With consumers shopping on online grocery platforms using their bank and card details, a fast and secure check in was the necessity of the hour. The ‘sign in with Apple’ on the Bigbasket application on iOS platform helped provide a seamless experience.
“Especially during the COVID times, a fast sign-up flow helps consumer experience,” says Tejas Vyas, Product Head, Bigbasket. BigBasket was already closely related to Apple’s App Accelerator for developing this feature, and therefore the feature happened to roll out during the pandemic.

These insights are helpful for bb to know key areas of improvement and make relevant additions to its iOS app roadmap,” adds Vyas.
