| How To See Kroger Card On App |
Step 1: Embark on Your Digital Savings Adventure – Download the Kroger App!
First things first, let's get the Kroger app on your smartphone. This is the foundational step to accessing your digital card and all the perks that come with it.
For iPhone users: Open the App Store on your device.
For Android users: Open the Google Play Store on your device.
Once you're in your respective app store:
Search for "Kroger." You'll usually see the official Kroger app as one of the top results. Look for the familiar Kroger logo.
Tap "Install" or "Get." This will begin the download and installation process. Make sure you're connected to Wi-Fi to avoid using mobile data, especially if you have a limited plan.
Be Patient! The app will download and install itself. Once it's done, you'll see the Kroger icon on your home screen.
Step 2: Establish Your Digital Identity – Create or Sign In to Your Kroger Account
Now that the app is on your phone, it's time to either create a new Kroger digital account or sign in to your existing one. This digital account is the key that links your physical Kroger card (or creates a virtual one) to the app.
Sub-heading: For New Kroger Shoppers: Creating Your Digital Account
If you've never had a Kroger digital account before, don't worry, it's a straightforward process.
Open the Kroger App: Tap on the newly installed Kroger app icon.
Look for "Create Account" or "Register": You'll typically see options like "Sign In" and "Create Account" on the initial screen. Tap on Create Account.
Provide Your Information: The app will prompt you to enter essential details:
Email Address: Choose an email you regularly check. This will be your primary login ID.
Password: Create a strong, unique password.
Zip Code: This helps the app find your local Kroger store.
Preferred Store: Select your most frequently visited Kroger location.
Agree to Terms and Conditions: Read through them (or at least skim!) and then check the box to agree.
Link Your Shopper's Card (or Create a Virtual One): This is a crucial part of the registration.
If you have a physical Kroger Shopper's Card: The app will ask if you have a card number. Enter your 10 or 12-digit Shopper's Card number carefully. This links your existing card and its accumulated points/rewards to your new digital account.
If you don't have a physical Kroger Shopper's Card: You'll have the option to create a virtual card number (often called an Alt ID). Many customers choose their mobile phone number for this, but any 10-digit number can be used, as long as it's not already taken. This virtual card acts exactly like a physical one for earning rewards.
Complete Registration: Follow any final prompts to finalize your account creation. You might receive a confirmation email that you need to click to activate your account.
QuickTip: Revisit posts more than once.
Sub-heading: For Existing Kroger Digital Account Holders: Signing In
If you already have a Kroger digital account (perhaps you've used their website before), simply sign in.
Open the Kroger App: Tap on the Kroger app icon.
Tap "Sign In": You'll see this option prominently displayed.
Enter Your Credentials:
Email Address: Enter the email associated with your Kroger digital account.
Password: Enter your password.
Tap "Sign In": The app will log you into your account. If you've previously linked a Shopper's Card, it should automatically be accessible within the app.
Step 3: Discovering Your Digital Card – Locating It Within the App
Once you're logged in, finding your digital Kroger card is surprisingly simple. The app is designed to make accessing your loyalty information quick and easy.
Sub-heading: Using Kroger Pay for Seamless Access
The most common and convenient way to see and use your digital Kroger card is through Kroger Pay. This feature integrates your loyalty card, coupons, and payment method into one simple scan at checkout.
Navigate to Kroger Pay:
From the app's home screen, look for a prominent button or section labeled "Kroger Pay." It's often located in the top left corner or as a quick-access icon.
Tap on "Kroger Pay."
Generate Your QR Code: Once in Kroger Pay, the app will generate a unique QR code.
This QR code contains all your essential information: your Kroger Shopper's Card details, any clipped digital coupons, and your chosen payment method (if you've set it up).
Scan at Checkout: When you're at the register, simply open Kroger Pay and present this QR code to the scanner. It's one scan for everything – loyalty, coupons, and payment!
The barcode representing your Shopper's Card number is embedded within this QR code, making it incredibly efficient.
Sub-heading: Alternative: Viewing Your "Plus Card" Details (If Applicable)
While Kroger Pay is the recommended method for in-store use, you can also often find direct access to your card details.
Explore the App Menu:
Look for a menu icon (often three horizontal lines, sometimes called a "hamburger menu") typically located in a corner of the app screen (top-left or top-right).
Tap on the menu icon.
Find "Plus Card" or "My Account": Within the menu, you'll likely find an option like "Plus Card," "My Account," or "Loyalty Card."
View Card Details: Tapping on this option should display your Shopper's Card number and often a scannable barcode directly on the screen.
You can present this barcode to the cashier to scan if you're not using Kroger Pay.

Browse Weekly Ads & Coupons: On the app's home screen, look for sections like "Weekly Ad" or "Digital Coupons."
Tap to Clip: When you find a coupon you want, simply tap "Clip" or "Add to Card." The coupon is then linked to your digital card and will automatically apply when you purchase the qualifying item and scan your card (or use Kroger Pay). No more paper coupons!
Sub-heading: Tracking Fuel Points
Your Kroger card is also how you earn valuable fuel points. The app makes it easy to keep track.
Check Your Fuel Points: Within the app's menu or on the home screen, you'll often find a section dedicated to "Fuel Points."
Tap on this to see your current balance and how much you've saved at the pump.
Sub-heading: Building Shopping Lists
Plan your trips efficiently with the in-app shopping list feature.
Create a List: Add items to your shopping list directly from the weekly ad, or search for products.
In-Store Mode: Some Kroger apps even have an "In-Store Mode" that can organize your list by aisle, making your shopping experience quicker and less stressful.
Sub-heading: Managing Your Prescriptions
If you use Kroger Pharmacy, the app can be a huge time-saver.
Refill Prescriptions: You can often refill prescriptions directly through the app by entering the prescription number.
