Step‑by‑step: Setting up an Instacart account

1. Install the Instacart app
   On iPhone: Open the App Store, type “Instacart” in the search bar, then tap Get or Install.
   On Android: Open the Google Play Store, search for “Instacart”, then tap Install.
2. Open the app
   When it finishes installing, tap the Instacart icon on your home screen. It looks like a small carrot.
3. Choose “Sign up” or “Get started.”
   On the first screen, look for a button that says Sign up, Get started, or Create account, and tap it.
4. Enter your email or phone number
   • You may be asked for an email address or mobile phone number.
   • Type it in slowly and carefully, then tap Continue or Next.
5. Create a password
   • Choose a password you can remember (for example, a phrase plus a number).
   • Type it in, then type it again to confirm if asked.
   • Tap Create account or Sign up.
6. Enter your name and address
   • Instacart will ask for your first and last name—type them in.
   • Then enter your home address so Instacart knows which stores deliver to you.
   • Make sure the street name and house number look correct, then tap Save or Continue.
7. Allow location (optional but helpful)
   A message may pop up asking to use your location.
   • Tap Allow while using the app if you’re comfortable—this helps Instacart find nearby stores.
   • If you prefer not to, you can skip it and just type your address manually.
8. Add a payment method
   • Go to Account or Settings (usually a little person icon or three lines in a corner).
   • Tap Payment methods or Add payment.
   • Carefully type in your credit or debit card number, expiration date, and security code (the 3 digits on the back).
   • Tap Save.
     If you’re unsure, this is a good step to do with a trusted family member.
9. Choose your store
   • On the main screen, you’ll see a list of nearby grocery stores (like Costco, Aldi, or local markets).
   • Tap the store you like to shop at.
10. You’re ready to shop
11. Use the search bar to look for items (like “milk” or “bananas”).
12. When you’re ready, tap the cart icon to review your order and follow the prompts to place your order.
