In storeYesAmazon's in-store payment help page says to pay with SNAP EBT, visit a checkout lane at Whole Foods Market. The same page says you do not need to be a Prime member to shop at Whole Foods Market.[1]
OnlineYesAmazon's EBT FAQ says SNAP EBT funds can buy SNAP-eligible food from Whole Foods Market on Amazon, available in select regions. Cash EBT is not accepted at Whole Foods Market. SNAP cannot pay for tips, delivery or service fees, so you need a credit or debit card for those.[2]
PickupYesAmazon's EBT FAQ says Whole Foods Market grocery pickup is free on orders of $35 or more, available in select regions, and SNAP EBT can buy SNAP-eligible food from Whole Foods Market on Amazon.

Sources disagree: Two Amazon pages differ on the Whole Foods pickup minimum. The EBT FAQ says free pickup on orders of $35 or more. Amazon's separate SNAP page (aboutamazon.com) says free on any order size. Treat the minimum as unconfirmed and check at checkout.

DeliveryPartlySNAP EBT can pay for eligible food on Whole Foods delivery orders, but not for the delivery or service fee, which needs a credit or debit card. Whole Foods says USDA rules prohibit using SNAP funds for shipping, delivery or service fees.

Sources disagree: Amazon's EBT FAQ and its separate SNAP page (aboutamazon.com) list different Whole Foods delivery fee amounts, so we do not state an amount here.
