How does it work? Users can add their SNAP/EBT card to their account or added at checkout. The maximum SNAP-eligible subtotal will automatically be applied to the order at checkout.
Customers can adjust the SNAP amount applied to the order by selecting, “Apply SNAP Amount” and editing the amount.
DoorDash says the partnership wants to help areas where getting to the grocery store isn’t easily available.
“Access to affordable food is fundamental. This collaboration with Kroger marks an important step forward for SNAP access nationwide,” said Mike Goldblatt, VP of Enterprise Partnerships at DoorDash.
DoorDash says it will waive delivery fees on the first order using EBT or SNAP cards for a limited time.
