Orders containing alcohol have a separate service fee.

What is the temporary authorization hold on my card?

When you place your order Instacart places a temporary authorization hold for 15% higher than your total order at checkout. This authorization hold is placed in case your total is higher due to special requests, added items, replacement items, or weight adjustments. After delivery, the hold will drop off, and your card will be charged for the final total. The final charge will appear within 7 business days after order completion.

I canceled my order, but I still see an authorization hold on my card.

An authorization hold can take time to drop off from your card or bank account. Please contact your bank directly regarding their authorization hold practices.

How do I enter a promo code?

You may enter a promo code during checkout on shop.sprouts.com or in the side navigation bar of the Sprouts app.

Where does the tip go? How can I adjust the tip?

The tip goes directly to the shopper who delivered your order. You can add a tip at checkout or within the SMS feedback link after your order is complete. A change in tip, such as an increase can be applied within 24 hours after your order is completed or a decrease within two hours of your completed order.

Is a tip different than the service fee?

A tip is separate from the service fee. 100% of your tip will go directly to the shopper while the service fee covers a broad range of Instacart’s operating cost.
