Enter your EBT card number. Your EBT card number is typically on the back of the card. Tap Save to save your card, and enter your PIN if prompted. Now that you've added your EBT card to DoorDash, you're ready to shop!
Shop at a participating retailer. When browsing DoorDash stores, look for the ones labeled "SNAP." DoorDash accepts EBT in most states at Acme, Albertsons, Aldi, King's, Meijer, Pavilions, Safeway, Shaws, Star Market, Vons, and some (but not all) 7-Eleven locations.[1] You can use EBT at any of these retailers to pay for uncooked groceries like vegetables, fruit, meat, dairy, snacks, pantry staples, and non-alcoholic beverages.[2]- If you're viewing the details of an EBT-eligible item, you'll see SNAP on its product page.
- Heated/hot foods and cold prepared foods are not SNAP eligible.[3]
- You can add non-EBT items to your cart—the cost of these items will be billed to your default payment method.
Select Pay with SNAP at checkout. After reviewing your DoorDash cart, you'll see this option on the checkout page. This will display your SNAP balance and show you the total amount of all EBT-eligible items in your cart.- If you haven't already done so, you may be prompted to enter your 4-digit EBT PIN to display your balance.
- If you don't see this option, EBT is not accepted at this location.
Enter the amount you want to pay and tap Continue. You can enter the entire SNAP-eligible subtotal if you have enough benefits on your EBT card. You can also pay for just a portion of your groceries with EBT and save the rest for your credit or debit card.- Remember, you'll need another payment method added to DoorDash to cover fees and non-eligible items.
Tap Place Order to confirm. If you don't have another payment method added, you'll be prompted to add one first. Any items and fees not covered by EBT will automatically be billed to your alternative payment method.
