San Bernardino, California-based Stater Bros. Markets will now accept SNAP EBT payments for orders made through Instacart.
The purpose of SNAP, also known as CalFresh in California, is to provide monthly food benefits to low-income people, allowing them to afford more nutritious foods. EBT SNAP can be used for purchases made at Stater Bros. through the Instacart website and mobile app, making same-day delivery and pickup available to more customers.
“Stater Bros. has always been committed to caring for our local communities,” said Rebecca Calvin, SVP and CMO. “This partnership allows us to do just that by making affordable same-day delivery and pickup accessible to more Southern California families.”
Instacart and Stater Bros. Markets first partnered in 2016 to offer same-day delivery and pickup. EBT SNAP acceptance on Instacart is powered by Carrot Payments, part of Instacart Platform, the company’s suite of enterprise-grade technology solutions.
To order same-day grocery delivery or pickup online from Stater Bros. Markets, customers must create a profile using Instacart’s website or mobile app. Customers can enter their EBT food card information as a form of payment in their profile. Customers will need a secondary form of payment for non-food items such as taxes, tips and fees per federal SNAP guidelines.
“We’re proud to expand our partnership with Stater Bros. Markets to provide families with a more affordable and convenient way to access fresh nutritious foods and pantry staples,” said Sarah Mastrorocco, VP and general manager of access to food and nutrition at Instacart.
“We recognize the role we play in expanding EBT SNAP availability for beneficiaries. This launch serves as a massive milestone for Californians as we continue to increase access to food and nutrition.”
