Shipt HQ provides opportunities to earn additional income through bonus pay. Communication will be sent to shoppers when a bonus is being offered detailing the parameters of what is needed to qualify for the bonus and when payment will be received. In order to receive a payout for a bonus, shoppers need to meet all qualifications indicated for that particular bonus. 

Qualifying orders will vary based on a variety of parameters. For example, if a shopper receives a bonus opportunity to complete 15 shops from Saturday–Sunday to earn $75 in bonus pay, the shopper will only earn $75 if they complete 15 qualifying orders within the designated time period.

• After a bonus ends, information about it will remain accessible from the Payment History screen for two weeks.
• You'll be paid the specified bonus pay on top of your regular earnings the following week after the bonus ends.
• Each bonus can only be earned once. For example, if the bonus is to complete 5 orders between 2-5 p.m. to earn $20 and you complete 10 orders, you will only receive $20 despite completing more than 5 shops during the bonus period.

How to Track Your Progress

When a bonus is available, you’ll see the Earn bonus section displayed at the top of the Available Orders, My Orders, and Payment History screens.*
*Note: Certain bonus opportunities do not display in the bonus tracker feature at this time. However, all orders completed toward bonuses that are not featured in-app will also count toward other active bonus opportunities in your area that are featured in-app.

• Tap Track progress to see a list of current and recent bonus opportunities as well as the progress bar for each.

Reviewing Bonus Opportunities

From the Earn Bonus screen, you can select each bonus to review details on order qualifications and to see which of your completed orders have qualified.

• Tap each bonus opportunity to review the criteria that must be met for an order to qualify.
  *Note: All bonus qualifications will be based on how the order was offered and the information displayed on the order offer card.

As you continue to shop for qualifiable orders, the progress bar will update to show how many orders you have completed toward the bonus.

Bonus Timing

Some bonus opportunities will be for an entire day or a range of days, where all delivery windows will count toward the bonus.

• For example, “Today only” or “June 16–June 18”

Some bonus opportunities will be time-specific and display a range of delivery windows, in which orders must be scheduled for to qualify. Time-flexible orders will not count toward time-specific bonuses.

• Time-flexible orders will not count toward time-specific bonuses.
  • For example, “Today, 2–5pm”
    • An order with a specified delivery window of “Today, 3–4pm” would qualify for that bonus.
    • A time-flexible order with a delivery window of “Today, by 5pm” would not qualify for that bonus.
      
      
• If a bundle contains orders with adjacent delivery windows, the individual orders will count towards time-specific bonuses based on their specific delivery window.
  • For example, “Today, 2–5pm.”
    • A bundle contains orders with adjacent delivery windows and shows both “Today, 3-4pm” and “Today, 4-5pm” on the offer card.
    • The order with a specified delivery window of “Today, 4-5pm” would qualify for that bonus.
    • The adjacent order with a specified delivery window of “Today, 5-6pm” would not qualify for that bonus.
      
      
• Orders with 2-hour delivery windows will count toward time-specific bonuses as long as the delivery window start time is within the bonus timeframe. 
  • For example, “Today, 2-5pm”
    • An order with a delivery window of “Today, 2-4pm” would count towards that bonus because the start time of the delivery window is during the bonus timeframe.
    • An order with a delivery window of “Today, 1-3pm” would not count towards that bonus because the start tome of the delivery window is before the bonus timeframe.

Bonus Details

Each bonus will have unique criteria, which can be reviewed on the Bonus Details screen. The options of potential criteria include order types, certification, store, delivery window, metro, and zone. 

• If “All” is displayed under a section, it means there are no specific criteria for that option. For example, there could be metro-specific criteria where all zones would qualify.
• For bonus opportunities that do not require a certification, such as alcohol or prescription delivery, “None required” will display.

You can also keep track of which orders qualified or did not quality toward a bonus from the Bonus Details screen. 

• Orders that are delivered later than what was offered will not be considered an on-time delivery and will display under the “Non-qualified shops” section. 
• Promo orders and orders that are delivered late will never qualify toward a bonus. 
• For an order to qualify for a time-specific bonus, it must be delivered within the scheduled time frame. If the order has an "Early ok" label or the customer indicates they would like an early delivery, it will qualify as long as the chosen delivery window is within the scheduled incentive time frame. Below are some examples of qualified and non-qualified orders. 
  • Ex: order has a delivery window of 3-4pm with an Early Ok label and there is an incentive for windows from 3-8pm. If the shopper delivers early at 1pm, the order will still qualify for the incentive because the window is inside the incentive parameters. 
  • Ex: order has a delivery window of 9-10pm with an Early Ok label and there is an incentive for windows from 4-9pm. If the shopper delivers early at 8:30pm this order doesn't qualify for the incentive because the window is outside the incentive parameters. 
  • Time-flexible orders that do not have a specific delivery window but can be delivered at any time before the "deliver by" time will not qualify.
    • Ex: order says deliver by 9pm. Shopper picks up at 11am and delivers any time before 9pm. This order does not qualify for an incentive.
