Patients can browse, purchase, and track their orders directly through the app, while your practice earns up to 30% profit per order, with no inventory or fulfillment required.


Why it matters

Understanding how SkinDrop works for patients helps your team provide clear, consistent guidance during checkout and follow-ups.

When your staff understands the patient flow, it ensures:

  • Communicate clearly about what’s fulfilled by your practice vs. shipped by partner brands

  • Guide patients with confidence when asked about delivery or tracking

  • Understand what updates patients receive along the way and how returns are managed

  • A seamless experience that reinforces trust in your brand

SkinDrop extends your practice’s retail experience into a convenient, on-demand channel that patients already know how to use.


How Patients Purchase

1. Finding Products

Patients access SkinDrop products directly from the Products tab in your app’s Shop page.

They can:

  • Browse by category, concern, or brand

  • Filter products to find exactly what fits their skincare goals

  • Search by keyword for specific brands or ingredients

  • See recommended and featured products marked with a star icon

All SkinDrop products are high-end, dermatologist-curated brands, available for quick delivery.


2. Viewing Product Details

When patients tap a product, they’ll see:

  • Product images, sizes, and variants

  • Key benefits and usage details

  • Ingredient lists

  • Pricing for members vs. non-members

  • Estimated shipping time (typically 3–5 business days)

Products display clear information so patients can confidently choose what their provider recommends.


3. Adding to Cart and Checkout

Patients can:

  • Adjust the quantity and tap Add to Cart from the product page

  • View a free shipping threshold if your practice enables it at checkout

  • Review their order and confirm payment directly in-app

Orders are processed instantly, and patients receive confirmation with tracking details once the order ships.


Order Tracking and Delivery

After checkout, current and past orders appear under Products in the patient’s Wallet.

Each order shows:

  • Product name and quantity

  • Delivery status

  • Tracking link for shipment updates

2. Delivery Updates

Orders ship directly to the patient.

Patients can:

  • Tap to view real-time delivery progress through the tracking link in their Wallet

Returns and Refunds

If a patient needs to return an item, they can:

  • Open their order in the Products tab in their Wallet.

  • View the return policy and follow the listed steps
