Learn Relay in Minutes. Run Your Entire Fulfillment from One Place.
Pick your role to jump straight to the step-by-step guide. Setup takes minutes — from there Relay does the heavy lifting, every order tracked, inventory updated, customer informed.
Merchants
Send every customer order to your fulfillment center and track it live. No skipped orders, guaranteed.
Fulfillment centers
Receive orders from multiple merchants and automate inventory — all in one place.
Riders
Get customer details on your phone and mark delivered on arrival. No one calls to ask if it got there — the app already shows them.
Every delivery. Everything you need.
Every delivery your FC dispatches lands on your phone with the customer's address, the items to collect, a one-tap call button, and the PIN entry to confirm drop-off. Set up and you're in the dispatch queue.
Riders can't sign up alone.
Your FC adds you first and sends a code over WhatsApp. It looks like this:
Haven't received one? Ask your FC admin — they invite from Profile → People → Riders.
Step 1: Get a code from your FC.
Riders can't sign up alone — that's deliberate. Your fulfillment center adds you from their app first and texts you a unique invite code.
- Code looks like FCR-A7F2E9.
- Comes in over WhatsApp or SMS.
- Haven't received one? Ask them — they invite from Profile → People → Riders.
Step 2: Download Relay. Pick Rider.
Install the app. Open it. Choose your role.
- Tap Rider on the role picker.
- Or — if you copied your code first — tap “I have an invite code” to skip ahead.
Step 3: Paste your code. Tap Join.
From the role picker route, open Profile and tap Enter invite code. Paste. Tap Join. You're linked to your FC.
- Profile → Enter invite code.
- Paste FCR-XXXXXX.
- Tap Join.
Step 4: Flip Online when you're ready to work.
Your FC only assigns deliveries to riders who are online. Toggle on at the start of your shift, off when you stop.
- Top of the home screen — Online / Offline switch.
- Active deliveries stay with you if you go offline mid-shift.
Step 5: Open the order. Pick up. Mark Picked up.
Assigned orders land on your Orders tab. Tap one for everything you need: customer name, phone, address with a Maps link, items to collect from the FC, a one-tap call button.
- Collect the items at the warehouse.
- Tap Picked up — the status flows to the merchant, the FC, and the customer in real time.
Step 6: On arrival, ask for the PIN.
The customer has a 6-digit PIN. It's how everyone confirms the delivery actually happened. No PIN, no completed delivery.
- Type the PIN into the order screen.
- Snap a proof-of-delivery photo.
- Cash-on-delivery? Collect the money and mark it paid.
- Tap Delivered. Done.
Get a code from your FC.

- Code looks like FCR-A7F2E9.
- Comes in over WhatsApp or SMS.
- Haven't received one? Ask them — they invite from Profile → People → Riders.
