Grocery Delivery Payment Updates

DoorDash Now Accepts SNAP/EBT Online Payments

— June 29, 2023 — Business
DoorDash has announced it will continue broadening food access for consumers by offering consumers the option to use SNAP/EBT online payments with a handful of participating retailers. The grocery delivery brand will now be offering access to food retailers like ALDI, Safeway, Albertsons, Meijer and select 7-Eleven locations for SNAP recipients, which amounts to more than 4,000 additional locations for them to shop from online. The brand will also be providing SNAP recipients with the benefits of a DashPass membership by providing it free of charge for two months to get them started.

VP of New Verticals Fuad Hannon spoke on the DoorDash SNAP/EBT online payments update saying, "We’re proud to partner with these merchants to offer SNAP recipients access to quality groceries conveniently through our platform. Through the power of local delivery, enabling SNAP/EBT payments can make a profound impact on reducing food insecurity and connecting people to groceries and the essential items they need.”

1. Expansion of Online SNAP/EBT Payments - Opportunity for grocery delivery brands to expand their services to include online SNAP/EBT payments, improving access to food for SNAP recipients.
2. Partnerships with Food Retailers - Opportunity for grocery delivery brands to partner with food retailers, such as ALDI, Safeway, Albertsons, Meijer, and 7-Eleven, to offer SNAP/EBT payment options and increase market reach.
3. Providing Additional Benefits for SNAP Recipients - Opportunity for grocery delivery brands to offer additional benefits, like free DashPass membership for two months, to SNAP recipients to incentivize and enhance their online shopping experience.
Industry Implications
1. Grocery Delivery - Grocery delivery companies can disrupt the industry by incorporating online SNAP/EBT payments, expanding their customer base, and addressing food insecurity.
2. Food Retail - Food retailers can seize the opportunity to partner with grocery delivery brands to accept SNAP/EBT payments online, increasing sales and reaching a wider audience.
3. Social Impact - Companies focusing on social impact can disrupt the industry by partnering with grocery delivery brands and advocating for the integration of online SNAP/EBT payments, reducing food insecurity among SNAP recipients.
