How much do Instacart shoppers make? According to ZipRecruiter, the average pay for Instacart shoppers in Maryland is about $17 per hour. I made less than that.

Even though I liked it, I didn’t make much money, but that doesn’t mean you can’t. I chalk my struggle up to being a total Instacart noob and living in a relatively small town in Maryland.

You do well your first month and manage to make $3,000 in commission off your sales. Once pay day hits, you won't see that $3,000 in commission. Remember that $2,000 you got when you first started?
