How To Use Ebt For Walmart Pickup |
Step 1: Signing Up for the Adventure (and by Adventure, We Mean Creating a Walmart Account)
First things first, you'll need a Walmart account. Don't worry, it's free and takes about five minutes, which is less time than it takes to explain to your grandma why you don't need 17 boxes of instant mashed potatoes.

Once you've got your account, head over to the "SNAP Online" section. Yes, "SNAP" stands for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, but you can think of it as your "Super Neat Awesome Pantry" superpower.
Step 2: Adding Your EBT Card (Your Secret Weapon)
Now comes the exciting part: adding your EBT card to your account. This is like equipping your hero with their trusty weapon (except your weapon is a card, and it dispenses delicious food, not lasers).
Tip: Reread complex ideas to fully understand them.![]()
Here's a pro tip: Make sure your EBT card is eligible for online transactions. Not all states are on board yet, but you can check with your local agency to be sure.
Step 3: Shopping Like a Boss (With a Budget)
Now for the fun part: browsing the aisles (virtually, of course)!
