Q. How does the Double Up discount work with an order from Organics to You?
The Small Bin is $45 at Organics to You. The Double Up discount would apply for anyone paying with SNAP at the door, and the discount will match the first $20 spent on fruits and veggies. That means you pay $20 with your SNAP EBT card and the Oregon Food Bank matches it with another $20. That's $40 and you would then cover the last $5 for the Small Bin. So you pay $25 with SNAP EBT at the door, and the discount covers $20.
A Bin for One is only $36, so the Double Up discount will be dollar for dollar. Double Up Food Bucks will match $18 and the customer will pay $18 with SNAP EBT at the door. A Bin for One ($36) plus a Salad Add-on ($20) is $56, so Double Up would match the max $20 and the customer would pay $36 with SNAP at the door.
Only produce items (fruits and veggies) are covered by the discount so groceries like milk, eggs, and rice will not be matched dollar for dollar. However, all non-produce groceries still are eligible for SNAP and would be added to the SNAP total due with your order.
Q. How does the customer pay with SNAP EBT?
Customers will be emailed payment instructions the day before their Organics to You delivery arrives. The customer must log in to enter their PIN and finalize the payment. Payment may be split among SNAP Dollars, EBT Cash, and/or credit/debit card. Driver tips and other non-SNAP-eligible items cannot be paid for with SNAP. Payment must be made by 3am on the day of delivery or the order will be cancelled. The customer is texted a 3-hour delivery window in which to expect the delivery, but the customer is not required to be at home. Delivery instructions can be added to an account if Orgnaics to You drivers need a door code to get, should leave it somewhere other than "at the front door", or any other special circumstances.
Q. What if the customer is not there to receive the order?
Customers no longer need to be home to accept their Organics to You deliveries. Since payment is now made online, the driver will just leave the order at your door. Please let us know if there are any special delivery instructions that our drivers need.
Q. Can a customer pay online with SNAP EBT?

Customers must log-in to enter their PIN to finalize payment for each order. Customers can also split payment over any combination of SNAP, EBT, and credit/debit card. Payments must be made by 3am on the day of delivery, or the order will be cancelled.
Q. Is there a limit on the amount of Double Up customers can earn and redeem at one time?
There is a limit of up to $20 per transaction. Auto-discounts provide up to a $20 match each transaction. So, if a customer spent $50 on fruits and veggies they would receive $20 off, and the new total would be $30.
Q. How does the customer get the Double Up discount?
The customer will earn the Double Up discount every time they purchase eligible items (see above) and pay using their SNAP benefits. All SNAP customers at Organics to You will automatically receive the Double Up discount on their account statement.
