- Which online retailers will take payment from my EBT card?
You can use your EBT card to buy groceries online. To find grocery retailers you can use, check the list for Missouri. More retailers may be added later.

You can buy the same approved food items you would usually buy in a store. Retailers will display a SNAP-EBT logo for food items you can buy online.

It depends on the type of benefits you get:

- Who should I contact if I have a question about an online order?
You will need to contact the online retailer or store directly for help with your order.
- Is using my EBT card online secure?
Yes. You will need to enter your personal identification number (PIN) when buying groceries online. Participating retailers are working with a company to offer secure PIN entry while shopping online.
