Family Dollar has partnered with Instacart to accept Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program’s Electronic Benefit Transfer (SNAP/EBT) payments for online orders.
“Family Dollar takes great pride in delivering quality and value on family essentials through our convenient locations across the country,” said Larry Gatta, chief merchandising officer for Family Dollar. “Now, through our Instacart partnership, that convenience extends even further to our customers with same-day delivery on SNAP-eligible items.”
Before this collaboration, Family Dollar stores accepted SNAP/EBT payments from customers in person. Through Instacart, customers can now use the newly accepted payment method to buy SNAP-eligible items on Family Dollar’s mobile app and storefront page.

Customers can also shop using SNAP/EBT payments on the Family Dollar storefront on the Instacart app and website. Instacart delivers to customers’ doorsteps, bringing added convenience to the shopping experience.
