In order to deliver alcohol and other age-restricted products, you must complete a responsible delivery course where you will learn about the rules and regulations for delivering regulated products during the sign-up process. Additional alcohol delivery certification may be required and vary from state-to-state.
During the application process, you will receive multiple educational sessions through our third-party educational service provider, eduMe, and in a few States from specific certification providers like RServing or TIPS. Throughout the process, you will receive direct links for the following sessions:
eduMe Responsible Delivery Course
Gopuff Kitchens | Fresh Food Delivery Course
Additional Alcohol Delivery Certification Course (if required by local jurisdiction)
No! The courses or certification that you will be offered to take within our onboarding flow (Responsible Delivery course via eduMe, TIPS, Rserving) are made available at no cost to you by Gopuff. Always make sure the email address you are using to register for the course matches the email address on your application with Gopuff. In addition, where applicable, ensure you select the course that is specific to the State you operate in.
All delivery partners operating from locations that sell alcohol or other regulated products must complete the Responsible Delivery course via eduMe, and any others that state or local authorities may require. You will, however, have the option to opt-out of alcohol deliveries under account preferences in the app.
Always make sure the email address you are using for the course matches the email address on your application with Gopuff. This ensures all records match and that you will not be charged for the educational courses.
You will be prompted by the application flow to complete the requirement specific to your location. The table below gives you visibility into what to expect.

If you’re already certified and the certification has not expired, you only have to send us a clear picture of your certification card at partners@gopuff.com. We will verify its authenticity and validity, and push your application to the next stage if it meets all criteria.
Vehicle Safety & Inspection Certification
In certain states, all vehicles must have a safety inspection and display an inspection sticker in order to be registered or renew their registration. If your Gopuff delivery location requires these documents, you will need to submit the following:
Vehicle Inspection Certificate
Vehicle Registration Document
