FAQ

Autonomous Operational Guidance & Architecture

Welcome to the Garikothay.com Intelligence Hub. Our platform is engineered to function as a fully automated, commission-free, Peer-to-Peer (P2P) digital infrastructure. To ensure seamless navigation, absolute transparency & zero administrative delays, we have compiled institutional responses to the most frequent inquiries across our ecosystem.

1. General Platform Architecture

What is Garikothay.com & how does it operate?

Garikothay.com is Bangladesh’s premier automated automotive & business discovery directory. We operate strictly as a decentralized P2P infrastructure. We do not act as an escrow agent, broker, or transaction handler. Instead, our framework enables direct, instantaneous connections between consumers & verified merchants without middleman interference or manual administrative queues.

Does the platform charge commissions on sales, trips, or rentals?

No. Garikothay.com is completely commission-free. We do not take a percentage per vehicle sale, rental trip, or product transaction. Merchants operate under highly predictable, flat-rate fixed subscription models, retaining 100% of their operational revenue.

Why does the platform use text-based search instead of interactive live maps?

To protect platform performance, guarantee lightning-fast loading speeds across nationwide mobile demographics & eliminate volatile third-party map API costs. Location searches filter directly through highly optimized, text-based district & sub-district (জেলা > থানা) dropdown menus. If a physical location view is required, the platform utilizes secure deep-linking to instantly open the user’s native smartphone mapping application at zero operational cost.

2. Merchant & Business Operations

How do I activate a new business profile in the Local Business Directory?

To eliminate spam, automated bots & duplicate entries, Garikothay.com enforces a strict monetary entry filter. Onboarding requires a flat, one-time, non-refundable activation fee of ৳99. Upon completing form submission, the system routes you to our secure, unified payment gateway. The listing deploys live immediately upon successful settlement with zero manual administrative review.

What happens when my vehicle rental or showroom subscription slot expires?

Our infrastructure runs on an automated server-side lifecycle engine. The exact millisecond your subscription period expires, the backend code automatically hides your vehicle or showroom listing from the public directory grids. Listings instantly redeploy live the moment a self-service renewal is processed through your merchant dashboard.

How are order payments & shipping handled in the Multi-Vendor Shop?

Garikothay.com operates a strict hybrid e-commerce model. For your own stocked inventory, transactions route through the unified platform checkout. For third-party vendor products, checkout bypasses online payment gateways entirely. The order aggregates directly into the vendor’s personal dashboard. The vendor connects directly with the consumer to arrange cash-on-delivery (COD) or private mobile banking settlements & manages their own fulfillment completely outside our framework.

3. Consumer & User Support

How do I book a rental vehicle, purchase a vehicle, or hayer a professional?

Ecosystem interactions utilize our high-efficiency one-click communication vectors. When you locate a service, vehicle, or business, click the prominent "Call Now" or "WhatsApp" button on the profile. This instantly initiates a direct cellular link or secure chat with the merchant. All pricing negotiations, service timelines & transactional terms are settled directly between you & the provider.

Why is there a fee to post a question in the Ask a Mechanic forum?

To completely eliminate low-value forum spam, abusive cross-posting & to respect the valuable technical bandwidth of our registered automotive professionals. The Pay-to-Post model requires a minimal, non-refundable gateway fee to publish a query. This ensures only high-intent, genuine automotive challenges reach our certified mechanic panels.

Is my personal documentation secure within the Digital Document Wallet?

Yes. The wallet uses secure, client-side cloud data isolation. Your vehicle licenses, tax tokens & fitness are encrypted & accessible exclusively via your authorized login credentials. Furthermore, the platform utilizes automated background runtime cron-jobs to autonomously scan your input parameters & push automated expiry reminders directly to your notification feed without human admin intervention.

4. Legal & Liability Boundaries

What is the platform's policy regarding transaction disputes or service failures?

Garikothay.com operates under an absolute No-Liability Protocol. Because all transactions, structural agreements & service fulfillment occur entirely peer-to-peer outside our digital environment, the platform is legally indemnified against any financial disputes, vehicle damages, fraudulent merchant activity, or roadside assistance delays. Both parties are mandated to perform strict personal due diligence before capital execution.
