| Connecting Your Store Accounts | draft | 1.0 | 2026-03-20 | Step-by-step guide for linking Meijer, Kroger, and Target loyalty accounts to CartSnitch. |
Connecting Your Store Accounts
CartSnitch pulls your purchase history directly from your store loyalty accounts. No receipt photos, no barcode scanning — just your existing login credentials.
Supported Stores
| Store | Loyalty Program | What CartSnitch Imports |
|---|---|---|
| Meijer | mPerks | Purchase history, item prices, digital coupons |
| Kroger | Kroger Plus | Receipts, item prices, digital coupons |
| Target | Target Circle | Purchase history, deals |
More stores are on the roadmap (Walmart, Costco, Aldi). Request yours in the app.
How to Connect
- Open CartSnitch and go to Settings
- Tap Connect a Store
- Choose your store (Meijer, Kroger, or Target)
- Enter the email and password you use for that store's loyalty program
- Tap Connect
CartSnitch will verify your credentials and start importing your purchases. This usually takes under a minute for your recent history.

What We Access (and What We Don't)
We access:
- Your purchase history (what you bought, when, and how much you paid)
- Item prices and package sizes
- Digital coupon availability
We never access:
- Payment methods or credit card numbers
- Personal information beyond what's needed to log in
- Your store account settings or loyalty points balance
Your store credentials are encrypted and stored securely. CartSnitch never shares your data with third parties.
Disconnecting a Store
Changed your mind? Go to Settings > Connect a Store, find the connected store, and tap Disconnect. CartSnitch stops importing new data immediately. Your existing purchase history in CartSnitch remains available unless you delete your account.
Troubleshooting
"Connection failed" error Double-check that you're using the same email and password you use to log into the store's website or app. If you recently changed your store password, use the new one.
Purchases aren't showing up Some stores take a few hours to make recent purchases available through their systems. If you just shopped, check back later. If it's been more than 24 hours, try disconnecting and reconnecting the store.
Two-factor authentication If your store account uses two-factor authentication, you may need to temporarily adjust your security settings to connect. We're working on native 2FA support.
