While these stats show you should be taking your grocery business to mobile platforms, here’s a list of features that you should include.

User-registration or login
The buyers can have their separate identities in the app and so they should be allowed to create their own account with name, location and other details on registration. With the account, they could see history all orders, repeat orders, save delivery locations, save favourite items in wishlist and lots more. 

Organised menu and products view
Provide a vivid menu view in your app where the buyers can see all the categories along with the dropdown of different subcategories. Assuming there are hundreds of products, an organised menu is a must to avoid confusion.

Smart search for products
Groceries include a vast range of products and so it’s not always convenient to search a product by scrolling through tens and hundreds of categories. Smart voice search or search box throwing instant suggestions as one type (with autocomplete, autocorrection) is needed.

Effective product filtering
Let the buyers refine and filter their quest for a product by different criteria namely, price range, brand, product type, discounts, and many more.

Instant cart
Make the shopping cart instantly accessible to the buyers in the app. They can add an item as they view it by a single click on the ‘buy’ button. 

Wishlist 
Let the customer add any item into the ‘wishlist’ for purchasing later. This helps them to keep all their favourite items saved which they do not need presently but want to buy sometime later.
