Tipping - Instacart Help Center

Skip to main contentTipping

Tips are optional but a great way to show your shoppers appreciation and recognition for their excellent service. 100% of your tip goes directly to the shopper(s) shopping and delivering your order. If 2 shoppers fulfill your order, the tip splits evenly between them.

You can modify the tip while placing an order or after delivery. However, you can’t modify the tip while the order is in progress. You can increase your tip up to 14 days after delivery or reduce your tip up to 2 hours after delivery.
