| How To Scan Kroger Card On App |
Step 1: Get the Kroger App (If You Haven't Already!)
First things first, do you have the Kroger app downloaded on your smartphone?
If not, let's get that done! Head over to your device's app store:
For iPhone users, open the App Store.
For Android users, open the Google Play Store.
In the search bar, type "Kroger" and hit search.
Look for the official Kroger app (it usually has the Kroger logo).
Tap "Install" or "Get" and let it download. This is your gateway to a world of savings!
Step 2: Create or Link Your Digital Account
Once the app is installed, you'll need to either create a new Kroger digital account or link your existing Shopper's Card to it. This is crucial for accessing all the benefits.
QuickTip: Repeat difficult lines until they’re clear.
Sub-heading: For New Kroger Shoppers
Open the Kroger App.
Look for an option to "Sign Up" or "Create Account."
Follow the prompts to enter your personal information (name, email address).
You'll likely be given the option to create a virtual Shopper's Card or link an existing one. If you don't have a physical card, creating a virtual one right here is perfectly fine! Many customers use their phone number as their "Alternate ID" in-store, which functions as their virtual card.
Set up a secure password.
Voila! You now have a digital Kroger account.
Sub-heading: For Existing Kroger Shoppers with a Physical Card
Open the Kroger App.
Tap on "Sign In."
Enter your email address and password if you already have a digital account.
If you have a physical Shopper's Card but haven't linked it to a digital account, you'll typically find an option within your Profile Information or Account Settings to "Link Shopper's Card Number."
Enter your Shopper's Card number (the long number on the back of your physical card) when prompted.
Alternatively, if you usually use your phone number at checkout, you can call Kroger customer service (1-877-576-7587, select option 4) to get your Kroger Plus card number to link it.
Step 3: Setting Up Kroger Pay (Your All-in-One Scan Solution!)
This is where the magic truly happens! Kroger Pay is designed to combine your loyalty card, digital coupons, and payment method into a single, scannable QR code. It's the most efficient way to "scan your Kroger card" on the app.
Open the Kroger App.
On the home screen, look for the "Kroger Pay" quick link, usually in the top left corner, or you might find it in the "More" menu.
Tap on "Kroger Pay."
You'll be guided through an enrollment process. This typically involves:
Setting up a four-digit PIN for security.
Adding your preferred payment method (credit card, debit card) to your digital wallet within the app. You'll need to enter the card details, including the CVV. Rest assured, Kroger Pay does not store your full card information directly on your device.
You might also have the option to enable Face ID or voice activation for even quicker access.
Once setup is complete, your Kroger Pay account is ready to use!
Step 4: Using Kroger Pay at the Register
Now for the moment of truth!
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
When you're ready to check out at a Kroger store (or any Kroger Family of Stores), open your Kroger app.
Tap on "Kroger Pay".
Enter your four-digit PIN or use your biometric authentication (Face ID, fingerprint) if you've enabled it.
A unique QR code will be generated on your screen. This QR code contains all your information: your linked Shopper's Card, any digital coupons you've loaded, and your chosen payment method.
At the register:
For self-checkout: Scan the QR code displayed on your phone directly on the scanner. Remember to select "Mobile" on the final display screen to complete your transaction after scanning.
For a cashier: Present your phone with the QR code to the cashier, and they will scan it for you.
That's it! Your loyalty points will be applied, your digital coupons will be automatically redeemed, and your payment will be processed – all in one swift scan. You'll see the digital coupon deductions clearly on your receipt as "ecpn."
Step 5: Managing Digital Coupons
One of the biggest perks of having your Kroger card on the app is the ease of managing digital coupons.
To find coupons: In the Kroger app, navigate to the "Savings" or "Digital Coupons" section.
Browse through the available coupons. You can often filter by category or sort by expiration date or value.
When you see a coupon you want, simply tap the "Clip" or "Load to Card" button. It's instantly linked to your digital Shopper's Card.
No need to print! These coupons will automatically apply when you use Kroger Pay or scan your linked Shopper's Card (or enter your Alternate ID) at checkout, provided you purchase the qualifying item.
Step 6: Checking Fuel Points
Another fantastic benefit of having your card on the app is tracking your fuel points.
Within the Kroger app, you'll usually find a section for "Fuel Points" or "Rewards."
Tap on it to see your current fuel point balance. This allows you to plan your fuel purchases and maximize your savings at Kroger Fuel Centers.
