Sprouts only accepts SNAP EBT for in-store purchases, not online or catering orders, reports First Quarter Finance.
Your EBT card works just like a regular credit or debit card. After shopping in-store, swipe your EBT card through the card reader and enter your PIN to pay for your eligible items. If you’re purchasing items that don’t qualify for SNAP or if you don’t have enough funds in your SNAP account, you’ll need to pay for those with a separate form of payment.
To return items, Sprouts Farmers Market policies state that a refund will be made to your EBT card, but your receipt and original card are required.
