How a drop works

Every drop runs on the same week. Orders close before the driver shops, so nothing is bought on a guess and nothing goes to waste.

  1. Your driver opens a drop

    They pick the stores, the stops and the time orders close, then send the drop to the group.

    Monday
  2. You order from your phone

    Browse what each store has, choose your stop, and pay your driver when you pick up.

    Until Wednesday, 11 pm
  3. They shop the city

    One run, one pick list grouped by store. Cold items ride in the cooler.

    Friday morning
  4. You pick up near home

    Show the QR code on your order at your stop. The Updates list in the app tells you when the driver arrives.

    Friday evening

For families

DropSpot groups are invite-only. Ask the driver in your town for a link, open it on your iPhone, and you're in once they approve you.

Order by the close time, pick your stop, and pay your driver at pickup. The app's Updates list shows when they arrive at your stop.

For the person who makes the run

If you already come back from the city with orders for half the neighborhood, DropSpot keeps it organized.

  • A catalog built from the stores you already shop
  • Weekly drops from a saved template
  • A pick list by store and a roster for every stop
  • What you kept, after stores and fees, for every drop
