Overview
- DoorDash rolled out EBT and SNAP payment support for grocery orders from about 2,700 Kroger-owned locations on its marketplace.
- The rollout covers banners including Ralphs, Fred Meyer, Mariano's and Harris Teeter, with in-app icons and filters to highlight SNAP-eligible options.
- Shoppers can use EBT to buy eligible food items such as meat, produce, dairy and frozen foods, and Kroger sets product pricing on the DoorDash app.
- DoorDash is offering a $0 delivery fee on a customer’s first EBT purchase from participating Kroger stores through June 15.
- Advocates warn that delivery fees and tips, which SNAP cannot pay, may limit use for low-income and senior shoppers, even as DoorDash says SNAP users on its platform are more likely to live in food deserts.
