Growcer v3.1.0 Release: Features, Enhancements, and Updates

The online grocery industry is constantly evolving, and staying competitive requires continuous innovation. Growcer, a top grocery eCommerce solution, has launched its latest version, Growcer v3.1.0, bringing advanced features and key enhancements to enhance user experience, streamline operations, and optimize platform performance.

This latest release focuses on delivering a more seamless shopping experience for Buyers while empowering Sellers with more control over pricing, delivery, and payments. From distance-based delivery charges to live tracking, new payment methods, and platform optimizations, Growcer v3.1.0 brings a suite of upgrades aimed at enhancing the overall functionality of the system.

New Features Added

1. Distance-based delivery charges: 

Previously, delivery charges on the platform were static, applying the same fee to all Buyers irrespective of their location. With Growcer v3.1.0, Sellers can now configure delivery charges dynamically based on the Buyer’s address, ensuring a fairer and more flexible pricing structure.

Key Highlights:

• Delivery Range Configuration: Sellers can define a fixed delivery range (e.g., 6 km) with a corresponding fixed delivery charge (e.g., $10 for up to 6 km).
• Variable Delivery Charges: For distances exceeding the fixed range, Sellers can specify an additional charge per kilometer (e.g., $2 per km beyond 6 km).
• Automated Calculation: The system automatically computes the total delivery charges during checkout based on the Buyer’s address, ensuring transparency and accuracy.

2. Live Tracking of order delivery

The new live tracking feature allows Buyers to monitor their order’s real-time location on an integrated map, increasing transparency and reducing delivery-related inquiries.

Key Highlights:

• Real-Time Tracking: Once an order is marked as “Out for Delivery,” the Delivery Agent’s location updates live.
• Multi-Platform Access: Buyers can track orders via the web dashboard or the Buyer app.

• Web Dashboard: Buyers navigate to Orders > My Orders > Orders Listing Page and click “Track” to view live order status.
• Buyer App: Buyers go to Account > Orders > Select an order and tap the order status to access tracking.

3. New Payment Methods:

To provide buyers with greater payment flexibility, Growcer has now integrated Paystack, a trusted and secure payment gateway commonly used across Africa, along with Bank Transfer as an additional payment method. These new options offer customers more convenient and secure ways to complete their grocery purchases.

The Admin can activate these options via Settings > Payment Methods in the Admin panel, providing Buyers with greater flexibility and ensuring smoother transactions.

4. Hard-coded light mode in the apps:

Previously, the Buyer and Delivery Agent apps adapted to the device’s theme settings. However, due to multiple UI/UX complexities, Growcer v3.1.0 now features a hard-coded light mode for consistency.

Reasons for This Update:

• Simplified Theme Management: Maintaining separate light/dark themes without admin panel control would add complexity.
• Product Image Compatibility: Sellers would need to upload images with dark backgrounds to accommodate dark mode, complicating the user experience.
• Ease of Installation: Managing dual-color themes would require additional installation effort.

Enhancements In Existing Features

• Code Optimization of Web & Apps along with data upload

Significant optimizations have been implemented to enhance performance across the web and mobile apps, improving loading times, scalability, and responsiveness.

Additionally, the Growcer Live Demo site now runs with over 100,000 inventory items, demonstrating the platform’s capability to support large-scale operations efficiently.

• Improved Homepage Slide Management in Buyer App

The Admin now has better control over homepage slides in the Buyer app, making it easier to manage promotional banners, seasonal offers, and key marketing messages to enhance user engagement.

• App release versions

Growcer v3.1.0 introduces clear versioning for app releases, allowing Clients to track updates and improvements seamlessly.

• All-in-one Google Map Key

Previously, separate API keys were required for Google Maps integration across different platforms (Web, Android, and iOS). Growcer v3.1.0 simplifies this process by introducing a single Google Map key, making setup more efficient.
