Delivery or Pickup? Getting the Most Out of the Waly Market App

Waly Market is designed to get what you need from local stores to your door with as little friction as possible. But a few features quietly make the whole experience better once you know they are there. Here is a short tour.

Delivery or pickup: your choice, every time

For any store, you can choose delivery or pickup. Delivery brings your order to your door within the store's delivery area. Pickup lets you order ahead from anywhere and collect it when it is ready, skipping the line entirely. Ordering lunch near the office? Pickup can be faster and cheaper. Restocking groceries after a long day? Delivery to your kitchen is hard to beat. You decide per order.

Watch it happen with live tracking

Once your order is on the way, you can follow it in real time on the map: from the store, to your driver's route, to your doorstep. No more wondering whether dinner is five minutes or thirty minutes away. You see the estimate update as it goes, so you can plan around it.

Photo proof, so you never wonder

Choose leave at the door and your driver takes a photo the moment your order is dropped off. You get that photo as confirmation, which means no guessing about whether it arrived and no orders sitting unnoticed in a lobby. It is a small thing that removes a surprising amount of worry.

Order now, or plan your whole week ahead. The app works either way.

Schedule for later

You do not have to order for right now. Schedule delivery or pickup for a specific window later today or later this week. Planning a dinner? Schedule the grocery order to arrive an hour before you start cooking. Some stores accept scheduled pickup even when they are closed, so you can line up tomorrow morning's order tonight and it will be waiting when they open.

Favorite the places you love

When you find a store you return to, favorite it. Your favorites are one tap away, and reordering your usual takes seconds. Over time the app becomes a map of your neighborhood the way you actually use it: your grocer, your two or three go-to restaurants, the market with the ingredients you cannot get anywhere else.

Pay securely, tip fairly

Payments are processed securely in the app through our payment partner, so you never handle cash at the door and your full card number is never stored by us. When you tip, one hundred percent of it goes to your driver. It is a straightforward way to say thank you to the person who brought your order across town.

Shop the whole neighborhood

Most of all, remember that Waly Market is not just takeout. It is restaurants, grocery stores, international markets, and retail shops in one place. The same app that brings you dinner can restock your pantry, find the specific ingredients your recipes call for, and deliver something from the shop down the avenue. Explore by category and you will probably discover a store nearby you did not know delivered.

That is the whole idea: everything you need, from the stores that feel like home, delivered. Open the app, favorite a couple of local spots, and let your neighborhood come to you.

Everything you need, delivered.

From the stores that feel like home. Waly Market is now serving New York City.
