Features of the new Puregold Mobile app include “item barcode scanning, store pickup, and real-time updates on order status and stock replenishing,” Globe said in a statement on Friday.

The new app also allows Puregold shoppers to link their perks card for them to easily monitor their points and get access to discounts.

Globe said customers may use their GCash accounts for payment. The app, which is already free for download on Google Playstore and App Store, also has other payment options such as credit card and cash upon pick up.

“In-store pickup is currently available in select Puregold branches in Greater Manila Area,” Globe added.
