Pay with EBT

You can use your Electronic Benefit Transfer (EBT) card as a payment method on eligible items. Amazon.com accepts EBT cards for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF, also known as Cash).

Amazon has partnered with the U.S. government to allow Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) cards to be used as a payment method on eligible items. To sign up to use your EBT benefits on Amazon and a list of eligible states based on government guidelines, visit www.amazon.com/ebt.

In compliance with U.S. government regulations, you may register on EBT card to your online account at a time.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) is the federal organization managing the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP). The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) is the federal organization managing the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

Shipping restrictions apply based on state law. For more information about EBT delivery restrictions, go to EBT Frequently Asked Questions.
