Sixty60 will soon be available to more South Africans as it expands its service to selected Shoprite supermarkets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until recently, Sixty60 was only available at Checkers supermarkets and Hyper stores. However, this is set to change.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following a successful pilot in Gauteng and the Western Cape, Sixty60 will launch in 19 Shoprite stores across eight provinces. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A phased roll-out will ensure that each new location delivers the excellence and efficiency that has become synonymous with Sixty60.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoprite Sixty60 is already available at Shoprite Atlantis, Western Cape and Shoprite Jabulani in Soweto, Gauteng.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shoprite Kleinmond, Western Cape, and Shoprite Kriel in Ga-Nala, Mpumalanga will kick off the expansion this month.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Neil Schreuder, the company\u2019s chief of strategy and innovation, said they will introduce Shoprite Sixty60 to locations where it can have a meaningful impact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In a related announcement, Checkers is launching a new e-commerce website that brings the convenience of Sixty60 to even more shoppers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new Checkers e-commerce website allows South Africans to order products online using a browser rather than the Sixty60 mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is partly aimed at Huawei smartphone users, who do not enjoy the same access to mobile apps as Samsung, Apple, and other Android users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuawei is the third most popular mobile phone brand in South Africa. This means 2.6 million potential customers can shop on Sixty60 for the first time,\u201d Checkers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The retailer has beta-tested the new transactional platform through beta.sixty60.co.za over the last few months.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This testing phase helped Checkers to optimise performance and usability before rolling it out to all customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Sixty60 e-commerce site offers the same features and expansive product offerings as the mobile app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It lets customers browse, select, and pay for their orders easily while benefiting from real-time order tracking and grocery delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe service includes over 10,000 larger general merchandise products available for same-day delivery within precise sixty-minute time slots,\u201d Checkers said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The experience is seamless across the app and web, with accounts and shopping baskets automatically synced in real-time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means that Sixty60 customers will enjoy a consistent user journey whether they shop on desktop, mobile, tablet, or Smart TV.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Existing Sixty60 mobile app customers can log in to the new e-commerce site by entering their mobile number.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The sign-up process for new users is quick and easy. They are also automatically signed up for the Checkers Xtra Savings rewards programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Checkers Xtra Savings unlocks exclusive deals and premium rewards for a personalised shopping experience with added value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For additional security, Checkers uses a One-Time Password (OTP) system, ensuring customers can safely log in and complete their transactions with peace of mind.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
