An added benefit is our virtual bonus card which lets you earn rewards for purchasing the products you love. Our app features a sticker book that will be virtually stamped every time you purchase a promotional product from one of our Dis-Chem stores. Once you’ve earned enough stickers you can choose your FREE gift from the list of our bonus products in-store.

The Dis-Chem app is free and available for anyone to use. Whether you’ve been a customer for a short while or a lifetime, you can enjoy the convenience of having your favourite pharmacy at your fingertips.

Ratings and reviews

Terrible app, not user friendly. Crashes, freezes and generally doesn't work as it should. Searching for a specific product returns unrelated products, but when searching for different products, the initial product pops up. Delivery service is terrible and never on time. All round bad experience with the app.

An embarrassingly dismal attempt to copy the Checkers app. Dis-chem's digital touch points showcase an overcomplicated and unintuitive approach to UX. It's likely that the backend tech stack is comprised of complex, legacy systems. From the website to this 'app', there are severe shortcomings in basic functionality for users. Like many others I tried using this app but found it quicker and more efficient to drive to a store than to struggle with a terrible UI. I've uninstalled it.

When ordering repeat script, the address doesn't appear unless I first open my profile. Also when ordering a repeat script for DELIVERY, it forces me to input a collection date and then asks me if I want a reminder to collect the script. 3 years later and still the same bug.
