When should I communicate with Prepaid customers?
Communication is key to providing excellent customer service. While the amount of communication needed will vary based on the substitution preference selected by the customer, experienced shoppers recommend sending the pre-formatted messages provided in-app for Prepaid orders, including the Introduction message and On the Way message.
How do I check out with a Prepaid order?
Once you are done shopping, you will be ready to check out.
For Prepaid orders, you do NOT need to:

Checkout processes for Prepaid orders vary by retailer. Click the links below to learn about the checkout process for each Prepaid retailer:
If there are items in the Cart that are not able to be delivered while starting the check out process, an error message will appear requesting that the item be returned to the shelf. Upon receipt of this message, you should return the listed items back to the appropriate shelf in the store and then tap the Items Returned button.
- The app will display a digital receipt with all the processed items
- Complete a Shipt audit with a store employee
Will I receive an in-store receipt for Prepaid orders?
No. Since Prepaid orders have already been paid for by the customer, you will not receive a paper receipt at the store. If the customer asks about a receipt at the time of delivery, you may tell them their receipt will be emailed to them from the retailer they ordered from.
Customers will also need to reach out to the retailer directly if they are in need of a gift receipt. Prepaid orders do not have in-store transactions so you are unable to get gift receipts if a customer asks you to.
What should I do if the customer is not home at the time of delivery?
If the customer is unresponsive when you arrive at the delivery address, you may try calling or messaging them. If you're unable to reach them after 10 minutes, remain at the delivery location and call Shipt Support to help you decide the best course of action to take.
