Grocery Stores that Accept EBT Online Delivery or Pickup

Shopping for groceries online is becoming a need for many. If you use EBT, you might be wondering which stores accept it for online orders.

Luckily, several grocery stores allow you to use your EBT card for either delivery or pickup, making the shopping experience smoother.

Are you curious about which ones do? I’m here to share this crucial information with you.

List of Grocery Stores that Accept EBT Online  Delivery or Pickup

As of 2023, here is a list of online grocery stores that accept EBT for delivery and pickup.

#1. Amazon Fresh 

AmazonFresh accepts EBT as a form of payment for eligible items. To use EBT on Amazon, you need to add your EBT card as a form of payment on the Amazon website. Amazon, Amazon Fresh, and Whole Foods Market allow SNAP EBT card users to shop for eligible groceries without requiring a Prime membership.

Benefits of using EBT on Amazon include:

• Access to a wide variety of SNAP-eligible groceries from Amazon, Amazon Fresh, and Whole Foods Market.
• Free access to Amazon Fresh selections without a Prime membership is available for customers using a valid SNAP EBT card in a participating state.
• 50% off Amazon Prime membership for EBT cardholders, which provides additional benefits such as access to Prime Video, Prime Music, and free shipping on eligible items.

However, it’s important to note that customers using EBT cannot tip their delivery drivers through the Amazon platform. If you want to tip your driver, you’ll need to do so with cash or use a separate credit or debit card for the non-EBT portion of your order.
