Step 3: Add EBT Card to Your Amazon Account
Once you have registered for Amazon Fresh or Amazon Pantry, you can add your EBT card to your Amazon account. This will allow you to use your EBT benefits to pay for groceries when checking out on Amazon. Simply enter the information from your EBT card when prompted during the registration process.
Step 4: Shop for Eligible Items
After adding your EBT card to your Amazon account, you can start shopping for eligible items. Amazon has a wide selection of groceries and other food items that qualify for EBT payment. Look for items marked with the EBT logo to ensure that they can be purchased using your benefits.
Step 5: Checkout with EBT Payment
