What should the pharmacy discount app contain?
Online catalog: Even without registration, a catalog with all products is available. On the main page, you can see the sorting of drugs alphabetically. A wide range of analog medicines are presented.
Bonuses/Discounts: There should also be given a category “Bonuses”. It can display products with a reduced price or the option of discount coupons. For convenience, the name and price should already be visible in the list. The user should always be aware of whether the product is in stock.
Search function: The search function is extremely simple. When a person clicks on the searching field, the inscription “enter the name of the drug” is displayed. The person puts the cursor in the field and prints the name of the drug. In order for the visitor not to search for common medicines for a long time, popular queries are shown under the search bar. Among them, the most popular queries in a particular online pharmacy should be displayed.
Product card – content and execution
Here’s what should be on the first screen of the product card:

When scrolling down it is important to place the product description. At a minimum, it is worth adding instructions to the drug. In order not to make the card too long, you can implement opening instructions by clicking or in a separate tab on the page. A good option is when the user can immediately open the desired section of the instructions.
The procedure for making a purchase/an order
If you analyze the purchase carefully, detailed information is displayed when opening the product and there is an opportunity to find out about the manufacturer. A “Buy Now” button is displayed next to each drug. When you click it, the products are added into the shopping cart.

All data is stored in your personal account, even the delivery addresses are saved, which you can change or add, respectively.
How do I pay for the purchase of medicines through the app?
Payment for medicines can be carried out in two ways: online and offline. This means you either enter your card details in the meds app and pay for the order, or you use the pickup service and pay for medicines on the spot. The application will not insist on paying online, because each user should have the right to choose.
Another huge plus is that the data left in the online pharmacy application is completely safe. The pharmacy app should have a high protection level and antivirus programs to prevent the leakage of personal information.
