Online Grocery Shopping and Pickup in Switzerland: Who Delivers, What It Costs, and What Actually Works

Ordering groceries online in Switzerland is more complicated than it should be. Migros, Coop and a handful of smaller players all play by different rules, with different delivery fees, different coverage, and a few surprises hidden in their online pricing. This page lays out every option clearly, tells you where Lidl, Denner and Aldi fit (they mostly don't, and that matters), and flags the one trap most shoppers miss: not every chain's online prices match its in-store prices the way you would expect.

Last updated regularly. Prices checked on the official websites of each retailer. Delivery fees, minimum order values and cut-off times for Migros Online and coop.ch re-verified against the Migros support pages and the coop.ch delivery terms in July 2026. Live offers are available in the Rappn app.

Online grocery shopping in Switzerland: who actually delivers in 2026

There are three tiers of service, and it helps to know which tier each brand is in before you start.

Full online supermarkets deliver a weekly shop of fresh, chilled, dry and frozen goods across the whole country: Migros Online and coop.ch, the Coop online supermarket into which the former coop@home was merged on 17 June 2020. Since Farmy's bankruptcy in May 2026, these are the only two with genuinely nationwide full-range coverage. Coop overtook Migros in 2025 to become the largest online supermarket in Switzerland, with around CHF 375 million in online sales against Migros Online's CHF 362 million.

Regional online supermarkets deliver a large range but only in defined areas: Volgshop (more than 1,100 rural municipalities in German-speaking Switzerland and the Upper Valais, but not the city centres of Zurich, Geneva or Basel) and the quick-delivery app Alfies (Zurich plus parts of Aargau, with canton Zug being added in 2026). Aldi's own delivery service, ALDI now, was discontinued in 2026 (details below).

Not online at all for groceries: Lidl Switzerland and Denner. Lidl sells non-food through lidl.ch and the Lidl Plus app (Click & Pick reservations for things like mattresses and garden tools) but there is no food delivery. Denner has a nationwide online wine shop but no general grocery delivery. If you want Lidl or Denner groceries, you have to visit a store.

One more thing worth knowing: Picnic, the Dutch online supermarket, is active abroad (above all in the Netherlands and Germany) but not in Switzerland, despite regular rumours.

Coop Switzerland online grocery shopping: coop.ch fees, range and cut-off times

Coop runs the largest online grocery operation in Switzerland. It overtook Migros Online as the country's biggest online supermarket by revenue in 2025.

Same-day delivery (in urban areas, if you order before midday) adds CHF 5. First order: Coop waives the delivery charge on your first coop.ch order (the CHF 99.90 minimum still applies). Pick-up: Around 550 Coop Pick-up points accept coop.ch orders, with no delivery fee (coop.ch delivery terms); the whole Coop Pick-up network has over 1,100 locations (pickup.ch, both read on 28 September 2026). Details in the click and collect section below. Range: Over 22,000 products, including the full Prix Garantie budget line in normal pack sizes. Coverage: Nationwide. In cities, Coop's own drivers deliver within a chosen one-hour slot. Elsewhere by parcel carrier. Cut-off: Around midday for same-day delivery in most urban areas, 13:30 the day before for parcel. Book up to 7 days ahead. Payment: Credit card, TWINT, PostFinance, invoice, Supercard or Superpoints. Loyalty: Supercard points on every order. The coop.ch newsletter often includes a 20% discount on products you have bought before.

coop.ch's big advantage is that its range and pricing mirror the physical Coop supermarket very closely, and its online-only promotions (20% newsletter discount, Superpoints bonuses, first-order free delivery) are genuinely useful.

Migros Online (shop.migros.ch): the nationwide alternative

Migros Online, formerly known as LeShop, is Migros' full online supermarket. It ships from dedicated warehouses to addresses across Switzerland. The new semi-automated distribution centre in Regensdorf went live at the end of May 2026, replacing the Pratteln and Bremgarten sites. Most orders are delivered next-day; a general same-day service has not launched (as of August 2026).

Busy slots add CHF 1 to 2 on top, and that surcharge still applies at CHF 200+ unless you hold a delivery pass. Verified on the Migros support pages in July 2026: delivery is free from CHF 200, the same threshold as coop.ch.

Worth it if you order at least three or four times a month. Cumulus points still apply. First order: Free delivery on the first order (CHF 7.90 waived, no minimum). PickMup: Not available for Migros Online; Migros stopped this pickup option on 16 December 2021 (support.migros.ch, read on 28 September 2026). Range: Around 12,500 products, plus clothing, electronics and other Migros goods. Coverage: Nationwide. Payment: Credit card, TWINT, PostFinance, invoice, Cumulus coupons.

There is one catch that most shoppers don't notice. Migros Online carries only about two-thirds of the M-Budget range, and several M-Budget items are sold only in bulk multipacks (eight-litre milk packs, four-kilo flour packs) rather than single units. If a product is missing, the site suggests a branded alternative that often costs noticeably more. A saldo basket comparison (issue 01/2022, 18 January 2022, just over 50 products) found that at Coop the shop cost almost the same online and in store, while at Migros the gap was large.

ALDI now (aldi-now.ch): discontinued in 2026

ALDI now is gone. Aldi Suisse closed its grocery delivery service after four years. According to 20 Minuten and Blick (both 23 August 2026), it ended at the end of August 2026 in Bussigny, Bern, Geneva, Lucerne, Basel and Adliswil, and the end in the Zurich region was reported for the end of September 2026. Aldi gave its strategy as the reason: a return to being a true discounter. On 28 September 2026, aldi-now.ch redirected to the Aldi Suisse website. ALDI now never offered click and collect, so there is no pickup option either: Aldi groceries are bought in store.

Lidl: online for some things, not groceries

This one trips people up. Lidl Schweiz has a full e-commerce site at lidl.ch, and the Lidl Plus app includes a Click & Pick function. Neither of them delivers food. Lidl's online shop sells only non-food items such as kitchen appliances, clothes, garden tools and Lidl Connect mobile plans. Click & Pick lets you reserve high-value non-food items (mattresses, robot lawnmowers) for collection at your local store. For Lidl groceries in Switzerland, you go to a Lidl store.

Denner Switzerland online grocery shopping: wine online, food in store

Denner does not deliver food anywhere in Switzerland, so Denner online grocery shopping means one category only: wine. Everything else on the Denner shelf stays a store visit.

Denner runs an online wine shop, now part of denner.ch at denner.ch/de/weinshop, delivering across Switzerland and Liechtenstein. Minimum order CHF 50, delivery fee CHF 9.90, free from CHF 400, with a small-quantity surcharge of up to CHF 5 between CHF 50 and CHF 100; Planzer Paket carries the parcels (denner.ch/de/lieferbedingungen). Part of the range is sold online only. For general groceries, the Denner app lets you view your store's current flyer, build a shopping list and see promotions, but the list is for use in-store. There is no food delivery.

Aligro is a cash-and-carry market open to everyone, including private customers, with no home delivery. Otto's runs non-food e-commerce but does not deliver groceries.

So of Rappn's 7 retailers, only Migros and Coop still deliver groceries online, now that ALDI now has closed. That is the full list.

Farmy (farmy.ch): no longer available

Farmy is gone. Farmy AG and its parent company Pico Lebensmittel AG filed for bankruptcy on 9 May 2026; the online shop is offline and deliveries have stopped for good (as of August 2026). If you used Farmy for organic, regional or farm-direct food, the practical alternatives today are the supermarket organic lines (Coop Naturaplan, Migros Bio), farm shops and box schemes. The full story, including what it means for customers and producers, is in our Farmy bankruptcy explainer.

Volgshop (volgshop.ch): the rural option that bigger apps overlook

Volgshop serves over a million households in more than 1,100 municipalities across German-speaking Switzerland and the Upper Valais. It exists to reach places the big online supermarkets either ignore or charge a premium for.

Minimum order: None. Delivery fee: CHF 10 below CHF 100, free at CHF 100 or more. Coverage: Rural and small-town Switzerland. Explicitly not the city centres of Zurich, Geneva or Basel. Delivery method: Via Swiss Post, next-morning delivery. Range: Everyday essentials, fresh produce, meat, dairy. No frozen. The Volg budget range is not available online. Pickup option: Free of charge at any of more than 480 Volg stores, at the earliest four hours after ordering and within the time window you booked (volgshop.ch FAQ and terms). Loyalty: Volg-Märkli are only granted on in-store pickup, not home delivery; the trade-off is cheaper delivery.

If you live in a village in the Emmental, Jura or Graubünden, Volgshop is often the only service that genuinely serves you.

Quick delivery apps: only Alfies is left

For small, urgent orders in cities, only one dedicated service is left in 2026.

Alfies (alfies.ch): Austrian-owned, launched in Zurich in February 2024 and the only widely available quick-delivery grocery service in Switzerland. Minimum CHF 29, free delivery above CHF 59. Delivery within 60 to 120 minutes, or a guaranteed 60 minutes for an extra CHF 2.95 to 4.95. Open Monday to Saturday 08:00 to 22:00. Prices matched to Coop and Migros on branded products. Coverage per the Alfies FAQ: the city of Zurich, large parts of canton Zurich and canton Aargau, plus parts of canton Zug such as Baar, with 60, 120 or 180-minute windows depending on the zone.

Smood (smood.ch): shut down. The Geneva-founded delivery service, owned by Migros Genève, ceased operations on 30 April 2026; 427 employees were affected. For a quick Migros top-up, the remaining routes are Just Eat (which has delivered a 10,000+ item Migros assortment in Geneva, Valais and Ticino since May 2026), Migros Online next-day, or a store visit.

A few earlier quick-commerce players (Migrolino's Hey service, Valora's Avec Now, Stash, Famy X-Press, Qwell Express) had already closed, and Smood followed on 30 April 2026. Alfies is the last dedicated grocery quick-delivery player.

Click and collect: order online, pick up yourself

Click and collect means you order online, then collect the shopping yourself in a store or at a pickup point. Collecting saves the delivery fee but does not remove a minimum order: coop.ch states CHF 99.90 in its delivery terms, with no exception for Pick-up. And groceries have to be collected much faster than parcels.

• Order: in the online shop (coop.ch, Volgshop) or, at Lidl, as a reservation in the Lidl Plus app, for non-food only.
• Choose the pickup point: a Coop Pick-up location or a Volg store (Lidl Click & Pick is for non-food only).
• Wait for the confirmation: Volg shows the possible pickup times before you complete the order and states the time window in the order confirmation.
• Collect in time: at Coop Pick-up, groceries go back after 24 hours at the latest; at Volg, the booked time window applies. At Volg you pay in the store.

Before you order, check the week's promotions: Rappn shows the promotions of seven chains, updated daily, and marks the ones that are valid online only. Whether online prices match the shelf is covered in the next section.

Are online prices the same as in-store? Mostly yes. Here are the exceptions.

This is the most important section on the page.

coop.ch: Same prices online and in store for identical products. Coop confirms on coop.ch that "identical products have uniform prices Switzerland-wide across Coop supermarkets and coop.ch." Prix Garantie items are available online in the same pack sizes as in store.

Migros Online: Officially the same prices online and in store. In practice, two complications. First, only about two-thirds of the M-Budget range is available online, and several M-Budget products are sold only in bulk multipacks. If your favourite M-Budget item is missing, the site suggests a branded alternative at a higher price. Second, Migros runs two price tiers across its 100 Zurich-region stores (around 30 are priced higher than the other 70), and some Migros Partner franchises set their own prices. Migros Online uses the standard list price. Net effect: on Migros Online, the same basket can cost more than in the store.

Alfies: Matches Coop and Migros prices on most branded products. Private-label supermarket items (M-Budget, Prix Garantie) are typically not stocked.

What's online-only: Coop's weekly 20% newsletter discount and various Migros Online voucher codes (first-order discounts, seasonal campaigns). None of these are available in physical stores. Conversely, many in-store weekly promotions and printed coupon campaigns are not reflected online, which is why checking both the store offers and the online site is worth the extra minute.

A smarter approach is to use Rappn to see every chain's current offers side by side, build your basket from them, and only then choose where to check out. That avoids the online-only trap of paying more because a budget item is hidden from the online catalogue.

Which online grocery service should you actually choose?

• Weekly shop for a household, nationwide, with the Prix Garantie line online: coop.ch. Delivery is free from CHF 200; newsletter discounts and the first-order deal come on top.
• Migros loyalist or a delivery pass makes sense: Migros Online with the Lieferpass, but shop with M-Budget availability in mind.
• Fresh, organic, regional, small producers matter most: supermarket organic lines (Naturaplan, Migros Bio) or a farm box scheme. Farmy shut down in May 2026.
• Rural village in Deutschschweiz or the Upper Valais: Volgshop.
• Urgent same-hour top-up in Zurich: Alfies.
• Quick Migros top-up in Geneva, Valais or Ticino: Just Eat (Migros assortment since May 2026). Elsewhere it is Migros Online next-day or a store run; Smood shut down in April 2026.
• Wine delivery: coop.ch or the Denner wine shop (fees above).
• Lidl or Denner groceries: Visit the store. There is no online option.
