Vol 16 · · App 2.5.6
Design every screen of your app, curbside “I’m here,” store links that open your app, and more
Bring your brand to every screen of your mobile app, let curbside customers tell you they've arrived, send store links straight into your app, and more.
Design every screen of your mobile app
What changed: Your colors now carry through every screen of your app, from Home and the menu to the cart, orders, wallet, loyalty, account, and group orders. Choose your bottom navigation, including a Glass style on iPhone, and preview it all on a full iPhone frame that taps through like the real app. Banners have a fresh card design, with your photo in the circle.
Why it matters: Your app looks like your brand from the first screen to the last, and you can see exactly what customers will see before you save.
Access: In your Gegsy dashboard, go to Mobile App → Design Studio. Customers see the new design in app version 2.5.5 or later.

Curbside "I'm here" and customer-confirmed pickup
What changed: Curbside customers can tap I'm here when they pull up, and your team sees Arrived on the order in Live Orders and on the order details page. Customers can also confirm pickup, or confirm an in-house delivery, themselves, which completes the order. These buttons sit right on the order cards on your online store and in your app.
Why it matters: Your team knows the moment a customer is outside, and orders close out without anyone having to mark them complete.
Access: Works automatically on your online store and in your app (version 2.5.5 or later). Staff see arrivals in Live Orders.

Store links open in your app
What changed: Links to your menu, items, orders, and group orders on your gegsy.app address or your custom domain now open right in your app when the customer has it installed. Tapping an order notification opens that order, even when it launches the app.
Why it matters: Customers who already have your app land in it instead of a browser, where ordering is fastest and loyalty is right there.
Access: Works automatically for customers on app version 2.5.5 or later.
Choose where a campaign takes customers
What changed: Campaigns now have a When tapped setting. Send customers to an item, a menu category, a coupon that's applied automatically, a page in your app, or a web link.
Why it matters: A campaign about a new item or a deal takes customers straight to it, which turns more taps into orders.
Access: Available on the Pro plan. In your Gegsy dashboard, go to Marketing → Campaigns, open a campaign, and choose an option under When tapped.

Choose where loyalty bonuses apply
What changed: Sign-up, order, and referral bonuses each have an Applies to setting: Mobile App, Web Storefront, or both. A first-order bonus counts only the first order placed on the channels you choose.
Why it matters: Use bonuses to grow your app audience, or reward online customers too. It's your call for each bonus.
Access: In your Gegsy dashboard, go to Marketing → Loyalty and choose Applies to for each bonus. Bonuses apply in your mobile app unless you also choose Web Storefront.
