--- title: "Branded Ordering Apps for iOS and Android" description: "Plan a branded iOS and Android ordering app experience around the catalog, stores, and order flow your business operates." canonical: https://www.ordering.co/platform/ordering-apps/ --- # Bring your ordering experience to iOS and Android. A branded app gives customers a mobile place to browse a menu, return to past orders, and follow an order after checkout. Use the same store, catalog, and ordering decisions across the customer journey instead of planning each mobile screen in isolation.

Ordering Apps ## A mobile channel that follows your ordering model. 01 ### iOS and Android Shape the customer journey for the two mobile platforms your customers use, from store selection through order follow-up. 02 ### Your brand in the journey Use your name, visual identity, and menu experience so the app feels like part of the same business customers visit on the web. 03 ### The same catalog as the web Keep store selection and menu information consistent across the mobile experience and the storefront customers already recognize. 04 ### Built for return visits Consider the moments after a first order: account details, order history, order status, and relevant follow-up communications. ## Plan the mobile experience around real customer moments. [All features](https://www.ordering.co/features/all-features/) ### Push notifications A clear notification strategy can keep customers informed about order changes or relevant offers without making them reopen the app to check. ### Saved addresses and cards Account details can reduce repeated entry when a customer returns, while your team defines which fields and payment methods are supported. ### One-tap reorder Order history gives a returning customer a starting point for rebuilding a familiar order before they review the current menu. ### Live order tracking A status view helps customers understand the stage of an order and where to look for the next update. ### Loyalty in the pocket If your program includes rewards, put the balance and available reward choices where customers can find them during an order. ### Payment choices in context Decide which payment methods appear in the app alongside the store, currency, and checkout rules that apply to that order. Marketplace App example ## See Marketplace App in action. Explore how a customer can find a business, choose from its menu, check out, follow an order, and come back to the app. These screens show one Marketplace App experience; your stores and operating choices shape yours. ![Five Marketplace App screens: category discovery, a business menu, welcome, business listing, and checkout.](https://www.ordering.co/_astro/marketplace-hero.qioJK8b9_Z1on3G5.webp) Marketplace App screens from discovery to checkout. Discovery and menus ## Start with the stores and menus a customer can act on. In this Marketplace App example, customers start with a delivery location, browse businesses and categories, open a menu, and keep the cart in view as they choose what to order. ![Marketplace App business listings with demo store images, delivery details, and category filters.](https://www.ordering.co/_astro/marketplace-listings.D6IWyxE3_Z2uXK8C.webp) Browse businesses with ratings and delivery details. ![Marketplace App business menu with categories, product images, prices, and a running order total.](https://www.ordering.co/_astro/marketplace-menu.BPGYmIfI_1hmAWx.webp) Explore categories, products, prices, and the running order total. See the customer journey from discovery through checkout. Capabilities in context ## Choose the ordering details that make the journey useful. [All features](https://www.ordering.co/features/all-features/) See the customer moments in Marketplace App, then decide which additional options fit your stores, customers, and order flow. Customer view ### Search, filters, and listing context Marketplace App shows categories and business listings with ratings and delivery details. Choose the search and filters that help customers find what your stores offer. Customer view ### Menus, cart, and product choices Customers can browse menu categories and product images while keeping the cart and order total in view. Your setup ### Scheduled, delivery, or pickup orders Decide which order types and time windows each store offers so customers see choices that fit that store. You set the default order type, and if a customer changes it, that choice is remembered on every channel. Your setup ### Payment, wallet, and gift card handling Marketplace App shows payment and balance choices at checkout. Confirm which payment methods, wallets, loyalty points, and gift cards fit your operation. Gift cards are redeemed online into the customer's Cash Wallet. Customer view ### Guest and returning-customer entry The app shows a guest path and account entry. Choose the sign-in methods and saved details, such as favorites and past orders, that suit your customers. Your setup ### Upsells and cart recovery Consider product suggestions and reminders for unfinished carts where they help customers complete an order and suit your communication plan. Your setup ### Support during an order Decide how customers reach the business, delivery team, or support during an order, and who will respond. Each order has its own chat with the customer, the business, the driver, and your admin team. Your setup ### Vendor-controlled marketplace content For a multi-business marketplace, decide how each business updates its menu, availability, and promotions before customers see them in the app. Checkout and tracking ## Keep the order choices and next update in context. Marketplace App brings order choices together at checkout and shows customers where to follow an order afterward. Configure payment, delivery, and status updates around the way your operation works. - Delivery or pickup choices shown with the order. - Payment and balance choices presented in the checkout context. - Order progress shown after checkout in Marketplace App. ![Marketplace App checkout examples showing delivery choices, payment methods, wallet, loyalty points, tip, and order total.](https://www.ordering.co/_astro/marketplace-checkout.B5oHSTwn_Z28K46x.webp) Checkout screens shown with demo balances and order data.

Questions about the example ## Plan the app around your business. How does the app connect to my stores and catalog? Start with the stores and menus you operate. Decide which customers each store serves, what they can order, and how menu and availability updates reach the app. The connection depends on your setup. What should we decide before launch? Confirm your stores and catalog, order and delivery options, payment methods, customer sign-in, app-store accounts, and who handles an order after checkout. Where can I explore more features? Use All features above to explore more options, then choose the ones that fit the app you want to launch. White label ## Make the mobile experience recognizably yours. A branded ordering app should carry the identity customers recognize from your storefront: the name, visual language, menu presentation, and service expectations. Establish the publishing, account, and app-store responsibilities with your team before launch. - Store listing preparationPrepare the name, artwork, screenshots, description, and account ownership needed for the app-store listing your team intends to publish. - Your identityCarry the visual system customers know through the menu, account, order status, and communications they receive. - Release responsibilitiesClarify who owns app-store access, release approvals, content updates, and ongoing product changes before development starts. - Your customers' languageThe app is available in more than 25 languages, so customers can order in the one they use. App Store · Google PlayLuna PizzaPublished by Luna PizzaGetFood & DrinkiOS and AndroidYour developer accountMenuCheckoutTracking For your team ## Run the business from a phone when you are away from the desk. A mobile view into the operation lets your team check on the business without waiting to sit down at a computer. Where you use it: Mobile browser or the Business App ### What your team can do on the go - Manage orders View and act on incoming orders from a mobile device, not just a desk. - Update the menu Make menu changes from a phone when something needs to change quickly. - Check sales reports Review how the business is doing without waiting to get back to a computer. - Message customers Respond to customer messages from a mobile device. - Stay aligned across locations Give a team spread across locations or shifts the same information, so decisions do not wait on one person at one desk. ### Why it matters - **Faster responses when it matters**A team that can act from a phone responds to orders and customers faster, wherever they are. - **Coordination across locations**Shared, up-to-date information helps a multi-location or multi-shift team stay coordinated. For your customers ## Apps that respond to the touch and stay up to date. Small details in the customer app make ordering feel responsive, and every customer runs the version you released. Where you use it: Customer apps for iOS and Android ### Haptic feedback - Feel each step A light vibration confirms actions such as selecting a product, adding it to the cart, and completing the order. - Order alerts you can feel The app can vibrate when the order is ready for pickup or has been delivered, so customers do not need to keep checking the screen. ### Forced updates - Require the latest version After an important release, customers are asked to update the app before they keep ordering, with a direct link to the App Store or Google Play. - Fixes and security reach everyone Bug fixes, security patches, and new features reach every customer instead of staying behind on older versions. ### Why it matters - **A more engaging app**Touch feedback makes the ordering flow feel responsive and clear. - **One version to support**With every customer on the current version, your team supports a single, up-to-date app. One infrastructure ## Connect the app to the ordering decisions customers already make. The app experience needs the same practical context as every ordering channel: a selected store, an available menu, the right checkout choices, and a clear destination for the resulting order. Map those connections before you introduce a new mobile surface. - Web - App - Kiosk - Phone - AI agent ![Ordering.co](https://www.ordering.co/assets/logos/ordering-lockup-color-on-white.svg)![Ordering.co](https://www.ordering.co/assets/logos/ordering-lockup-color-reversed.svg)Catalog · Stores · Customers · Payments · Orders - Merchant App - POS - Drivers - Loyalty & CRM Launch responsibilities ## Plan the release path before the app reaches a customer. A mobile launch has responsibilities beyond interface design: store accounts, required listing materials, review timing, release ownership, and the operating changes that affect an order after it is placed. - Account ownership Name the people who control the Apple and Google developer accounts, approvals, and renewal details for the intended release. - Release cadence Agree how menu, payment, policy, and operating changes are checked before an app release reaches customers. Your website and Dashboard update automatically; the branded apps are rebuilt with one click and resubmitted to the stores. - Connected systems Document the systems that need to receive or supply order information, then validate the connection design for your implementation. - Delivery scope Confirm the agreed product scope, technical responsibilities, and rights for the specific engagement before treating any capability as part of a release. ## Every other way your customers order. - [BuildOrdering WebThe white-labeled storefront on your own domain.](https://www.ordering.co/platform/ordering-web/) - [BuildOrdering KioskSelf-order in store, on the same catalog.](https://www.ordering.co/platform/ordering-kiosk/) - [BuildOrdering Call CenterYour agents take phone orders into the same system.](https://www.ordering.co/platform/ordering-call-center/) - [BuildMulti-store orderingOne storefront and one app for every location.](https://www.ordering.co/platform/multi-store-ordering/) - [BuildRestaurant appThe same native apps for a single restaurant brand instead of a marketplace.](https://www.ordering.co/platform/restaurant-app/) ## Put your brand on the home screen.
