What is UniFind?

UniFind was built to make student-to-student transactions personalized, faster, more organized, and safer within the BU campus, while promoting affordability and sustainability through item reuse. Only verified BU students with an active @bicol-u.edu.ph Google account can access the app.

Mission

To provide students with a trusted digital marketplace that makes buying and selling easier, safer, and more accessible.

Vision

To become the go-to campus marketplace where every BU student can connect, trade, and support one another within the university community.

What the app includes

Built with a Content-based Recommendation system, UniFind also uses a structured cart and order system. No in-app payment is processed for now, buyers and sellers coordinate meetups and payment on campus after the seller accepts an order.

From sign-in to transaction

Checkout does not finalize a transaction, it creates an order request. The seller accepts or rejects it, then buyer and seller coordinate payment and meetup through the in-app chat.

01

Sign in with your BU Google account

Only @bicol-u.edu.ph emails are accepted. Non-BU accounts are blocked at the server level before account creation.

02

Browse or post listings

Scroll on the Home feed or search by category/keyword. Add items to your cart or post your own with photos, a description, and a price.

03

Send an order request

Checkout submits an order to the seller. The seller reviews it and accepts or rejects. No payment happens inside the app.

04

Coordinate and meet on campus

Use the built-in chat to arrange payment method and meetup location. After completion, both parties can leave a review.
