The company values flexibility, inclusivity, and customer satisfaction, establishing a supportive environment for its independent contractors while providing exceptional service to its customers.

As a full-service shopper with Instacart, you become a vital part of this dynamic ecosystem. This role offers the unique opportunity to earn quickly while enjoying the flexibility to create a work schedule that suits your lifestyle. Full-service shoppers use the Instacart Shopper app to receive and manage orders from local stores, shop for the items as listed by customers, and personally deliver the purchases to the customers' doorsteps. This position is ideal for individuals seeking a flexible, entry-level opportunity that can be tailored around personal commitments such as school, other jobs, or family responsibilities.

Working as an Instacart full-service shopper means you have the potential to earn through weekly payments, with an option for instant cashout to manage your finances more efficiently. In addition to base earnings, there is the potential to earn tips from satisfied customers, as well as access to special promotions that can boost your overall income. The role requires reliable transportation and a recent smartphone to access the app and navigate orders effectively.

The company is committed to providing equal opportunities regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, veteran and disability status, or any other protected category.

Instacart also respects fair chance hiring practices, particularly in cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Philadelphia. This makes the position well suited for individuals seeking to re-enter the workforce or those looking for a fresh start. The independent contractor model of the employment means you can manage how much or how little you work, giving you control over your earnings and schedule. This job is perfect for self-starters who enjoy being active, meeting deadlines, and providing excellent customer service. As a full-service shopper, you help make essential food and products accessible to people in your community, making a real difference in their daily lives. Join Instacart today and be part of a growing and innovative company that values flexibility and entrepreneurship.
