Yes, D&D Beyond is an entirely digital product - note that I said product, rather than products, because this is a fully integrated digital reference & toolset, with way more tools being added in the future.
If you pre-order Xanathar's Guide to Everything from D&D Beyond, the additional racial feats are a bonus that you receive, for use on this site.
If you buy a physical book instead, you'll still have the latest official D&D content, but won't be able to use it in the tools on D&D Beyond, nor will you receive the pre-order bonuses from D&D Beyond.
At some point in the future, when homebrew of feats is added to D&D Beyond, these additional feats will likely be available to everyone who has a subscription.

May I offer a suggestion? I also pre-ordered XGtE, however, I had not idea where the bonus racial feats appeared. I posted on the bug/support forum to find out. Can these type of bonuses be sent to us on our account page? Or an email with the appropriate link? Or any method other than to wonder where my pre-order bonuses are? I do hope when the app comes out that I will not spend a week wondering how to download it.
I mean I assume its in the works, but I bought the pre-order and want to make sure I get credit for it.
And assume that we will be able to download it soon?
There is still no release date for the Alpha access. Possibly we'll get more information on that in the livestream on the 22nd. If you were among the first 10k (if I remember correctly that was the number) to preordered XGTE you'll get your alpha access when it's available.

Don't worry, you should be fine for alpha access to the app - as mentioned above, we don't have a date for closed alpha test yet, though there is currently an internal test build being tested, so hopefully it'll be soon! :)

Any details on the Alpha / Beta Mobile App?

Well I bought it 10/30.
And it said Alpha Access on the pre-order.
And I pretty much bought it so I could get the alpha access.
So, I would hope I would get it .
But THANKS for the INFO ! This helps!
