HDFC SmartBuy steps to order

[Batman]

I have been ordering on SmartBuy for about 3 years now. I am making this post to check if one or more of these steps can be reduced.

1. Go to smartbuy -> Login -> Shop -> Choose brand website
2. Brand website (redirected through Smartbuy) opens up. Ensure cart is empty.
3. Add items to cart, place the order using an HDFC CC.
4. Ensure the OTP SMS reads something like PHARMEASY V or MYNTRA VIA to ensure SmartBuy has been factored in.

Can I reduce any of the steps here?

No need to ensure cart is empty or of adding items to cart after opening through smartbuy
Pre added items also work, it just has to be paid through smartbuy it's a payment offer it's not cash karo

I heard yesterday on YouTube, cart must be empty.

As said by @Kushagra_ , we can have items in the cart. I add the items in pharmeasy app and pay in smartbuy

Then you heard today on technofino that that's not necessary 🙂

How soon does the 5x RPs get tracked when using Smartbuy>Myntra route?
Does the message similar to below come on 3rd day of txn?

This SMS comes exactly 3 days after txn when buying GVs on Gyftr:
"Reward Points Credited: 675 To HDFC Bank Credit Card xxxx On 19/MAY/2025 Towards SmartBuy_May25_Bonus_10X_RP_................"
