Samyata makes shopping easy, fun and convenient. I get what I want, locally through pickup or personal shopper delivery. I find what I want, in stock, at stores near me; or if I can't find it, my personal shopper can shop for it. I can pick up my purchases myself OR have a personal shopper pick them up for me. Even if I bought what I want on any other website/app for pickup, I can have a personal shopper deliver it. My personal shopper works with me to get what I want even if I'm not sure at first. I choose what I pay my personal shopper I can conveniently split the cost of a purchase with others, easily paying with deyaPay. And there are lots of convenient features - including shopping lists, wish/gift lists, etc.
