Fast-commerce in India is where all the buzz is at the moment. The three main players in the space–Zepto, Blinkit and Swiggy Instamart–continue to add more features and capabilities to their apps to stay relevant and entice more users. Some of these features, in addition to increasing ordering convenience, can also help save money.
Currently available in Bengaluru, Delhi, Chennai, Mumbai and Hyderabad, Zepto is the go-to app for many. If you’re a Zepto user, here are five features that will come in handy the next time you order.
Get a Zepto Pass to save on delivery fees
If you are an avid Zepto user, Zepto Pass will help you save on delivery charges, especially when you are not ordering in bulk. Zepto Pass reduces delivery charges to zero on all orders above Rs 99. It also offers special deals and discounts on selected products. If you are subscribing to Zepto Pass for the first time, you can get it for less than 1 rupee. Normally, it costs Rs 299 per month.
Get Zepto Cash, save more money
Paying with Zepto’s wallet when you order can help you save money. With Zepto Cash, it is very easy to pay and get a refund in case of product return. Up to Rs 10,000 can be added to Zepto Cash at once, and this money will stay in the wallet for 12 months. However, note that, as of now, you cannot withdraw this money to your bank account––it must be used to shop at Zepto.
Zepto Postpaid
With a limit of Rs 5,000, Zepto Postpaid works like a credit card. Users can make purchases up to Rs 5,000 using this option, which is an interest-free loan that comes under the Buy Now, Pay Later (BNPL) category. Users should pay the dues between 15 to 30 days to avoid additional charges.
Gift bag your order or remove it entirely
If you’re delivering something special to a loved one with Zepto, you can add more emphasis to the experience by choosing the gift bag option. It will cost Rs 30 per order. When a gift bag is selected, the product will be delivered in special packaging. If you are an environmentally-conscious person, you can also choose not to send Zepto a paper bag with the order and choose a reusable bag instead.
Zepto Cafe
We’re launching a separate app for Zepto Café next week! The team is shipping MVP and iterating quickly, so it might not be perfect on day one, but it’s worth starting early 😀
