| How To Find Kroger Card On App |
Step 1: Ensure You Have the Kroger App and an Account
Alright, let's get started! The very first thing you need to do, if you haven't already, is to download the Kroger app and set up your digital account. This is the foundation for accessing your digital Shopper's Card and all the fantastic features.
Sub-heading: Downloading the App
For Android Users: Open the Google Play Store on your smartphone. In the search bar, type "Kroger" and hit enter. Look for the official "Kroger" app (it usually has a distinct green logo with the Kroger "K"). Tap "Install" and wait for it to download.
For iOS (iPhone) Users: Open the App Store on your iPhone. Tap the "Search" icon at the bottom right. In the search bar, type "Kroger" and tap "Search." Find the official "Kroger" app and tap "Get" (you might need to confirm with your Face ID, Touch ID, or password).
Sub-heading: Creating or Logging into Your Digital Account
Once the app is downloaded, open it. You'll likely be greeted with an option to "Sign In" or "Create Account."
If You Already Have a Kroger.com Account or Shopper's Card:
Tap "Sign In."
Enter your email address and password associated with your Kroger digital account.
If you've forgotten your password, look for a "Forgot Password?" link to reset it.
Crucial Note: If you previously only had a physical Shopper's Card but no digital account, you'll need to link your card during this process. The app will usually prompt you to enter your Shopper's Card number (the long number on the back of your physical card) or the phone number associated with it. This links your existing card to your new digital account.
If You're a New Kroger Customer or Don't Have a Digital Account:
Tap "Create Account."
Follow the on-screen prompts. You'll typically need to provide your name, email address, and create a password.
The app will then guide you through the process of creating a virtual Shopper's Card or linking an existing physical one. If you don't have a physical card, it will generate a digital one for you. Many customers choose to use their phone number as their "Alt ID" (Alternate ID), which acts as a virtual card number you can use in-store if you don't have your physical card or phone handy.
Tip: Look for examples to make points easier to grasp.
Step 2: Navigating to Your Digital Shopper's Card
Now that you're logged into your Kroger app, finding your digital card is straightforward. The exact location might vary slightly based on app updates, but generally, it's easily accessible from the main screen or through a dedicated "Wallet" or "Account" section.
Sub-heading: The Quickest Way (Usually on the Home Screen)
Upon logging in, many users will see a prominent barcode icon or a button labeled "Shopper's Card," "My Card," or "Kroger Pay" directly on the app's home screen. This is often designed for quick access at checkout.
Tap on this icon or button. This will typically display your unique digital barcode and sometimes your Shopper's Card number. This barcode is what you'll scan at the self-checkout or have the cashier scan at a staffed register.
Sub-heading: Via the "My Account" or "Wallet" Section
If you don't immediately see it on the home screen, or if you want to explore more card-related options, here's where to look:
Look for the Menu Icon: This is usually represented by three horizontal lines (often called a "hamburger menu") in the top-left or top-right corner of the app, or sometimes a "Profile" or "Account" icon at the bottom navigation bar.
Tap the Menu Icon: This will open a side menu or a new screen with various options.
Find "My Account" or "Wallet":
Look for an option like "My Account," "Profile," or "Wallet." Tap on it.
Within this section, you should find a clear option to view your "Shopper's Card," "Plus Card," or "Digital ID."
Pro Tip: Many apps, including Kroger, integrate the Shopper's Card into their "Kroger Pay" feature. If you set up Kroger Pay, your digital card is automatically included in the one-scan payment process.
Step 3: Using Your Digital Kroger Card at Checkout
You've found your digital card! Excellent! Now, let's ensure you know how to use it seamlessly during your shopping trip.
Sub-heading: At the Register (Cashier or Self-Checkout)
Open the Kroger App: Have the app open and navigate to the screen displaying your digital Shopper's Card barcode.
Scan the Barcode:
At a staffed checkout: Present your phone with the barcode facing up to the cashier. They will scan it with their barcode scanner.
At self-checkout: Locate the barcode scanner (it's often a red light scanner). Position your phone so the barcode is flat against the scanner's window until you hear a beep, indicating it has been successfully scanned.
Enter Your Alt ID (Phone Number): If for any reason the barcode isn't scanning, or if your phone battery dies, you can always enter the phone number associated with your Kroger account (your Alt ID) on the keypad at the register. This works just like scanning your physical card.

Kroger Pay is a fantastic feature that combines your Shopper's Card and payment into one quick scan.
Set Up Kroger Pay (if you haven't):
Within the Kroger app, look for the "Kroger Pay" option (often on the home screen or in the "My Account"/"Wallet" section).
Follow the prompts to link your preferred credit or debit card to Kroger Pay and set up a PIN for security.
At Checkout with Kroger Pay:
Open the Kroger app and tap "Kroger Pay."
Enter your Kroger Pay PIN (or use Face ID/Touch ID if enabled).
A unique QR code will appear on your screen. This QR code contains both your Shopper's Card information (including clipped digital coupons) and your payment method.
Scan the QR Code: Present the QR code to the cashier or at the self-checkout scanner. A single scan will apply your discounts and complete your payment. It's incredibly fast and efficient!
Step 4: Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes, technology can be a bit finicky. Here are a few common issues and quick fixes.
Sub-heading: Digital Card Not Appearing or Loading
Check Your Internet Connection: Ensure you have a stable Wi-Fi or cellular data connection. The app needs to connect to Kroger's servers to retrieve your account information.
Update the App: Outdated app versions can sometimes cause glitches. Go to your app store (Google Play Store or App Store) and check if there's an update available for the Kroger app.
Restart the App: Close the Kroger app completely (swipe it away from your recent apps) and then reopen it.
Clear App Cache (Android Only): Go to your phone's Settings > Apps > Kroger > Storage > Clear Cache. This can resolve minor data conflicts.
Reinstall the App: As a last resort, if issues persist, try uninstalling and then reinstalling the Kroger app. Make sure you know your login credentials before doing this!
Sub-heading: Digital Coupons Not Applying
Ensure Coupons are Clipped: Digital coupons must be "clipped" (added to your card) in the app before you scan your card at checkout. You can check your "My Coupons" section to see what's active.
Verify Item Eligibility: Make sure you're purchasing the exact item, size, and quantity specified by the coupon.
Check Expiration Dates: Digital coupons have expiration dates. Ensure the coupon is still valid.
One per Household: Most digital coupons are limited to one per household. If you've used it before, it won't apply again.
Scan Your Card First: Always scan your Shopper's Card (or use Kroger Pay) before payment to ensure all digital coupons are applied.
By following these steps, you should have no trouble finding and utilizing your Kroger card on the app, maximizing your savings and making your grocery runs smoother than ever!
