How it works

From countdown to certified owner.

Five steps from sign-up to sole owner

Tap any step. The whole path takes minutes — the ownership lasts a lifetime.

From sign-up to sole ownership

Register with phone OTP

Bind a valid Indian PIN code as your primary commercial zone. Light KYC for customers; full GST/PAN KYC for dropshippers and distributors.

Browse your PIN catalogue

Products show as Upcoming, Live, Available in My PIN, Selling Fast, Sold Out in My PIN, Available in Other PINs or Exchange Only.

Pre-book or claim at launch

Pre-booking also consumes the scarcity lock, so the piece is yours the moment the drop goes live.

Pay, then get certified

GST invoice plus a QR digital certificate confirming One PIN One Piece ownership, downloadable in the app.

Wallet built in

Available, reserved, cashback, bonus and commission balances on a hash-chained, tamper-evident ledger.

Referral from day one

A unique link and code at registration, shareable on WhatsApp, SMS, email and social.

Track after payment

Statuses from Payment Received to Delivered plus exchange stages, pushed via app, SMS, email and WhatsApp.

The engine behind One PIN, One Piece

Scarcity is a database guarantee, enforced at every write path — listing, add-to-cart, checkout, payment confirmation, dropship orders and admin-created orders.

Atomic enforcement

A Redis lock resolves contention in real time while a PostgreSQL UNIQUE constraint on SKU + PIN acts as the final authority.

FIFO hold queue

Concurrent same-PIN users see live queue position, ETA and countdown; a lapsed hold releases the piece to the next person.

Anti-spoofing

GPS and address checks, device fingerprinting, and admin-approved PIN changes stop people faking a new zone.

Scheduled launches

Drops auto-flip Upcoming → Live at the scheduled time, subject to stock, PIN and scarcity rules.

Built for drop spikes

Targets 10,000 concurrent users per drop, sub-500 ms checkout and under-1 s queue updates at 99.9% uptime.

Fully auditable

Immutable event logs cover every scarcity, wallet, stock and fund operation.

One piece. One owner. Per PIN.

  • QR digital certificate Unique number with SKU, brand, order, date and PIN — verifiable by admin.
