Can I add items to my Instacart order after it's been placed?

Once an order has been placed on Instacart, the ability to add items depends on the order's status. Typically, if the order has not yet been processed or delivered, customers may have the option to modify their orders. In this case, they could access their order details in the Instacart app or on the website, and look for an option that allows them to add items. However, if the order is already being prepared or has been assigned to a shopper, it may not be possible to make any changes. This limitation helps ensure that shoppers can efficiently complete the order in the time frame provided. To increase the chances of being able to add items, it is advisable to act quickly as the timing of notifications regarding order processing can vary. If modifications are necessary and the current order does not allow it, customers could consider placing a separate order for any additional items they need. Customers can also keep an eye on the current Instacart web page for any updates or specific instructions concerning order modifications.
