When a shop is created, it will be in unpublished state. When a shop is Unpublished it will not appear in the search results in Zagl App. But don’t worry, publishing is quite easy and you can find more information about publishing your shop here.
We review every shop to ensure that the store listed in Zagl is appropriate and it belongs to its rightful owners. And, also a quick over view to see if most basic details are set up correctly.
You can submit your shop for review once you have completed the steps outlined below.
QR Code
As you can see above, every shop has a QR code created automatically and when your users scan it, it will take it directly to your shop on Zagl. This is your stores address and hence can be used in your social media and print media promotions. You can also print it on your menu, for more information about the QR Code and Short Link refer to this post.
QR Code is the direct route to your store on Zagl. Let your customers connect to your shop in a snap.

Opening Hours
To update your opening hours, goto Store Timings and click Update Timings. Timings are divided into 2 sessions, to account for cafes that have split timings.
For example, if you are open from:
- 10AM — 1PM for Pickup on Sundays
- 10AM — 1PM and 4PM — 10PM for Pickup on Mondays
You can enter the info as shown below:
Customer Contact
This will be shown to the customer on the App so they can contact you for any queries. This is mostly the contact info that comes up on Google.
Hint: For the contact person name, we recommend you provide a real person’s name rather than generic names like Store Manager, such that it gives an opportunity for the customer to connect with your store better.
Delivery Info
Use this section if you are doing deliveries. You can list all areas you deliver to and also specify the delivery charges applicable to that area. Remember to provide postcode, as the customer will use postcode to search for their area while ordering. Additionally you can also specify a Minimum Order Value for delivery, such that customers cannot place delivery orders if the order is less than this value.
Minimum order value for delivery is not inclusive of delivery charges
For example, if the item total is $19 and delivery charges is $5, the grand total is $24. If the min. order value for delivery is $20, then the customer cannot place the order value $19 is less then minimum required value $20.
This concludes the cafe getting started guide.
Once you have completed the setup, submit the cafe for review and then you are good to go.
