1. The Concept (The Problem We Solve)

Shopping online in Korea is notoriously difficult for foreigners due to identity verification systems (I-PIN/Mobile Authentication) and domestic-only payment methods.
Stay Drop acts as a purchasing agent on your behalf, helping you access Korean online stores using our verified local business accounts and coordinating delivery to your accommodation.

2. The 4-Step Journey (How it Works)

To keep your travel stress-free, we’ve simplified the process into four easy steps:

🔗 Step 1. Link Sharing
Browse any Korean online store (Coupang, Naver Smartstore, etc.) and send the product link to our WhatsApp channel.

💬 Step 2. Instant Quote
We provide a quote that includes the item price, applicable local shipping costs, and our service fee. Currency conversion is based on the rate at the time of quotation.

💳 Step 3. Easy Payment
Pay securely via cryptocurrency. Stay Drop does not store or process your payment details directly.

🏨 Step 4. Hotel Delivery
Once payment is confirmed, we place the order with the original merchant and coordinate delivery to your hotel’s front desk or concierge.

3. Why Use Stay Drop? (Value Proposition)

  • Zero Barriers: No Korean phone number or local ID required.
  • Speed: We prioritize fast delivery options such as next-day or same-day shipping when supported by the merchant. Delivery times are estimates and may vary.
  • Convenience: Save your travel time by shopping online instead of visiting multiple physical stores.
  • Light Luggage: Purchase bulky items online and receive them at your accommodation.
💡 Delivery timelines depend on merchant availability and courier conditions.
💡 Pro Tip for Travelers: > Use the "Share" button on the Coupang or Other Korean Merchant app/website and select WhatsApp to send the link to Stay Drop instantly!
Stay Drop is not the merchant of record. All products are purchased from third-party Korean retailers at the customer’s request.
