Locals recommend. You save ₹. Businesses pay only when you show up.
POLLE is an app for all of India: locals, such as taxi drivers, guides and hosts, recommend restaurants, stays, experiences and rentals to the people they already look after. Tourists get a discount in rupees with no payment upfront, and businesses pay only when a guest really shows up and the visit is verified.
For tourists
A local you trust sends you a POLLE link, usually on WhatsApp. It opens in any browser and shows the place, your discount in rupees and who recommended it. Nothing to install, nothing to learn, and no payment needed upfront.
Create a free account with Google or email and the discount lands in your wallet. At the counter, tap Show to Staff and staff take the discount off your bill. The rupee figure is an estimate until the business verifies your visit; then it is locked in.
You never pay POLLE anything. No link? Browse the Discover feed and claim a deal yourself.
For locals
Taxi drivers, guides and hosts already tell their passengers, guests and tour clients where to eat, stay and go. POLLE turns that tip into a link that carries a discount in rupees for the guest.
You join free with a WhatsApp number and a UPI id, and each business approves you before you can refer guests to it. For each guest, you enter their name and number, pick how much of your share to pass on as their discount, and share the link on WhatsApp.
When your guest's visit is verified, your share is worked out automatically. The business pays it straight to your UPI id, and you confirm when it arrives. If it never does, you can dispute the payout and escalate it to POLLE.
For businesses
No upfront cost, no monthly fee. You pay only when a real, verified customer walks in. Zero if nobody shows.
You set the reward: what one verified customer is worth to you, per visit, night stay, order, session or activity. You approve every local who refers. When a local sent the guest, the reward is split automatically between the guest's discount, the local's share and a small platform fee for POLLE.
You pay locals directly by UPI, so POLLE never holds that money, and settle POLLE's fee from your dashboard.
How a visit is verified
A visit counts only when the business confirms it. The tourist shows their POLLE screen at the counter, and the business types the tourist's phone number, the bill and the number of units (nights, orders or visits) into its dashboard and taps Verify.
POLLE's database works out the discount and every share at that moment and locks them, so nobody does the maths by hand. A bill below the business's minimum is rejected automatically.
If the discount was not applied, the tourist can raise a dispute with a photo of the bill. The business can resolve, dismiss or escalate it, and POLLE can step in to settle it.
