Orders app - Kenya

Orders app

Under exceptional circumstances, you can temporarily deactivate your store on the Glovo app if necessary. For example, if your store is saturated. To do so, click on the house-shaped icon that you’ll find in the upper right-hand corner of the Orders app. You can close your store temporarily for half an hour, for an hour or until the end of the day.

You can also schedule store closures for a period of time if you plan to close on national holidays or have some time off.

If you’ve received an order and your store is already closed, follow these steps:

  • Please contact Partner Support for assistance. Find here how to contact Partner Support to cancel the order.
  • Update your store’s opening hours on the Orders app. To do so, head to the Profile section and click the “Edit” button located next to your opening hours.
  • You’ll see a pop-up window where you’ll be able to change your store’s opening and closing hours depending on the day of the week.

You can enable and disable products and attributes depending on their availability.

If you run out of a product on your menu, select the product and click on “Disable” on the Orders app. You can choose to disable it for a set period of time.

Remember to enable the product again once you have it back in stock so your customers can order it.
Follow the same procedure for the “Attributes” category.

Generally, if an order was cancelled due to the customer and you had already accepted it, you’ll receive a notification in the Orders app and you’ll be refunded for that order. This notification will confirm if the order will be paid for or not.

For issues related to ongoing orders, please contact Partner Support for asistance. Find here how to contact Partner Support.

If, under exceptional circumstances, you need to cancel an order, please contact Partner Support for assistance. Find here how to contact Partner Support.

If, under exceptional circumstances, you realize you have run out of a product a customer has just ordered:

Call the user to offer an alternative. You can find the user’s telephone number in the order details on the Orders app.
*If the user agrees to have the product replaced, follow the steps below to change the order in the system. This way, the user will get the right receipt with the final product list and their prices:

  • Select the order you want to modify, find the product to replace and click “Edit”.
  • Click on “Replace”, then select the alternative product and click “Save”.

If the user isn’t interested in the alternative, please send us a message by clicking the “Help and resources” button in the Profile section of the Orders app and ask for the order to be cancelled.

Remember to also disable the unavailable product on the Orders app as soon as possible so that more users don’t end up ordering something that’s not available.

In the Profile Section of the Orders app, you’ll be able to find three types of contacts. It is important to always keep them updated as it will ensure that you and any other employee at your store receive the right information from Glovo:

Operations Contact (can be viewed and modified via the Orders app and Manager Portal)
This is the person located at the store managing the day-to-day business. Generally, it’s the store manager. However, you can also add an additional email of a store employee.
This contact will receive:

  • Responses from our Partner Support team to the messages you or your team send us through the Orders app.
  • Operational communications such as information about new Orders App features, holiday reminders, guides on how to use the Orders app, etc.
  • Calls about any matters regarding ongoing orders.

Business Contact (can be viewed via the Orders app and modified via Manager Portal only)
This is the key decision maker for the business. It might be the business owner and/or another person in charge of managing the overall business, not necessarily located at the store.
This contact will receive:

  • Business-related information, such as performance reports or marketing promotions.
  • Relevant communications shared with the daily Operations contact for visibility.

Invoicing Contact (can be viewed via the Orders app and modified via Manager Portal only)
This is the person/people in charge of invoicing and payments.
This contact will receive:

  • Invoices and any other information regarding the invoicing process and payments.

Note: You can add up to two different email addresses for each type of contact. Also note that the same person can be added to different types of contacts.

Every time there is a cancellation for one of your ongoing orders, a pop-up will be displayed in the Orders app with the following information:

  • Cancellation reason

When receiving a new order, the Orders app will start ringing and the order will be highlighted. Click on the order, review it and tap on the green button “Accept”. The order will automatically move to the “Accepted” list of orders.

The courier will be picking up your orders and delivering them to the customer.

Before giving the bag to the courier:

  • Go through the ticket again to make sure all products are included (it’s sometimes easy to forget about drinks and small items like sauces).
  • Seal the bags properly with staples or stickers to guarantee that the customer receives the order exactly as you prepared it.
  • Double-check the ticket code to make sure you’re handing over the right order. If an order requires multiple bags, please ensure all of them are picked up.

The following information is displayed for each order:

  • The order ID code – Store name and address
  • Customer details (including their telephone number)
  • The estimated pick-up time
  • Order description (allergy information)
