Store discovery

## What you can do

- ### Personalized home page

  The home page combines a promotional banner, featured or sponsored businesses, business-type shortcuts, and the businesses that serve the customer's address.

- ### Configurable search filters

  Choose which filters customers can use when browsing: sort, brands, price range, maximum delivery fee, maximum delivery time, maximum distance, and business categories.

- ### Map view of nearby businesses

  Customers switch to a map to find nearby businesses as markers, with the filtered list available beside it on desktop.

- ### Browse and use offers

  Customers review the offers available for their location and order type, search them by name, and continue to a participating business.

- ### Products ordered before

  On a business page, signed-in customers see the products they ordered there before, limited to what's still available.

- ### Recommendations by dietary preference

  Suggest products from a customer's dietary preferences.

- ### Direct store links

  Share a link that opens a specific store page directly.

- ### Deep links to a product, checkout, or order

  A product link opens the product dialog directly, and app links and notifications can open a business, a product, checkout, or an order.

Customer app and website

## A home page built around the customer's address

The home page combines a promotional banner, featured or sponsored businesses, business-type shortcuts, and the businesses that serve the customer's current address, with an order-progress preview for signed-in customers.

- A promotional banner
- Featured or sponsored businesses
- Business-type shortcuts so customers browse by what they need
- The list of businesses that serve the customer's current address
- For signed-in customers, an order-progress preview of orders already placed

Dashboard

## Choose which filters customers can use

From Platform settings, turn on the filters that matter to your marketplace, so customers narrow the business list to what fits them.

- Sort
- Brands
- Price range
- Max delivery fee
- Max delivery time
- Max distance
- Business categories

Customer app and website

## Find nearby businesses on a map

Customers can switch to a map to find businesses near their ordering location, with the filtered list available beside the map on desktop.

- Markers appear for the businesses returned near the customer's location
- Selecting a marker can show a business summary before opening its full page
- On desktop, the business results and configured filters stay visible beside the map
- Filters remain available on the map view
- If the map is unavailable, customers can use the business list or search instead

Customer app and website

## Browse and use offers

A dedicated offers page lets customers review the promotions available for their location and order type, search them by name, and continue to a participating business.

- Each offer can show its name, expiration, and, when available, an image and description
- Search narrows the list by offer name
- Offer details can include the discount value, what it applies to (subtotal, delivery fee, or service fee), the minimum purchase, and a coupon code when one applies
- Selecting Use coupon under a listed business takes the customer there to continue ordering
- The Offers navigation item appears only when promotions are enabled

Customer app and website

## Recommendations from what customers already like

On a business page, signed-in customers see the products they ordered there before, and the platform can suggest products from a customer's dietary preferences.

- Shown only to signed-in customers
- Identifies the earlier order date
- Limited to products that are currently available
- Opens the product to review its current details before adding it again
- Recommendations from a customer's dietary preferences

Website and customer app

## Links that open a specific store or product

Share a link that opens a specific store directly, or a product link that opens its details over the business page. Inside the app, a recognized link can also open a business, a product, checkout, or an order.

- Published links can open a business through a store path or a shorter business path
- A product link opens the same product dialog directly when the product remains available
- Customers should use a link generated by the Website rather than build one by hand
- In the app, a recognized link can open a business or product, checkout, or an order
- Order notifications open the corresponding order details

How it works

## From setup to the next order.

1. 01**Start from a personalized home**

   The home page opens with a banner, featured businesses, and the stores that serve the customer's address.

2. 02**Narrow the search or switch to the map**

   Customers apply the filters you turned on, or switch to the map view to browse nearby businesses.

3. 03**Reorder and jump back in**

   Signed-in customers see products they ordered before, get recommendations from their dietary preferences, and can follow a direct link straight back to a store or product.

## Good to know

- The offers page is separate from coupons applied in the cart; it appears only when promotions are enabled and a location is selected.
- Products ordered before and dietary recommendations are shown only to signed-in customers, limited to what's still available.
- The home page's banner, business-type shortcuts, and sponsored placements depend on the Website theme and project configuration; not every store shows every control.
