Questions and answers

Everything sellers ask us about recording, sharing, storage and pricing. Can't find yours? Ask us at the bottom of the page.

Getting started

What is DispatchO?

DispatchO records a video while each order is packed, seals it so no one can change it, and lets you share it with your customer in one private link when a claim comes in. It is built for sellers who lose money to "the box was empty", "wrong item" and "missing part" claims.

Who is it for?

Sellers of high-value products and the teams who pack for them: jewellery and luxury, electronics and mobiles, D2C brands, B2B distributors and exporters, and 3PLs.

What do I need to start?

A camera, a browser and an internet connection. The camera can be a phone on a stand, a laptop webcam, or a USB camera fixed over the packing desk. A barcode scanner helps but is optional.

Do I need to install an app?

No. DispatchO runs in the browser. Use a recent version of Chrome, Edge or Safari on a phone, laptop or desktop PC.

How long does it take to get going?

Once your orders are connected, packers can start recording straight away. During the free pilot we help your tech team connect your order system.

Recording and packing

What does the packer have to do?

Scan the order barcode (or type the order number), press Record, pack while ticking off each item on screen, scan serial numbers, note the seal number and weight, then press Stop. Everything after Stop happens on its own.

What is shown on the video?

The camera view with the order number, the date and time in IST, the packer's name and the packing station burned into every frame. The item checklist, serial numbers, seal number and weight are saved with the video.

Can I use a barcode scanner?

Yes. A USB barcode scanner types into the page like a keyboard, so you can scan the order barcode to start and scan serial numbers straight into the right field while recording.

What happens if an order is cancelled or on hold?

DispatchO checks the latest order status when the packer scans it. Cancelled and on-hold orders are stopped at the desk so they are not packed by mistake.

Can an order be packed again?

Yes. If an order already has a video, the packer is warned and has to give a reason before recording again. Every video is kept.

What if the internet drops while packing?

The video is recorded on the device and uploaded after the packer presses Stop, in small parts that retry automatically. Keep the page open until it says the video is uploaded.

Can I upload videos from CCTV or another camera?

Yes. Validators can upload a video recorded elsewhere and attach it to the order. It is kept and shared the same way, but marked Unverified, because DispatchO did not see it being recorded.

Orders and integrations

Where do the orders come from?

From your own order system. Either DispatchO calls one endpoint on your system when an order is scanned, or your system pushes orders to our API. Each scan fetches the latest copy, so edits and cancellations are caught before packing.

What if our order system is down?

If DispatchO has seen the order before, the packer can carry on with the saved copy, and the video notes that the order could not be refreshed. If the order has never been seen, packing is blocked until your system is back.

We don't have an order API. Can we still use it?

Yes. Your tech team can push orders to our API instead. During the pilot we help set up whichever is easier.

Do you connect directly to Shopify, Unicommerce or other platforms?

Not yet. Today you connect through our API. Tell us which platform you use; it helps us decide which ones to build first.

Can our system find out when an order is packed?

Yes. DispatchO sends signed webhooks when packing starts, when a video is ready, approved or flagged, when a customer watches it, and before it expires. There is also a REST API to fetch videos, create share links and download claim packs.

Sharing with customers

How does my customer see the video?

You find the order in DispatchO and share it. We email your customer a private link, or you can copy the link and send it on WhatsApp.

Does my customer need an account?

No. They open the link, type the code we email them, and watch.

Can the customer download or forward the video?

They can watch but not download it. A forwarded link is no use to anyone else, because the code goes to the customer's email address.

Will I know if the customer watched it?

Yes. Every view is written to the video's activity log, and your system can get a webhook.

Does the page show my brand?

Yes. The page your customer sees carries your company name, logo and colour, with a small "Secured by DispatchO" note.

Can I share videos with B2B clients?

Yes, in the same way. Each client gets their own link and code by email.

What is a claim pack?

A PDF you can send to a courier, marketplace or payment provider. It has the order details, the item checklist, serial numbers, seal number, weight, who packed and approved it, when recording started and ended, whether the video is Verified, its fingerprint, and a QR code to the video.

Security and storage

How do you stop videos being changed?

Each video gets a SHA-256 fingerprint as soon as it is uploaded, and is kept in write-once storage. The customer page and the claim pack both show whether the video still matches its fingerprint.

Can anyone delete a video early, including DispatchO?

No. Videos are locked in storage until the retention period ends. After that they are deleted for good.

How long are videos kept?

45, 90 or 180 days, depending on your plan. Pick one that covers your return and claim window. We warn you three days before a video is deleted, so you can download the claim pack if a case is still open.

Who in my team can see the videos?

Only people you add, and only what their role allows. Packers record, validators review and approve, and managers search, share and download claim packs. Customers only ever see the order you shared with them.

Will this guarantee I win every claim?

No tool can promise that; the marketplace, courier or bank makes the final call. What DispatchO gives you is clear, time-stamped evidence that was sealed before the parcel left, which is far stronger than your word alone.

Pricing and pilot

Is there a free trial?

Yes. A free 30-day pilot on your own orders, with help connecting your order system. No card needed.

How are the plans priced?

Plans are based on how long videos are kept and how many you record each month. Every plan includes every feature, including the API and webhooks.

Plan Videos kept Videos a month Monthly Yearly (2 months free) Extra videos
Starter 45 days 500 ₹2,499 ₹24,990 ₹5 each
Growth 90 days 2,000 ₹6,999 ₹69,990 ₹3.50 each
Pro 180 days 5,000 ₹12,499 ₹1,24,990 ₹2.50 each

Prices are in INR, plus 18% GST.

What happens if we record more videos than our plan?

Nothing stops. Packers keep recording, and extra videos are added to that month's bill at your plan's per-video rate. If you often go over, a bigger plan usually works out cheaper.

Is there a discount for paying yearly?

Yes. Pay for a year upfront and you get 2 months free, so you pay for 10 months instead of 12.

Do you have plans for high volumes or 3PLs?

Yes. If you pack more than our largest plan, or you are a 3PL packing for many brands, we will put together a custom plan.
