Many major grocery stores and supermarket chains allow customers to use Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards for pickup orders.

However, it’s important to note that not all retailers that accept EBT in-store will also allow you to pay for curbside pickup with your EBT card.

Below, we’ve compiled the list of stores that accept EBT for online grocery pickup — plus those that don’t.

The List of Grocery Stores That Accept EBT for Online Grocery Pickup

To compile this list, I spoke with customer service representatives and reviewed policy documentation for each store.

Note that some stores only offer pickup at select locations, and some may require you to pay online when you place the order, while others allow you to pay at the time of pickup. I detail these and other restrictions below.
