Step 1: Embark on Your Digital Savings Journey! (Choose Your Path)
The first and most crucial step is deciding how you want to create your account. Do you prefer the ease of a website, or are you a mobile app enthusiast? Both options get you to the same fantastic destination, so choose what feels right for you!
Option A: The Kroger Website (
www.kroger.com Option B: The Kroger Mobile App: Ideal for on-the-go shoppers who want quick access to their account, coupons, and shopping lists right from their smartphone. You can download it from your device's app store (Google Play Store for Android, Apple App Store for iOS).
For the purpose of this guide, we'll walk through the website method, but the steps are very similar on the app!
Step 2: Initiating the Registration Process
Once you've chosen your preferred platform, it's time to begin!
Sub-heading: Finding the "Register" Button
On the website: Look for a prominent button or link that says "Register", "Sign In/Register", or "Create Account". It's usually located in the top right corner of the homepage.
On the mobile app: After opening the app, you'll likely see similar prompts to "Sign In" or "Create Account".
Click or tap on that button to proceed.
Step 3: Providing Your Essential Information
Now, the system will ask for some basic details to set up your account.
Sub-heading: Email Address and Password
Email Address: Enter a valid email address that you regularly check. This will be your primary login ID for your Kroger Digital Account and where you'll receive important communications, personalized offers, and account confirmations.
Create a Password: Choose a strong, unique password that you'll remember but isn't easily guessed. It's always a good idea to mix uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters.
Sub-heading: Linking Your Shopper's Card (or Creating a New One)
This is a critical part of the process, as your digital account is directly tied to your Shopper's Card benefits.
If you already have a Kroger Plus Shopper's Card: You'll be prompted to enter your existing 12-digit Shopper's Card number. This will link your physical card to your new digital account, ensuring all your accumulated benefits, fuel points, and clipped coupons are accessible. If you use your phone number at the register instead of a physical card, you might need to call Kroger customer service (usually 1-800-576-4377) to retrieve your actual 12-digit card number.
If you don't have a Kroger Plus Shopper's Card: No problem! The system will give you the option to "Create a new Alt ID" (Alternate ID) or a "virtual card number." This usually involves using your 10-digit mobile phone number as your Alt ID. This allows you to get all the Shopper's Card benefits without carrying a physical card. Make sure it's a number you'll remember and use at checkout!
Sub-heading: Location Details
Zip Code: Enter your zip code to help Kroger identify your local store and provide relevant ads and offers.
Favorite Store Selection: You'll be asked to select your preferred Kroger store. This ensures you see the correct weekly ad and available products for your shopping location. You can always change this later if needed.
Sub-heading: Terms and Conditions
Read and Agree: Before finalizing, you'll need to read and agree to Kroger's terms and conditions. It's always a good practice to quickly skim through these, even if you don't read every single word.
Step 4: Account Creation and Verification
You're almost there! This step confirms your identity and activates your account.
Sub-heading: Clicking "Create Account"
After filling in all the required information, click on the "Create Account" button.

Kroger will send a verification email to the address you provided. This is a crucial security measure to ensure your account is legitimate.
