Skip and Instacart Team Up to Expand Delivery Options Across Canada

Skip and Instacart have launched a new partnership in Canada that brings Instacart’s grocery and retail marketplace into the Skip app, while giving Instacart users access to more than 50,000 restaurants available through Skip.

The integration is available starting today, October 6. This means Skip users can now shop from Instacart’s network of more than 130 retail banners and over 9,000 locations in Canada through the Skip app, while Instacart customers can order from Skip’s national and local restaurant partners.

On Skip, customers can tap the grocery section and choose from participating Instacart retailers. They are then redirected to Instacart’s platform to browse live inventory and place the order, which is picked in-store by an Instacart shopper.

Instacart users will see a restaurant option inside the app, where they can browse Skip’s network of more than 50,000 restaurants. Restaurant orders are delivered by Skip couriers.

“This partnership represents a pivotal moment in Skip’s evolution,” said Skip CEO Paul Burns, in a statement on Tuesday. “We have grown far beyond our roots in restaurant delivery to become an essential, all-in-one destination for Canadians.”

The companies are also extending membership benefits across the partnership. Skip+ members can receive $0 delivery fees on eligible Instacart-powered grocery and retail orders, while Instacart+ members can get $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible restaurant orders placed through Skip.

To mark the launch, Skip is offering 40% off eligible Instacart-powered orders of $35 or more, with a maximum discount of $15, while quantities last. The offer applies through the Groceries Powered by Instacart section in the Skip app.

Skip says it now operates in more than 450 Canadian cities and towns, while Instacart works with more than 2,200 retail banners representing nearly 100,000 stores across its broader network.
