Placing an Order

  1. Add the item(s) you want to your cart.
  2. At checkout, enter (or select) your delivery address.
  3. Review the shipping fee — this is set by the seller based on your delivery location, and shown before you pay.
  4. Complete payment securely through our payment processor.
  5. You’ll land on an order confirmation page, and receive a confirmation email with your order details.

Tracking Your Order

  1. Open Orders from your dashboard menu to see everything you’ve bought.
  2. Tap any status card at the top (e.g. Processing, Shipped, Delivered) to quickly filter your order list.
  3. Open an order to see its full details, including delivery address and price breakdown.
  4. Once the seller marks it shipped, you’ll see the courier name and a tracking code or link, if they’ve provided one.

What Happens After Delivery

Okmall protects every order with a couple of built-in safety windows:

Shipped
The seller ships your order and marks it as shipped.
Delivered
You confirm receipt yourself, or it’s automatically marked delivered 7 days after shipment if you haven’t.
Completed
If no dispute is raised within 24 hours of delivery, the order is automatically finalised and the seller is paid.

That window between delivery and completion is your chance to check that everything arrived as expected before the order is finalised.

Raising a Dispute

If your order arrives damaged, isn’t what you ordered, or doesn’t arrive at all, you can raise a dispute directly from that order — within 24 hours of it being marked delivered.

  1. Open the order from Orders and select Raise a Dispute.
  2. Select the affected item(s), if your order has more than one.
  3. Choose the reason that best matches the issue, and describe what went wrong.
  4. Attach photos of the item as received — this is the most useful evidence you can provide.
  5. Submit your dispute. The seller is notified immediately and has 48 hours to respond. If they don’t, it’s automatically escalated to our team.
While a dispute is open You can message the seller directly within the dispute to work things out. Our team reviews the case and makes a final decision where needed. See our Refund and Return Policy for how refunds and returns are handled.
7

Messaging a Seller

  1. From an order’s detail view, open the chat to message the seller directly about that order.
  2. Use this to ask about delivery, confirm details, or raise a concern before it becomes a dispute.

Each conversation is tied to a specific order and closes automatically once that order is completed or cancelled.

Following Your Favorite Sellers

  1. Visit any seller’s store page and tap the Follow button.
  2. You’ll be notified when that seller lists new products.
  3. You can turn notifications for a specific seller on or off at any time, or unfollow them entirely.
