Pros

Great schedule flexibility, weekly pay, ability to preview orders, option to shop and learn multiple stores, Shipt HQ customer service is friendly

Cons

Low order pay considering gas, mileage, auto wear and tear. You get paid flat $5 if an order you shopped gets canceled no matter what the original expected pay was. You permanently lose any certification for making one mistake with no warning, probation, or second chance. Lack of consistent orders. Max $15 bonus pay at certain stores and only if you take the order with 5 minutes before the delivery window. If you’re on the schedule you get orders sent to you, but you don’t have the ability to decide that you only want to shop a certain store or shop a certain order size beforehand, which means large orders that take much longer than an hour to shop and deliver.
