DoorDash Adds SNAP/EBT Payments For New Grocers

DoorDash SNAP/EBT

DoorDash has added new merchants across the nation that accept SNAP/EBT payments on the DoorDash Marketplace, including Wakefern Food Corp. (ShopRite, The Fresh Grocer, Price Rite Marketplace, Fairway Market and Gourmet Garage banners), Southeastern Grocers (Harveys Supermarket and Winn-Dixie stores) and BJ’s Wholesale Club.

These partners join several other grocers and convenience stores that offer SNAP/EBT payment capabilities on DoorDash, including Albertsons, ALDI, Safeway, Sheetz and Walgreens. As part of its commitment to reducing hunger nationwide, DoorDash brings more online grocery delivery options to the 1.8 million consumers who have added their SNAP/EBT cards to DoorDash.

“Since launching support for SNAP/EBT payments in 2023, our network of stores that accept SNAP/EBT online payments on the DoorDash Marketplace has grown to more than 15,000 across the United States,” said Fuad Hannon, VP of new verticals at DoorDash.

“We’re proud to offer online grocery delivery to SNAP beneficiaries, helping them access fresh, affordable food regardless of their circumstances – whether they face time constraints, limited transportation or mobility challenges. The addition of SNAP/EBT payments to these partners on DoorDash underscores our ongoing commitment to breaking down barriers to food access nationwide.”

The expansion of SNAP/EBT payment capabilities on DoorDash through these retailers brings SNAP-eligible consumers across the nation increased access to on-demand grocery delivery.

As one of the largest online marketplaces to offer SNAP/EBT recipients access to grocery delivery across the country, 93 percent of monthly active consumers on DoorDash have access to at least one store accepting SNAP on the platform. Without delivery, one in eight SNAP recipients on DoorDash would skip making some of their grocery purchases entirely, according to consumers surveyed in DoorDash’s report.

DoorDash also recently introduced a one-year discounted DashPass plan for recipients. Eligible consumers who sign up for the plan can receive one year of DashPass benefits – like $0 delivery fees and reduced service fees on eligible orders and exclusive offers – for just $4.99/month.
