Abstract Our main purpose in this work is to derive an existence criterion for a Caputo conformable hybrid multi-term integro-differential equation equipped with initial conditions. In this way, we consider a partially ordered Banach space, and, by applying the lower solution property, the existence and successive approximations of solutions for the mentioned hybrid initial problem are investigated. Eventually, we formulate an illustrative example for this hybrid IVP to support our findings from a numerical point of view. Moreover, we plot the sequence of the obtained approximate solutions for different values of noninteger orders.
