Instacart offers deal for new business users in North America

Instacart is offering free delivery and credit back for small businesses in the U.S. and Canada. 

Starting today (August 1), users that create an Instacart Business account for the first time will receive 2% credit back on orders over $250 when they sign up for a complimentary year-long Instacart+ membership, which offers free same-day delivery on orders over $35, as well as exclusive savings. 

"We know the demands on small businesses – especially offices and restaurants – have never been more acute as they navigate a new world of hybrid office schedules, persistent supply chain issues, labor shortages and much more," said Andrew Nodes, VP of business and supply chain at Instacart, in a statement. “To help ease that burden, we introduced Instacart Business earlier this year to help small businesses get the items they need while avoiding disruptive last-minute runs to the store. We're now taking it a step further by offering free Instacart+ to small businesses in the U.S. and Canada – creating more ways for businesses to save time and money so they can focus on serving their customers.”

Businesses that sign up can access other features including: access to thousands of business-friendly retailers; stock lists that can be shared with team members; re-ordering and auto-order capabilities; and flexible delivery options like same-day delivery, no-rush delivery and long-distance delivery.   

Additionally, Instacart said eligible businesses can soon access savings on tax-exempt items. The company will also be rolling out multi-seat accounts where multiple purchases can place orders and managers can set policies and optimize overall spend, paying one consolidated bill at the end of the month.
