| How To Access Kroger Card On App |
Step 1: Download the Kroger App - Your Gateway to Savings!
This is where your journey begins! Without the app, you can't access your digital Kroger card.
Sub-heading: Find Your App Store
For iPhone users: Open the App Store icon on your device. It's usually a blue icon with a white "A" in a circle.
For Android users: Open the Google Play Store icon on your device. It's typically a colorful triangle icon.
Sub-heading: Search and Install
Search: In the search bar of your respective app store, type "Kroger" and hit search.
Locate: Look for the official Kroger app. It usually has the Kroger logo (a green "K" with a stylized "Kroger" text). Make sure it's published by "The Kroger Co." to avoid unofficial apps.
Install: Tap the "Get" or "Install" button. You might need to enter your password, use Face ID, or your fingerprint to confirm the download.
Open: Once the download is complete, tap "Open" to launch the Kroger app. You can also find the new Kroger app icon on your device's home screen or in your app drawer.
Step 2: Create or Log In to Your Digital Account - Connecting Your Card
This is the crucial step where you link your physical Shopper's Card to your digital profile, or create a new one if you don't have a card yet.
QuickTip: Let each idea sink in before moving on.
Sub-heading: Existing Kroger Account Holders
Tap "Sign In": On the app's welcome screen, look for the "Sign In" option.
Enter Credentials: Input your registered email address and password.
Troubleshooting Login Issues:
Forgot Password? Tap the "Forgot Password" link and follow the prompts to reset it.
Email Address Not Recognized? It's possible you've received emails from Kroger without having a full digital account. You'll need to create a new digital account in this case (see next sub-heading).
Card Number Already Associated? If your Shopper's Card number is linked to another digital account (perhaps an old email or another family member), you might need to contact Kroger Customer Service to resolve this.
Sub-heading: New to Kroger Digital Accounts (or Don't Have a Shopper's Card)
Tap "Create Account": If you're new, select the "Create Account" option on the app's main screen.
Enter Your Information: You'll be prompted to enter:
Your email address.
Create a password.
Your ZIP code (this helps tailor offers to your local store).
Crucially, you'll also be asked to link your Shopper's Card number. This is typically the 11, 12, or 13-digit number found on the back of your physical card, usually starting with a '4'.
Don't Have a Physical Card? No Problem! The app will give you the option to create a new digital Shopper's Card during this registration process. You'll simply need to provide your information, and a digital card will be assigned to your account.
Verify Your Account: Kroger may send a verification email to the address you provided. Be sure to check your inbox (and spam/junk folder) and click the verification link to activate your account.
Step 3: Accessing Your Digital Kroger Card - Ready to Scan!
Once logged in, your digital Kroger card is usually just a tap away.
Sub-heading: Finding Your Card for In-Store Use
Navigate to "Kroger Pay" or "My Wallet": Most Kroger app versions have a prominent "Kroger Pay" button or a "My Wallet" section on the home screen or within the main menu. This is your quickest way to access your digital card.
Look for it in the top left corner of the homescreen or within the main navigation menu.
Generate QR Code/Barcode: Tapping on "Kroger Pay" will typically generate a unique QR code that includes both your loyalty card information and your selected payment method (if you've set up Kroger Pay).
If you're just looking for your loyalty barcode, you might find a "Shopper's Card" or "Plus Card" option within "My Wallet" that displays a scannable barcode.
Scan at Checkout: When you're at the register (either self-checkout or with a cashier), simply present your phone with the QR code or barcode displayed. The cashier will scan it, applying your digital coupons and loyalty benefits automatically.
Pro Tip: Brightness matters! Make sure your phone screen brightness is turned up so the scanner can easily read the code.
Sub-heading: Setting Your Preferred Store
 |
To ensure you see the most relevant weekly ads and personalized offers, it's a good idea to set your preferred Kroger store within the app. You can usually find this option on the home screen or within your profile settings.

Set Up Payment Methods: If you haven't already, add your preferred payment methods (credit/debit cards) to your Kroger Pay wallet within the app. This is done in the "My Wallet" or "Kroger Pay" settings.
One-Scan Checkout: When using Kroger Pay, your loyalty card, clipped digital coupons, and payment are all handled with a single scan of the generated QR code. It's incredibly fast and convenient.
