Have you heard the name JioMart- well you can google it.
JioMart is an online grocery service provider.
If you already know about JioMart and want to know how to build a JioMart app clone, then you can also google it (he hee).

Either way, you landed on this page to know more about JioMart and how to develop a grocery delivery app like JioMart. So, without wasting much of your time, let me provide you with detailed insights about a grocery delivery app and how to build a grocery delivery app like JioMart.

Let’s get to the basics first. (This is why the blogs exist-they explain the A-Z of a given topic in the simplest language possible).

The Grocery Delivery App is a mobile application that lets people order groceries online from home with the utmost comfort and ease. Your groceries will be dispatched to you at the specified place. It reduces the need to go out to local stores to even purchase a single grocery item.

JioMart is one such grocery delivery app, founded by Reliance Retail and Jio platforms. JioMart is an Indian-based grocery delivery service. It offers grocery delivery and delivery of daily essential items from nearby stores to the user’s doorstep. You can download and examine the features of the JioMart app.

How Does a Grocery Delivery App Like JioMart Work?
The grocery delivery mobile app functionality is not very elaborate. Simply, it virtually provides all sorts of grocery and household items by applying filters in order.
After searching for the items, the users can add them to the cart and perform the final checkout. The users can also choose the time slot for the order's delivery.

The detailed steps of how a grocery delivery app works are as follows:

  • The user will sign up by filling in the necessary details.
  • After completing signing up, log in with your email ID and password
  • Search for the items you want to purchase.
  • Select products and add them to your cart.
  • Add your delivery address details
  • Approve the order confirmation.
  • The admin will receive the order request
  • Your order request will be redirected to the grocery store manager.
  • The store manager will respond by either accepting or declining the request.
  • Admin will reach back to the customer by sending a notification
  • The store manager will generate the order
  • They will update the admin that the courier service has collected the order.
  • Order delivers successfully to the customer
  • The courier service will update the admin and the customer.

Must-Have Features In The Grocery Delivery App
Some of the essential must-have features in the grocery delivery app are:

Free-home delivery
Since it’s a grocery “delivery” app, it should provide free home delivery of groceries and household items. A grocery delivery app should not impose any kind of charge or pain on the customers. By including this feature in your application, one can save money and time while buying groceries online.

A Big No to Minimum Order Value
A grocery delivery app should not have a minimum order value. The app should allow users to place orders as per their requirements without any barrier to the minimum order value. The customer should be able to order the items within their budget to get free delivery at home.

Express Delivery
The app that delivers groceries should always offer express delivery. The groceries should be delivered to your home in a few minutes after placing the order.

Return Policy with No Questions Asked
If the grocery item is not appropriate, the end-users can return the item without giving any explanation. This is the return policy with no questions asked. It is a good feature that a grocery delivery app can provide for ordering online groceries.

Grocery Delivery App Development Cost
The cost of developing a grocery delivery app matters. However, it depends on a number of factors, such as:

  • The reputation of the development partner
  • Geolocation of the app development team
  • Timeline and team size
  • Minimum viable product or a full-fledge grocery delivery app

So, how much does a grocery delivery app cost?

The total cost of building a grocery delivery app will be around 15 to 20k USD. You should learn about the cost of the application's creation to prepare a proper budget.
Decide whether you need an MVP grocery delivery application or a fully-fledged application with advanced features.

For a minimum viable product (MVP), the cost will be up to 15 to 25k USD, while for a fully-fledged app, the budget will be raised to 25 to 35k USD.
