Recipe checkout

Looking to integrate with grocery delivery services. My service would allow people to add all ingredients of a recipe to their Amazon fresh/shipt/Walmart delivery shopping cart for a small yearly fee.

    Sound good. Is this good idea to use the program on individual blog? I want to test on my recipes website, you can see here https://samarascuisine.com/

    What if you made a machine learning model that took online recipe content and was able to select the correct items to add to your amazon shopping list?

    If you made a chrome plugin for example, you could literally add a buy button to any recipe website. (I'm thinking something like https://www.joinhoney.com/)

      Why would you need machine learning? That is way too much. I do want to add a buy button to any recipe site. The problem is the customer would have to have an account already with a grocery delivery service, and that service would have to allow me to make purchases in the user's behalf.

    Aren't there a dozen that do that for free? (You can get affiliate income probably)

      If there already are services that do this, I'd love to use them.

      I think either I didn't explain it well, or you didn't quite get it. I won't be delivering groceries, I will just make carts for recipes that people can add to their existing grocery delivery service's shopping cart. Imagine it like this: You find a recipe you want to try, click it, and all the ingredients are added to your cart. It is similar to hellofresh/blue apron, except the end consumer is buying groceries like they normally would without shopping around. They can remove items from the cart that they already have, and can order as many as they want. They only pay what the groceries cost.

        Something like https://playt.com/

        or what's here?..

        I'm pretty sure there are many versions of that idea all over..

        Unrelated "for a small yearly fee", I'm saying AFAIK most of these solutions don't charge the customer on the front end, they get commissions on the back end from the services that deliver

          Not really available in my area, but after some research Instacart actually has something pretty close to this.
