Guide
How Zaid Connect
works today.
Practical education drawn from implemented Connect workflows and the in-product Help Centre. Where a capability is partial or gated, this Guide says so.
Getting oriented
What Zaid Connect is
Zaid Connect is a Business Network for discovering Businesses, understanding capabilities and trust context, and exploring commercial Opportunities. It is a ZAID Technologies product.
Getting started
Use the Directory and Marketplace Opportunities to discover what is available, then use the workspace appropriate to your account. Open the product at https://zaid-connect.vercel.app to begin.
Using the product
For people seeking Businesses
Customers remain free. You can discover Businesses, inspect public profiles, and use supported enquiry, project, review, and quote-assistance workflows where the product exposes them.
Directory discovery
Search and filter publicly visible Businesses. Public listings require approved verification status and an active Business. Missing details are shown honestly rather than invented.
Business profiles and contact
Profiles may include identity, category, location, capabilities, reviews, and contact details when provided. WhatsApp or call actions depend on the Business having supplied those details. Response times are not guaranteed.
Marketplace Opportunities
Marketplace Opportunities are distinct from the Directory. Enquiry submission exists for authenticated customers; treat end-to-end outcomes as subject to live product authorization.
Business & trial
Creating an account
Sign up or sign in inside Zaid Connect. During sign-up you can choose customer use or explicit business-operator intent. There is no separate public website account form.
Creating and selecting a Business
Authenticated business-operator onboarding can create a Business you own. If you belong to more than one Business, select an active Business context before using Business-scoped tools.
Business Basic and Trial
Business Basic remains available. An eligible Business may activate one 14-day Business Pro Trial inside the product after management permission and explicit consent. No payment method is collected for Trial activation, and Trial does not reserve founding pricing.
Subscription and payment
Configured founding pricing is R199/month for the first 100 qualifying paid subscriptions; standard pricing is R299/month. Online subscription activation and payment are not currently available.
