Shoppers with Shipt have total control over when they’d like to work, as well as which parts of their area they’d like to shop. Shipt Shoppers set their own schedules according to their busy lives! They shop for and deliver groceries to Shipt's members within a requested time frame. Scheduling, accepting orders, and shopping orders are all done through the Shipt Shopper app.
There is no cost to sign up to become a shopper with Shipt. Once you're activated as a shopper, you'll be able to start claiming and completing orders.
As a shopper, you will be responsible for covering the cost of your gas, data usage, etc. However, as an independent contractor, you can file many of these as expenses when you do your taxes! Consult a tax professional for more information.
Shoppers with Shipt are independent contractors and are paid per order. Orders will be offered with an estimated pay based on the effort it takes to complete the order.
Payment can be accessed instantly once per day* or received via direct deposit every Friday for the work completed the previous Monday through Sunday. This will include pay for orders and 100% of any tips received.
*Note: Shoppers must agree to the Stripe Connect terms and conditions in the app as well as have at least one successful weekly payout from Shipt in order to access Instant Pay.

Absolutely! As an independent contractor, you have complete control over your schedule. If you want to take a break, be it for a short or long period of time, you can do that with no trouble. That flexibility is one of the many benefits of working as a shopper with Shipt!
You can! Shoppers choose the areas in which they are willing to deliver. When you apply, you select a large area called a “Metro” where you will be shopping. These are usually entire metropolitan areas.
After you become a shopper, you can select areas called "Zones" within that metro to shop in. You will receive offers for orders based on your selected zones, and can choose which of the orders you take as well!
There is no minimum requirement for the number of orders you have to accept per week, per month, or per year. Shoppers are independent contractors. As such, they choose how many orders to take!
Shipt does not withhold any taxes from our shoppers' weekly paychecks.
As independent contractors, shoppers with Shipt are responsible for filing their own taxes. Shipt will send a 1099 form to shoppers who earn above a certain amount at the end of the year.
