How to Utilize SNAP EBT on Amazon.com



Embracing the digital era has never been easier with Amazon's integration of SNAP EBT benefits on their platform. Now, you can turn your eligible SNAP EBT card into a powerful online shopping tool. By following a few simple steps, you can start exploring a vast array of food products and enjoying the convenience of doorstep delivery. Here's how you can make the most of your SNAP EBT benefits on Amazon:


  • Visit Amazon's designated SNAP EBT page using the link provided here.

  • Sign in to your account, and add your EBT card.

  • Explore an extensive selection of groceries and look for the "SNAP EBT eligible" label on product pages.

  • Add your desired items to your cart and proceed to checkout.

  • At checkout, select the option to pay with your SNAP EBT card to complete your transaction seamlessly.

  • If you order includes both eligible and non-eligible items, Amazon lets you split the payment between your EBT card and another payment method.


Now, sit back, relax, and await your Amazon goodies to arrive at your doorstep hassle-free!


Can I use my EBT card to buy non-food items?

If you only get CalFresh food benefits, you can only buy food items online at Amazon. SNAP-eligible food items have a special label “SNAP EBT eligible.” This label appears after a SNAP participant adds their SNAP EBT card to their Amazon account. Only items shipped and sold by Amazon.com, including Amazon Pantry and Amazon Fresh are eligible for purchasing with SNAP benefits. They cannot be used to pay for tips, delivery, shipping, gift wrap, or non-eligible groceries. 

That means SNAP EBT is helpful for groceries, but it does not cover every cost connected to an online order. Keeping that in mind can help avoid surprises during checkout.
