There are no assigned hours, no minimum quotas, and no managers—just log into the Shipt Shopper app, browse available orders, claim the ones that fit your financial goals, and start getting paid.

- Real-Time Member Communication: Shipt prides itself on "over-communication." When an item is out of stock, you will use the app's integrated messaging feature to text the member, suggest high-quality replacements, and ensure their satisfaction before heading to the register.
- Checkout & Delivery: Check out seamlessly using the provided Shipt prepaid card. Load the groceries safely into your vehicle and utilize GPS to execute a secure, friendly delivery to the member's doorstep.
