Zova

You got a new order. What now?

Updated October 2026

Short answer

Zova sends you a WhatsApp alert and the order appears in Sales, already paid. Tap Start making it (or Start packing it), then Mark ready, then Mark collected or Mark delivered.

You never have to check whether a customer "has sent it". An order only reaches you after the payment has gone through.

  1. 1

    You get a WhatsApp alert

    It tells you what was ordered and how much was paid.

  2. 2

    Tap Sales

    At the bottom of your dashboard. New orders have a badge. Orders and Appointments are on separate tabs.

  3. 3

    Check the order

    You'll see the customer's name and number, every item with the options they picked, any note they left, and whether it's They collect, You deliver or Rider (customer pays). You also see the Zova fee and You got ₦….

  4. 4

    Tap Start making it

    For ready stock it says Start packing it.

  5. 5

    Tap Mark ready

    You'll see Marked ready - customer notified. They get a WhatsApp message to collect, or that it's on the way.

  6. 6

    Tap Mark collected or Mark delivered

    When it's in their hands. That's the order done.

Check the reference before you hand over

Every order has a reference like ZV-BUSH-2D9Q. The customer shows it when they collect. Match it to the order in Sales.

Staff with their own logins can do all of this too, without seeing your money pages. See staff accounts.
