Transfer Your Prescriptions Quickly
Have prescriptions at other pharmacies? It’s now even easier to transfer your prescriptions to Alto - just take a photo of your current medication’s label and we’ll do the rest! Select “Add medications” from the main page in the app and upload a photo that clearly shows:
Medication/Rx#
Pharmacy name
Pharmacy contact information
Our team will coordinate the transfer, search for any savings on your medications, and reach out when it’s time to schedule your free delivery.
At the doctor’s office? Tell them your pharmacy of choice is Alto and show the staff our handy pharmacy info card. It’s available in the top left corner (click the Info Card icon) and pick the Alto location closest to you.
As soon as your prescription is ready, we’ll reach out within the hour to schedule your free delivery. It’s really that simple.
Choose How You Pay
With our latest iOS app release, you can now check out with Apple Pay. This feature allows you to make contactless, secure purchases. To set up Apple Pay on your device, follow these instructions.
You can also manage other payment options (including FSA/HSA, debit and credit cards, and automatic funds transfer) in the Payment Methods menu in your Account settings. And Android users - we didn’t forget you.
Delivery On Your Terms
Our free, same-day courier delivery model means you’ll never need to go to the pharmacy again. Pick the day and delivery window that works best and let us know if we should deliver to your home or office. You can designate a safe place for packages to be left if you won’t be home. We also offer contact-free signature capture for those expensive medications.
Your medications will be hand-delivered by a member of our local courier team. Not sure if we deliver to your neighborhood? View our full list of locations here.
Stay on Track
Busy schedules mean it can be hard to remember when to take your medications. With custom medication reminders, it’s easier to stay on top of your prescriptions. Head to “Reminders,” select the prescription you’d like to set a reminder for and input the specifics of your medication’s schedule: day(s) of the week, time(s) of day, amounts.
You’ll receive a push notification at the scheduled time and once you've taken your medication, you can check off the dose in the app to track your progress. To turn on push notifications select “Settings” on your phone, tap “Notifications,” and select “Allow notifications” for the Alto app.
Never Miss a Dose
Future You will thank you when you turn on Auto Refills for recurring medications to automatically receive refill deliveries right on schedule. Plans change? We’ll confirm the delivery ahead of time in case there’s anything you need to update.
