Step 1: Engage with the Kroger App (Your Digital Gateway)

Sub-heading: Downloading and Setting Up the Kroger App
Find the App: Open the App Store on your iPhone.
Search for Kroger: In the search bar, type "Kroger" and hit search. Look for the official "Kroger" app (it usually has the Kroger logo).
Download and Install: Tap the "Get" button and then "Install." You might need to authenticate with Face ID, Touch ID, or your Apple ID password.
Open the App: Once installed, tap "Open" to launch the Kroger app.
Sign In or Create Account:
If you already have a Kroger digital account: Tap "Sign In" and enter your email address and password.
If you're new to Kroger's digital world: Tap "Create Account." You'll be prompted to enter details like your email, create a password, and link your existing Kroger Plus Card number. If you don't have a physical card, you can often create a virtual card number directly within the app during registration. Make sure your Kroger Plus Card is successfully linked to your digital account. This is key for your discounts and fuel points to register.
Step 2: Locating Your Kroger Plus Card within the App
Once you're signed into the Kroger app, you need to navigate to where your loyalty card information is displayed. The exact location might vary slightly with app updates, but generally, it's found in a "Wallet," "Rewards," or "My Account" section.
Sub-heading: Finding Your Digital Card
Navigate to Your Account/Wallet: Look for an icon that resembles a person or a wallet at the bottom or top of the app screen. Tap on it.
Locate Your Plus Card: Within this section, you should see an option like "My Wallet," "Kroger Pay," or "Loyalty Card." Tap on it. You should see a digital representation of your Kroger Plus Card, often with a barcode or QR code.
QuickTip: Skim slowly, read deeply.
Step 3: The "Add to Apple Wallet" Magic Button
This is where the direct integration happens. Kroger, like many other retailers, provides a convenient way to add your loyalty card directly to your Apple Wallet from within their app.
Sub-heading: Initiating the Transfer
Look for the Apple Wallet Icon: On the screen displaying your digital Kroger Plus Card (often with the barcode), look for an icon that says "Add to Apple Wallet" or a similar button. This is typically a black button with the Apple Wallet logo and white text. It might be subtly placed, so look carefully!
Tap to Add: Tap on the "Add to Apple Wallet" button.
Review and Confirm: Your iPhone will then present a preview of how your Kroger Plus Card will appear in Apple Wallet. It will usually show the card's name (Kroger Plus Card), your card number (or a masked version), and potentially a scannable barcode/QR code. Review the details to ensure they are correct.
Finalize Addition: Tap the "Add" button in the top right corner of the screen.
Voil�! Your Kroger Plus Card should now be successfully added to your Apple Wallet.
Step 4: Verifying and Using Your Kroger Plus Card in Apple Wallet
Now that it's in your Apple Wallet, let's make sure it's there and ready for action.
Sub-heading: Checking Your Wallet
Open Apple Wallet: Go to your iPhone's home screen and tap the "Wallet" app icon.
Find Your Kroger Card: Scroll through your cards in Apple Wallet. You should see your "Kroger Plus Card" among them. It might appear behind your payment cards, so scroll down if needed.
Sub-heading: How to Use It at the Store
Tip: Read mindfully — avoid distractions.
At Checkout: When you're ready to check out at Kroger, simply open your Apple Wallet.
Select Kroger Plus Card: Tap on your Kroger Plus Card in the Wallet app.
Scan the Barcode/QR Code: The cashier or self-checkout scanner can then scan the barcode or QR code displayed on your iPhone screen. This will apply your loyalty benefits, discounts, and fuel points automatically.
Important Note: While some loyalty programs integrate with Apple Pay for a single tap (payment + loyalty), Kroger Pay is often used for this integrated experience within their own app. Adding the Kroger Plus Card to Apple Wallet primarily provides a convenient way to access and scan your loyalty barcode without needing the physical card or opening the full Kroger app for just the barcode. For truly integrated payment and loyalty, consider exploring Kroger Pay within the Kroger app, which combines your Plus Card and payment method into one QR code scan.
