What the Instacart connector can do

Instacart's developer platform turns a recipe or product list into a page shoppers can use to buy everything with one click. With an Instacart connection in a type.com Space, the agent can create a recipe link or page, build a shareable shopping list page, or check which retailers deliver to a zip code, useful for content, recipe, and wellness teams.
