| How To View Kroger Card In App |
Step 1: Are You App-Ready? Download & Log In!
Before we can view your Kroger Card, we need to ensure you have the correct tool for the job – the Kroger app!
Sub-heading: Getting the Kroger App
For Android Users: Open the Google Play Store on your device. In the search bar at the top, type "Kroger" and hit enter. Look for the official "Kroger" app (usually developed by "The Kroger Co.") and tap "Install."
For Apple (iOS) Users: Open the App Store on your iPhone or iPad. Tap the "Search" tab at the bottom right, then type "Kroger" in the search bar. Find the official "Kroger" app and tap "Get," then "Install."
Sub-heading: Logging In or Creating Your Digital Account
Once the app is installed, open it up.
Existing Account? If you already have a Kroger.com account, simply tap "Sign In" and enter your email address and password.
New to Kroger Digital? No worries! Tap "Register" or "Create Account." You'll be prompted to enter some basic information like your name, email, and to create a password.
Important Note: During the registration process, you'll be asked to link your Kroger Shopper's Card. If you already have a physical card, enter its number. If not, the app will allow you to create a virtual card number, which serves the same purpose and links directly to your digital account. This is crucial for accessing all the benefits.
Step 2: Navigating to Your Digital Card
Tip: Check back if you skimmed too fast.
Now that you're logged in, finding your digital Kroger Card is straightforward. The app is designed for easy access to your loyalty information.
Sub-heading: The Home Screen Advantage (Kroger Pay)
The most direct way to access your digital card for use at checkout is often through Kroger Pay.
Locate "Kroger Pay": On the app's home screen, you'll typically see an option for "Kroger Pay" prominently displayed, often in the top left corner. Tap on this.
Generate Your QR Code: Once you tap "Kroger Pay," the app will generate a unique QR code. This QR code isn't just for payment; it actually contains your loyalty card information and any loaded digital coupons! When you scan this at checkout, it acts as your Kroger Card and applies discounts. It's an all-in-one solution.
Pro Tip: For a truly seamless experience, ensure your preferred payment method is linked within Kroger Pay's settings. This allows for a single scan to apply your card, coupons, and complete your payment.
Sub-heading: Finding Your Card Details in "My Account" or "Profile"
If you want to view your actual Kroger Plus Card number or manage its details, you'll usually find this information within your account settings.
Access the Menu: Look for a menu icon (often three horizontal lines, sometimes called a "hamburger menu") or an icon that signifies "My Account" or "Profile." This is usually in the top corner of the app.
Navigate to Account Details: Tap on "My Account," "Profile Information," or a similar option.
Locate "Shopper's Card Number" or "Plus Card": Within this section, you should see a heading or option related to your "Shopper's Card Number," "Plus Card," or "Loyalty Card." Tapping on this will display your card number.
Why you might need this: While Kroger Pay is fantastic for in-store use, knowing your actual card number can be helpful for online orders where Kroger Pay isn't an option, or if you ever need to provide it for customer service inquiries.
Step 3: Verifying and Utilizing Your Digital Card
Once you've located your digital card or the Kroger Pay QR code, you're ready to put it to use!
Sub-heading: At the Checkout Register
Using Kroger Pay: When you're ready to pay at a Kroger store, open the app, tap "Kroger Pay," and hold your phone with the QR code displayed under the scanner at the register. The system will automatically read your loyalty information and apply any relevant digital coupons and fuel points. It's incredibly efficient.
Using Your Alt ID (Phone Number): If you linked your phone number to your Kroger Card during registration, you can also simply enter that phone number on the keypad at the register. The system will then pull up your loyalty account. While not viewing your card in the app, it's a popular alternative to the physical card.
QuickTip: Read a little, pause, then continue.
Sub-heading: Checking Your Benefits and History
The app isn't just for scanning; it's a powerful hub for managing your Kroger loyalty.
Digital Coupons: On the main menu, look for "Digital Coupons." Here you can browse and "clip" coupons directly to your Shopper's Card. When you scan your digital card or use Kroger Pay, these savings are automatically applied!
Fuel Points: Find the "Fuel Points" or "Rewards" section in the app. This will show you how many fuel points you've accumulated and how much you can save per gallon at Kroger Fuel Centers or participating Shell stations.
Purchase History: Many users find the "Purchase History" valuable. It allows you to review past transactions, which can be great for budgeting or remembering items you bought previously.

Step 4: Troubleshooting Common Issues
Sometimes technology can be a bit finicky. Here are a few common issues and their quick fixes.
Sub-heading: "My Card Isn't Showing Up!"
Check Your Internet Connection: The app needs a stable internet connection to load your account information. Ensure you're connected to Wi-Fi or have mobile data enabled.
Log Out and Back In: A simple logout and login can often refresh the app and resolve display issues.
Update the App: Make sure your Kroger app is updated to the latest version. App updates often contain bug fixes and performance improvements. Check your device's app store for pending updates.
Clear App Cache (Android Only): Go to your phone's Settings > Apps (or Applications) > Kroger > Storage, then tap "Clear Cache." This can resolve minor data conflicts. Do NOT clear data, as this will log you out.
Sub-heading: "Kroger Pay Isn't Working!"
Ensure Payment Method is Linked: Double-check within the Kroger Pay settings that a valid payment method (credit/debit card) is securely linked.
Check for App Updates: Again, ensure the app is fully updated.
Restart Your Phone: Sometimes a quick phone restart can clear up underlying software glitches.
Ask the Cashier: If all else fails, don't hesitate to ask the cashier for assistance. They are often familiar with common app issues and can provide your loyalty discount by having you enter your phone number.
