As an Instacart+ member, you can favorite any shopper who previously shopped and delivered an order for you.
At this time, the “favorite a shopper” feature is only available to select Instacart+ members in the Instacart app. Check back soon as we plan to expand this feature.
Soon, you’ll have the option to schedule orders with your favorite shoppers once they submit their availability. Note, not all shoppers will be available as a favorite shopper.

- Tap Orders in the lower-left corner of the app’s homepage.
- Select the order that was shopped by the shopper you want to favorite.
