How do Shipt shoppers pay for groceries?

When a shopper receives and accepts an order, Shipt will fund this prepaid card with the approximate amount of the order. Typically, the company provides extra funds on the card in case of unexpected groceries. A shopper should never have to pay out of pocket for an item.

The shopper then fulfills the order, making any substitutions or additions requested by the customer during shopping, and then checks out. Shipt uses the card price when determining the price of items available, but there is a markup, just as there is a markup on many items you would purchase from Amazon or other online vendors).

Upon delivery, the order is finalized, and the customer is charged. Several factors affect the Shipt shopper pay rate. Drivers receive $5 for every trip that they complete, in addition to 7.5% of the total order cost.

For example, let's say that a customer places a $200 order. You'll keep 7.5% of the order, or $15. Add this to the $5 base pay, and you'll receive $20 for the order. Drivers also get to keep 100% of the tips they receive.
