How to Order Online with Tesco?
Once your account is active, the ordering process on Tesco.ie follows a straightforward three-step flow. Most customers complete their first order in under fifteen minutes if they know what they want.
Setting up an account
Before you can add anything to your basket, you need a Tesco account linked to a Clubcard. If you don’t already have one, registration at tesco.ie automatically generates a Clubcard number. The account setup asks for your name, email, and a delivery address in the Republic of Ireland.
Selecting groceries
Tesco.ie organises products by category — fresh produce, dairy, household staples, and more. You can search by product name or browse departments. As you add items, your basket total updates in real time, and any Clubcard-exclusive prices show a distinct label so you know exactly which discounts apply. The site tracks up to 50,000 products, so there is rarely a gap between what you find in-store and what is available online.
Choosing delivery slots
After filling your basket, you select a delivery window. Slots fill quickly during peak periods, so many regular shoppers book their next delivery immediately after receiving their current order. Delivery runs seven days a week, with costs ranging from €6 to €10 depending on the day. You can also switch to Click+Collect at this stage if that works better for your schedule.
“Get more power in your pocket with the new Tesco App, where online shopping and Clubcard are combined into one place.”
— Tesco Ireland App Description, Apple App Store
Home Delivery carries a €3 charge if your basket falls below the €45 minimum at checkout — a fee that catches first-time shoppers off guard.
How Do I Set Up Online Shopping with Tesco?
Two paths exist for getting your Tesco shopping online: the website at tesco.ie or the Tesco Ireland app available on both iOS and Android. Both routes lead to the same account and the same Clubcard integration.
Registering on tesco.ie
Open the registration page and fill in your details. The site prompts you to create a password and verify your email. Within moments you have access to online shopping, though some features — like redeeming Clubcard vouchers — require a full Clubcard registration at the Clubcard portal.
Downloading the app
The Tesco Ireland app is available on the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The app description highlights that it “combines online shopping and Clubcard into one place,” and the Android version carries identical features to the iOS build. Once installed, log in with the same credentials you created on the website.
Linking Clubcard
Your Clubcard links automatically during account creation if you followed the registration path. If you already had a Clubcard before signing up online, enter your existing card number in the account settings to merge the records. The app lets you scan your Clubcard barcode directly from your phone screen for in-store shopping, meaning one download handles both channels.
Linking your Clubcard before your first order ensures you earn points from day one — even on orders where a minimum basket charge applies.
How Much Does Tesco Online Delivery Cost?
Tesco Ireland uses a zone-based pricing model where the day of your delivery matters as much as the distance to your address. Understanding these costs upfront prevents surprises at checkout.
Standard delivery fees
Pay-as-you-go delivery costs €6 to €8 for orders placed Monday through Saturday, according to Tesco Ireland Help. Sunday deliveries carry a premium at €10 per slot. These rates apply to standard Home Delivery, which requires a minimum basket of €45. If your basket falls short, a €3 charge applies — though this does not block you from earning Clubcard points on the order.
Delivery Saver options
For regular shoppers, the Delivery Saver subscription removes the per-slot fee puzzle. At €15 per month, you get unlimited home delivery slots regardless of their regular price, as long as your basket meets the €50 minimum. Tesco estimates annual savings of €236 for customers who typically book one weekly delivery slot at €8. The subscription also grants early access to Christmas delivery windows — a perk that becomes valuable in November and December when slots vanish quickly.
“You’ll also get early access to our Christmas slots.”

Minimum spend requirements
Two different minimums apply depending on your delivery method. Standard Home Delivery requires €45, while Delivery Saver Home Delivery bumps that to €50. Click+Collect sits lower at €30 with no delivery charge at all. Tesco Ireland Groceries Delivery notes that if your basket reaches the €45 threshold after substitutions or checkout adjustments, the minimum charge is waived retroactively.
Delivery Saver saves money on delivery fees but demands a higher per-order minimum — so it only makes financial sense if you consistently spend over €50 on groceries.
Do Over 65s Get Free Delivery from Tesco?
The short answer is no blanket free delivery exists for over-65s across all Tesco Ireland orders, but a dedicated phone line handles Delivery Saver sign-ups for this age group and specific discounts may apply through the Clubcard programme.
Senior discounts overview
Tesco Ireland does not publicly list a universal senior citizen discount on its help pages. The main levers for savings are Clubcard vouchers, exclusive in-app prices, and the Delivery Saver subscription. Research notes indicate that over-65s wishing to sign up for Delivery Saver must call customer service directly at 1800 24 8123, suggesting a manual account setup rather than a self-service senior tier.
Free delivery for 60s/65s
No policy page confirms automatic free delivery for customers aged 60 or 65. What the research shows is that Clubcard members who spend regularly with Delivery Saver effectively reduce their per-delivery cost to fractions of a cent over a month — which functionally mimics free delivery for heavy users. For occasional shoppers, Click+Collect remains the cheapest option since it charges no delivery fee regardless of age.
Voucher and Clubcard perks
Clubcard vouchers earned on purchases can cover delivery charges in some scenarios, according to Apple App Store listings for the Tesco app. The app lets you spend vouchers and coupons directly at checkout, which means accumulated points translate into real euro off your bill. Exclusive Clubcard prices appear on the app home screen, giving senior members who use the app a clear view of available savings.
If you are over 65 and want Delivery Saver, skip the website sign-up — call 1800 24 8123 to set up the subscription directly with customer service.
Can I Use My Tesco Clubcard for Online Shopping?
Yes, and the integration runs deeper than most loyalty programmes. Your Clubcard is not optional for Tesco Ireland online shopping — it is a requirement — but once linked it handles points, vouchers, and exclusive pricing in a single account.
Linking Clubcard online
When you register for a Tesco account, you simultaneously open a Clubcard account if you do not have one. The system automatically assigns a Clubcard number during registration, and you can link an existing physical card number in the account settings. Once linked, your online and in-store spending accrue to the same loyalty record.
Earning points
Clubcard points accumulate on every online order, including orders that trigger the €3 minimum basket charge. This means even smaller orders still build toward future discounts. Points convert to vouchers on a periodic basis, and these vouchers can be spent directly from the app during checkout — no printing required.
Using vouchers and coupons
The Tesco Ireland app lets you spend Clubcard vouchers and coupons directly at checkout, per the Apple App Store description. Exclusive Clubcard prices appear on the app home screen, giving you a quick view of which products carry loyalty-only discounts. The same app-based voucher system works whether you are shopping from your phone or the website, since both platforms share your account data.
Your Clubcard is the gateway to Tesco online shopping — without it, you cannot check out. Link it early, and every euro spent builds toward vouchers that reduce your next bill.
