After your Instacart store goes live, update your inventory files regularly:
- Upload inventory files whenever your prices or availability change. Instacart recommends daily.
- When updating existing products, it can take two to three hours for the changes to appear on your storefront.
- When adding new products, it can take between three to five business days for the product to appear on your storefront. Instacart needs to verify the product.
- To drive traffic and increase volume, add sales, set loyalty pricing, or create promotions.
- If you sell private label products, you can add nutritional information.
- Enable customers to select products that meet SNAP EBT requirements.
- To help customers choose products that meet their needs, add product claims.
