What is "SHIPT*" on my bank statement?

SHIPT* is a legitimate charge from Shipt, Target's grocery delivery service, for an order or membership.

Merchant: Shipt | Category: Food Delivery

What Is This Charge?

A charge from Shipt reflects a grocery delivery or same-day delivery purchase at Target-owned Shipt, which launched in 2014 and operates as a delivery marketplace rather than a traditional store chain. Shipt is a subsidiary of Target Corporation, and the service connects customers to personal shoppers who pick up and deliver orders from partner retailers. The charge can also reflect a Shipt membership fee, a delivery fee, or an order total from a completed grocery run. Shipt is not a scam when the descriptor matches a recent order, membership renewal, or tip.

Why Does This Charge Appear on My Statement?

This charge appears when you place a delivery order through the Shipt app or website and the order is processed after checkout. It also appears when a membership renews automatically, usually on a monthly or annual billing cycle. A second common trigger is a temporary authorization hold that later changes to the final amount after the shopper weighs produce or substitutes items. A third trigger is a tip added after delivery, which can post separately from the base order.

Typical Charge Amounts

Shipt membership pricing has commonly included a monthly plan around $10.99 and an annual plan around $99, depending on promotions and market changes. Delivery orders often total $35 to $150 before tip, because the final amount depends on the grocery basket and store pricing. Temporary card holds can appear for $1, $10, or the estimated order total before the final charge posts. Tips often post as $5, $10, or 10% to 20% of the order total.

Is This Charge Legitimate?

Check your Shipt account history in the Shipt app or at https://www.shipt.com to match the date, amount, and delivery address. Review your email for an order confirmation, membership renewal notice, or receipt from Shipt or Target. If the charge is unfamiliar, compare it with recent household grocery orders, tip adjustments, or card holds that may have converted into a final payment. If you still cannot match it, contact Shipt support through the app or website and ask for the order ID tied to the transaction.

How to Dispute or Cancel

1. Open the Shipt app or sign in at https://www.shipt.com and check Orders, Membership, and Payment History. 2. If the charge is for a membership, cancel auto-renew before the next billing date so future charges stop. 3. If the order was wrong, contact Shipt support and request a refund, price review, or missing-item adjustment. 4. If you cannot resolve it with Shipt, call the number on the back of your card and file a bank dispute for an unauthorized charge. 5. Keep screenshots, receipts, and email confirmations because banks usually ask for proof before reversing a card transaction.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my Shipt charge show as SHIPT*?

SHIPT* is the standard card descriptor for a Shipt grocery delivery order, membership fee, or tip. The asterisk often appears because the merchant name is shortened by the card network. If you ordered through the Shipt app or had a membership renewal, the descriptor can post exactly as SHIPT* even when the receipt shows a longer business name.

How do I cancel my Shipt subscription?

Cancel Shipt by signing in to the Shipt app or going to https://www.shipt.com, then opening your account settings and turning off auto-renew. Do this before the next billing date because membership charges usually renew automatically. Save the cancellation confirmation email, because it is the fastest proof if a renewal posts later.

Why is my Shipt charge a different amount than expected?

Shipt charges can change because the final bill may include weighted produce, item substitutions, sales tax, delivery fees, or a tip added after delivery. A temporary authorization hold can also be higher or lower than the final posted amount. If the shopper replaced items or the store weighed groceries differently, the final charge can differ from the checkout estimate by several dollars.

Can Shipt charges include Target purchases?

Yes, Shipt often fulfills orders from Target and other partner retailers, so the charge may reflect a Target grocery or household order delivered through Shipt. The statement descriptor can still show SHIPT* instead of Target because Shipt is the payment processor for the delivery service. Check your Target or Shipt receipt to match the exact order.

What should I do if I do not recognize a Shipt charge?

First, check whether someone in your household used the Shipt app, placed a Target delivery order, or started a membership trial. Next, compare the charge date and amount with your email receipts and app order history. If nothing matches, contact Shipt support and then dispute the charge with your bank if it remains unauthorized.
