How To Use YiHaoDian: Number One Store

2017-01-21 ShanghaiWOWeng


 



YiHaoDian (literally meaning “number one store” is an online grocery and retail store app. YiHaoDian stays ahead of the online grocery game with constant technologic updates and perks. Between sophisticated location settings and categorized merchandise the online retail giant has quickly become the Wal-Mart of the online world. 


STEP ONE: Download YiHaoDian from the Apple or Android App Store




Visit your devices app store and download the app that will revolutionize your grocery shopping. No more long queues, hours spent navigating a cart through a maze of small Chinese children, or being bombarded with questions in a language you don’t understand. 


STEP TWO: Navigate the home screen





Like most Chinese apps and online shopping centers, YiHaoDian throws everything at you all at once with flashing lights, pop ups, and a million things to choose from on the home screen that opens with the app. Don’t be afraid. Quickly take yourself to the bottom right corner and click on 我的一号店 (My #1 Store). 


STEP THREE: Register! 





On this next page, you’ll prompted with a large red button to log in. DON’T HIT THE RED BUTTON. You’ll instead want to hit the bottom button to register and make your account. 


STEP FOUR: Create Account With CHINESE Phone Number





If you’ve ever made any type of online account in China you’re already familiar with this process. Insert your Chinese digits. Receive a text message with a code, insert the code, and POOF! You’ve just become a member of your first online grocery store! This is a major step into adulthood. 

 

STEP FIVE: Personalize Your Account






After your account is made they will take you directly to a page to add some personal preferences to try and cater ads and suggestion lists to what you’re interested in. Technology has entered an area where it likes to get to know us, before it takes the next step. If you have the time, throw these in a translator and select what matches your preference. 


STEP SIX: Input Your Address




The last technical matter you’ll face is a simply address form in which you enter your name (max of twelve characters; “Thanks, China”), then your province/city/district, your street address, your phone number to confirmation, and lastly select what type of address you entered (home, work, local strip club, etc.). For home address select 我的家 (my home). 

 

STEP SEVEN: Start Your Online Shopping-Spree





While navigating the app, there are many ways to find what you’re looking for, and even more ways to find what you’re not looking for. The bottom tabs (left to right) take you from the home screen, to categories, to discovery section, to your shopping cart, and then lastly to your personal account. 

 

STEP EIGHT: Purchasing Stuff! (In this case Baijiu) 





When you click on an item to add to your cart you can either keep searching or go to your shopping cart to complete the order. Even in the shopping cart however, your not-yet-confirmed-purchase is largely overshadowed by more ads. To move ahead with your purchase, hit the large red button in the bottom left corner. 


STEP NINE: Complete Your Purchase





There are a few options on this screen, starting with delivery information (usually about 1-day), receipt request, and then payment options. For payment, you can easily link your Alipay (支付宝) account with the app for convenience sake. Once you’re finished here simply hit the large red button in the bottom left and you’ve successfully completed your first purchase at the Number One Store! 


ENJOY!
