Put the groceries in your ICA cart
Tap “Review your plan”, approve any allergen warnings, and the app fills your ICA cart. Items without a match you pick yourself or add afterwards. Then sign in to ICA with BankID and complete the purchase there.
Coop: the app fills a cart, and you choose store and delivery time at Coop. Other chains give prices and deals but no cart.
