To use your Instacart credit, simply enter the amount you want to use during checkout. Your credit will be applied to your order total automatically. If you have a remaining balance, it will be carried over to your next order.
Review your order and checkout.
When you’re ready to check out, review your order summary to make sure everything looks right—you can always adjust your order up until the time your shopper starts shopping.
Then, choose a payment method. If you have an Instacart Credit, you’ll see it as a payment option at checkout (as long as it’s not expired and there’s enough credit to cover your order total). Just select Instacart Credit as your payment method and enter the amount you’d like to use.
If you don’t have enough credit to cover your order total, you can use a different payment method for the remaining balance.
