How do I know if something's SNAP-eligible on Amazon?
You can find all SNAP-eligible items on Amazon's SNAP-eligible groceries page. Otherwise, you'll want to look for a label that says "SNAP EBT Eligible" on the product listing. These items will be shipped and sold by Amazon, Amazon Fresh, or fulfilled by Whole Foods Market.
Items you can purchase with SNAP EBT on Amazon include:
Fresh fruits and vegetables
Meat, poultry, and fish
Dairy products
Bread
Cereals
Canned vegetables
Pantry staples
Snacks, seeds, and non-alchoholic beverages
If an item isn't in the food, snack, or grocery category, there's a more than likely chance that it's not SNAP-eligible. While some non-food items like select gift baskets, toys, and protein powder are eligible, these are rare.
How do I purchase items with SNAP EBT on Amazon?
Adding your SNAP EBT card on Amazon is simple. Here's how:
Head to Amazon to register your SNAP EBT card.
Under "Enter EBT Information," add your EBT card number in the empty field.
Hit "Continue."
Amazon will ask you to upload an image of your EBT card.
Wait for Amazon to confirm your eligibility (this will take a few days).
Amazon accepts SNAP EBT nationwide. Note that delivery fees, tips, and any items sold by third-party sellers can not be paid for with SNAP EBT.
Unfortunately, you can't use SNAP EBT on Subscribe & Save offers.
If Welch's Fruit Snacks or Skippy Creamy Peanut Butter is a staple in your household, it's worth opting into Amazon's Subscribe & Save program.
You can save anywhere from 5% to 15% on snacks and pantry staples that you order often. You even have the option to place weekly or monthly deliveries.
However, shoppers can't use their SNAP EBT card to take advantage of Subscribe & Save discounts. Amazon explains this on their FAQ page:
"According to government requirements, SNAP purchases require customers to authorize the transaction by entering their PIN. Since “Subscribe & Save” orders are automatic recurring orders, this authorization is not possible. You may still subscribe to items using an alternative form of payment, such as a debit or credit card."
