Target guests in select states can now pay for eligible grocery items with their Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits on Target.com. This new online payment method is in addition to the option SNAP recipients already have to use their benefits to buy groceries in Target stores.

Target has accepted SNAP payments in its stores for years, and SNAP benefits are currently accepted at every Target location in the US. According to Target, SNAP recipients will soon be able to use their benefits to order groceries via the Target mobile app, too.

When using their SNAP benefits, guests can access Target’s contactless same-day services like Order Pickup and Drive Up. There’s no minimum fee or subscription required! Even though SNAP benefits can’t be redeemed through the Target App yet, shoppers can still use their Target Circle offers to score additional savings on their SNAP-eligible purchases.
