District of Columbia WIC Program Online Shopping Project
Project Summary:
Washington, District of Columbia WIC (DC WIC), in partnership with FIS/CDP, will implement WIC online shopping at Safeway utilizing the Mercato e-Commerce platform. Mercato is a flexible platform capable of reaching both chain and independent vendors by integrating with existing point-of-sale (POS) systems. Once fully enabled, additional DC WIC-authorized retailers can easily offer online shopping to WIC families by connecting with Mercato. Additionally, DC WIC plans to adopt Walmart’s existing WIC online shopping solution expanding the reach of WIC online shopping to additional DC WIC families.
