Why does a store say “Opens 08:00”?

The store is closed right now. Its opening hours are set in the app, so it opens by itself at that time. You can browse the menu, and schedule an order for later where the store allows it.

💳 Payments and wallet

How can I pay?

Depending on the store and your town:

  • Cash on delivery, or at the counter for collect orders
  • Card on delivery (the rider has a card machine)
  • Your uOrder Wallet
  • Pay now online: card or instant EFT

Some orders must be paid first, for example pharmacy orders. The checkout tells you when.

What is the delivery PIN?

Every order has a 4-digit PIN. Give it to the rider when you receive your order. It proves the right person got it. Never share it before the rider is with you.

Help the rider find my home

Many homes have no street name, so:

  • Drop the map pin on your gate when you save an address
  • Add a landmark and a short description
  • Add a photo of your gate under Profile › Saved addresses. The rider sees it on the job.
