How to unsubscribe from Instacart emails
The fastest Instacart unsubscribe route is inside your account: on the website, open the three-line menu, choose Your account settings, then Notification settings, and toggle off Email notifications. In the app the same switch is called Receive marketing emails. That one setting silences the deals, "your favorites are back in stock" nudges, and cart reminder emails, while order confirmations keep coming whenever you actually place an order.

Method 1: notification settings on instacart.com
- Sign in at instacart.com and click the three horizontal lines in the upper left.
- Select Your account settings.
- Open Notification settings.
- Toggle Email notifications off to stop marketing email.
While you are there, you can also untoggle Text messages under Marketing updates if promo SMS bothers you, or simply reply STOP to any marketing text.
Method 2: the toggle in the Instacart app
- Tap the Account icon in the upper right corner.
- Tap Settings, then Notifications under App settings.
- Switch off Receive marketing emails.
Method 3: the unsubscribe link in the email itself
Every Instacart promo carries a footer unsubscribe link that works without logging in. Gmail and Apple Mail additionally show a native one-click Unsubscribe button at the top of the message. This is handy if you no longer remember your Instacart password, though the account toggle is the more complete fix because it covers every marketing stream at once rather than just the campaign that happened to land that day. Note that Instacart+ membership reminders and referral nudges are still marketing, so if one arrives after you toggle off, run its footer link too.
If Instacart emails come back
Deals and reminder emails sometimes resume after a quiet spell, typically because a new marketing stream launched or a partner storefront account (Instacart powers Kroger, M&M Food Market, and other grocery sites) holds its own opt-in. Use the footer link on whichever email slipped through, and check any partner storefront logins separately. ClearMyInbox runs a follow-up check about 30 days after your opt-out and tells you plainly whether Instacart actually went silent or needs another pass, so nothing quietly creeps back.
Filter or block as a last resort
If a stream refuses to die, handle it in your mailbox instead. In Gmail, filter the promo sender address to Skip Inbox or Delete, keeping the filter narrower than the whole instacart.com domain so receipts still land. In Outlook, the Sweep tool or a Blocked senders entry does the same job.
What keeps arriving no matter what
Order confirmations, delivery status updates, refund and substitution notices, and payment receipts are transactional. Instacart states outright that confirmation emails continue even after you unsubscribe from marketing, which is what you want when a shopper is replacing your avocados.
Tidy up the rest of the category
Grocery and takeaway senders share the same playbook of daily deals and win-you-back offers. If Uber Eats promos are also piling up, or meal-kit brands like HelloFresh keep tempting you with discount boxes, our guide to stopping food delivery emails covers the whole category in one sweep.
Frequently asked questions
Will I still get order confirmations after unsubscribing?▾
Yes. Instacart's own help docs confirm order confirmation emails keep arriving even after you unsubscribe from marketing. Receipts, delivery updates, and refund notices are transactional and only fire when you actually shop.
Where is the marketing email toggle in the Instacart app?▾
Tap the Account icon in the upper right, tap Settings, then choose Notifications under App settings. Switch off Receive marketing emails there.
How do I stop Instacart text messages?▾
Reply STOP to any Instacart marketing text, or open Notification settings and untoggle Text messages under Marketing updates. SMS is a separate channel from email, so switching one off does not affect the other.
Why am I getting Instacart emails from Kroger or another grocery store?▾
Instacart powers white-label storefronts for many grocery chains. Those partner storefronts have their own notification settings tied to that storefront account, so you may need to log in to the partner site and opt out there as well.
Does the unsubscribe link in Instacart emails work?▾
Yes, the footer link opts you out without a login. Gmail and Apple Mail also surface a one-click Unsubscribe button at the top of Instacart marketing messages via the standard List-Unsubscribe header.
