a ৳80 delivery fee. Sabji Live orders deliver free from ৳1,000, and ZF Freezer orders free from ৳2,000; below those amounts, delivery is ৳80 for Sabji Live and ৳80 for ZF Freezer. These are sample fees.

After you win an auction or livestock lot, you choose how it arrives: whole, or cut and cleaned (cut and packed for livestock), which adds a ৳100 processing fee in the preview.

You don’t — checkout is a demo. The app shows mobile banking, card and internet banking options so you can see the flow, but no payment gateway is connected and no money is charged.

Each order moves through 6 stages, from “Bid won” or “Order placed” to “Delivered”. In the preview the progress is simulated: a demo button moves the order on one stage at a time.

You earn 10 coins for every ৳1,000 you spend, and 10 coins are worth ৳1 off a later order. Leaving feedback on a delivered order earns 15 coins. In the preview, coins are sample data kept on your device.

In the app you have a referral code and a QR code that open this site’s install page. When a referred friend buys, 10% of that purchase earns you coins at the usual rate — a ৳10,000 purchase earns 10 coins. In the preview, referred friends and their purchases are simulated.

ZF BidMart is a web app, so you install it from your browser — no app store needed. It takes a few steps in your browser’s menu or share sheet, and it then opens from your home screen or app list like any other app.

Not yet. An Android app on Google Play is planned. Until then, install the web app — it works the same way.

Yes, once you have opened it with a connection. The app’s screens then work offline, and your bag, cart and orders stay saved on your device. Videos need a connection: offline, you see a still picture instead.

This website itself needs a connection.
