Target.com Now Offers SNAP Payment for Groceries Online
Today, Target announced that it will now offer SNAP payment for groceries online. This change means that customers who receive Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits can now use those benefits to pay for their groceries when shopping on Target.com. The retailer says that it will also soon introduce mobile payment options for digital orders in the Target app. This move makes Target the latest national retailer to roll out support for SNAP payments in its online grocery offerings.
While the payment method has long been accepted in stores, online grocery retailers offering curbside pickup and delivery programs have only more recently begun to support the payment type in their online offerings. That was also true for Target, where customers who wanted to pay with SNAP could only do so in-store. Now, with this change, customers can use SNAP to buy groceries for same-day pickup through Target’s curbside pickup and delivery services.
This is a big win for customers who rely on SNAP benefits to help pay for their groceries. And it’s yet another example of Target working to meet the needs of its guests in new and innovative ways.
What is SNAP Payment?
SNAP Payment, or the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, is a government program that helps low-income families pay for food. Customers who receive SNAP benefits can use those benefits to pay for groceries at participating stores. Target is now one of those stores.
How do you qualify for SNAP Payment?
You will only qualify for SNAP Payment if you meet specific income requirements. If you want to receive benefits, your household first has to be eligible according to particular standards. Once your state agency decides that you deserve SNAP benefits, they will send payments dating back to when you submitted your application.
You can apply for SNAP Payment by visiting your state’s website. From there, you will need to create an account and fill out an application. You will also need to provide proof of your income, residency, and citizenship. Once you have submitted your application, a state caseworker will contact you to set up an interview.

If you’re shopping on Target.com, you can now use your SNAP benefits to pay for groceries. Just add the items you want to buy to your cart and select “SNAP Payment” as your payment method at checkout. For orders placed through the Target app, mobile payment options will be available soon.

Generally, you can use SNAP benefits to buy food for the household to eat, such as:
- Breads and cereals
- Fruits and vegetables
- Meats, fish, and poultry
- Dairy products
- Seeds and plants that produce food for the household to eat.
