Earlier this year, Instacart announced the launch of Shoppable Recipes, new product integrations that allow food creators to make their recipes shoppable on Instacart. Shoppable Recipes leverage Instacart’s immense grocery catalog — one of the largest in the world — with real-time AI-driven modeling to find in-stock items and available Shoppers to get them delivered quickly, empowering people to turn recipe inspiration from their favorite culinary creators and brands into something delicious that they can make at home.

Today, we are building on the Shoppable Recipes ecosystem and now enabling more content creators and food-focused recipe publishers to make their websites and social media content commerce-enabled. With new easy link-building tools and the Shoppable Recipe button, publishers and content creators can make their content instantly shoppable on Instacart with just a few clicks. 

With these new product capabilities, we’ve unveiled corresponding monetization tools with the launch of Instacart Tastemakers, a new program that allows creators to monetize purchases that their audiences make on Instacart. Now, creators can inspire their audience with delectable food and recipe content and product recommendations, and get paid when they order via Instacart.

Are you a food content creator? When you join Tastemakers, you’ll be able to:

• Earn money for your passion: It’s simple to make money doing what you love: creating content for your community.
• Turn inspiration into reality: Make it easy for your followers to bring your recipes to life with shoppable links.
