Gopuff Accepting SNAP Payments

Gopuff is now accepting Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) payments for all eligible online purchases nationwide. 

With the launch, Gopuff said it is the first instant commerce company to gain approval from the United States Department of Agriculture for accepting SNAP payments, which now allows its micro-fulfillment centers and stores to accept online SNAP payments. 

“For more than a decade, we have been bringing high-quality, affordable food and pantry staples to customers in minutes,” said Yakir Gola, co-CEO and co-founder of Gopuff. “As we continue to advance our efforts to provide meaningful value to our customers, we are honored to now allow SNAP-eligible families access to the groceries they need in the fastest and most affordable way.” 

Officials with Gopuff said online access to groceries is not just a convenience for many SNAP shoppers, it’s a necessity: 

● One in five SNAP recipients has a disability, 

● Many serve as primary caregivers for more than nine hours per week, and 

● Many more live in food deserts with limited transportation options, making it difficult to access food. 

To enable SNAP payments on its platform, Gopuff engaged with Forage, the only USDA-approved third-party payment processor that offers best-in-class software combined with a dedicated team of in-house experts to guide retailers through the USDA’s tech integration authorization process.
