Save time and money: Commissary CLICK2GO now accepts EBT/SNAP payments online
FORT GREGG-ADAMS, Va. – Commissary CLICK2GO, the Defense Commissary Agency’s (DeCA) online shopping and curbside pickup service, now accepts Electronic Benefits Transfer/Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (EBT/SNAP) payments online.
“We’re proud to now offer EBT/SNAP customers the ability to use their entitlement for online payment,” said DeCA Director and CEO John Hall. “The EBT/SNAP online payment program makes it even easier for our patrons to make their food dollar go farther with the convenience of online ordering, curbside pickup and payment using their SNAP EBT.”
Commissary CLICK2GO (CC2G) extended its services to commissary customers who participate in EBT/SNAP in all 50 states in October 2021. However, customers had to go inside the store to use their EBT/SNAP benefit to pay for their purchases. DeCA worked with the departments of Agriculture and Treasury to add the capability, and now customers can use their EBT/SNAP card when checking out via their shop.commissaries account.
The Commissary CLICK2GO payment processor currently accepts American Express, Discover, EBT/SNAP, Mastercard, Military Star and VISA for online and curbside payments.
EBT/SNAP is only available in the U.S., not at overseas locations. Customers use a card that’s similar to a credit or debit card to access their benefits. The EBT/SNAP account of a participant is debited to reimburse the store for the SNAP authorized items they purchase.
“SNAP helps many families stretch their budget and put healthy food on the table each month,” Hall said. “Making it easier for them to do so through CLICK2GO is another way of showing DeCA cares about the well-being of our military community.”
