How do I view orders available in my area?
When logged into the Shopper app, you'll be presented with an overview of current orders. If there are no delivery opportunities available, you will be notified when new order opportunities are available.
Do I have to go to the supermarket indicated to do the shopping?
Yes. The supermarket that you are prompted to navigate to is the closest to the delivery address and shows the most accurate inventory. This helps ensure a customer receives their order quickly and reduces instances where an item may be out of stock.
I've accepted an order, now what?
You will be prompted to open your navigation to the designated store and can make your way there.
I can't find an item, what do I do?
In the event that a product requested by a customer is not available at the supermarket, you may be required to provide a substitue or mark the item as not found.
If the item is marked as "If unavailable... Replace with best choice", use your best judgement to find a suitable substitute (this may be a different brand, but the same product type and size). Tap "Mark as subbed" and input the substitute details as prompted.
If the item is marked as "If unavailable... Do not substitute", tap "Not found". The customer will be refunded for the unavailable item.
Remember: When choosing a substitute, it must fall within the price range indicated.
Can I use my personal retailer loyalty or rewards card when paying at the checkout?
No. You cannot use your personal loyalty or rewards card at the checkout to accrue points.
What bags do I use to deliver orders?
If available, you can scan and use the recyclable plastic bags at the retail store to pack and deliver customer orders.
How should I pack and transport the shopping?
Products should be packed in separate bags by category:
• Fruits, vegetables and dairy
• Meats
• Seafood
• Frozen items
• Cleaning products and detergents
Please ensure you follow these packing guidelines. Failure to do so risks the safety of our community and your access to the Aircart platform.
How do I pay for the shopping?
You can use your secure Aircart-issued payment card to pay. The transaction will be securely authorised by our systems in real time. The card will have been included in your Activation Kit.
How do I take a picture of the receipt when prompted?
Before leaving the store or car park, you will be prompted to upload an image of the receipt within the shopper app.
When taking the photo, frame the entire receipt from top to bottom. The details that must be included are: store name, product details, total paid, date, time.
If the receipt is too long, you may carefully cut the receipt in half and upload a side by side image.
Do I give the store receipt to the customer?
No. The receipt acts as a contractual document between Aircart and the retailer and must not be given to the customer.
Customers receive a digital receipt from Aircart.
We ask that you hold onto the receipt for one week in case of any disputes or if we require any specific details.
I've finished shopping, now what?
Once you finish shopping, tap "Open navigation", and you will be guided to the customer's delivery address.
Nobody is home to accept delivery, what do I do?
Please make every effort to contact the customer or someone at the delivery address who can accept the order.
If the customer is not home, we ask that you wait up to 10 minutes before leaving the order in a safe and secure place. If leaving the order in a safe and secure place, we ask that you take a photo should any issues arise.
