The Zipline App

The Zipline app is used to manage your account, browse storefronts, and place and track orders. It has various sections to make shopping, ordering and monitoring your delivery easy and convenient.

The Home screen

The main screen is shown anytime you log into your account and is based on the delivery address you entered.

Delivery address

The delivery address shows at the very top of the screen.

Storefronts

Just below the delivery address, available storefronts are shown, along with their status.

  • A time range indicates the store is open and shows the estimated delivery time if an order is placed.

  • Other statuses may be displayed depending on whether the store is accepting orders or is closed, high volume is being experienced, or delays or closures are in place.

How it works

This section provides an overview of how Zipline deliveries work, opening a guide that describes the process.
