About this app

Easy order, Quicker delivery


Welcome to the New Friends Pharmacy App

With the new Friends app, we’ve created an enhanced experience that offers convenience to our Friends customers. Now you can navigate through the store more easily with features that make viewing points, creating shopping lists and ordering and collecting your medication easier. We’ve even added a deals corner so that you’re rewarded for buying products you love.

Here are some of the features you can enjoy while using the new Friends app:

Message Centre

All your push notifications and accouterments are shown in the new message center, giving you access to alerts whenever you need them.

Scripts

For chronic medication, add repeat prescriptions to make it even easier to order and collect your medication without having to queue every time. You can also take a photo and send in your prescription so by the time you get to the shop its ready for collection.

Deals corner

Our deals corner is an interesting feature which will give discounts that are advertised. This will essentially put money back into your pocket as you buy the products you need.

OTC

With the new Friends pharmacy app, you can buy your otc products online. They are arranged in such a way that it is easy to browse and get extra information about what you need. This is a first in Botswana.

Whatsapp

In our new app have included an embedded Whatsapp icon that enables easy communication to the shop.

Live Order tracking

In the new Friends pharmacy app, you have the ability to track your order live and see how quickly it is getting to you. This will also be convenient if you order a home delivery but you stuck in the office as you can verify location of drop off on your phone.

Click and Pick

Our new Friends app also allows you choose to pick your prescription from the shop. This will save you from queuing up.
Easy login and directions

Our new Friends pharmacy is designed for easy log in with Facebook. Giving directions for delivery is also made effortless.

The Friends app is free and available for anyone to use. Whether you’ve been a customer for a short while or a lifetime, you can enjoy the convenience of having your favorite pharmacy at your fingertips.
