JPMA and WIC

By developing the first mobile application for WIC participants, JPMA changed the relationship between WIC agencies and their participants.

Now, over 1,000,000 families rely on WICShopper each month to access the tools they need to thrive in the WIC program.  With an adoption rate of 90-95% in most programs, WICShopper has become the primary communication tool to help WIC agencies achieve the objectives for each client.

What is WICShopper?

WICShopper is a mobile app that helps WIC participants succeed in the WIC program.  Using the app, participants can view their real-time balances, scan products to ensure they can get them, view recipes, recall notices, video tutorials, store locations and other assets that your agency provides to ensure positive outcomes.

We completely customize WICShopper to your agency and convert your food list and other assets so that your participants always have them available… without carrying receipts or other paper.

Display WIC Balance

Participants tell us they use WICShopper every time they shop for WIC foods.  In states that support it, WICShopper automatically downloads the participant’s real-time benefits.  This means participants know exactly what they can purchase.

No more guessing or embarrassment at the register.  No more holding up the line and no more abandoned merchandise. Higher redemption.

Scan while shopping

WICShopper downloads the state’s Approved Product List nightly in every state we operate.  This means participants can use their camera to scan products as they shop to ensure that they are WIC-eligible in every state we support.

Agency Assets

WIC agencies create great resources for their participants.  Most of these resources live a quiet life on the State Agency website where they are seldom seen by participants.

WICShopper provides the vehicle to deliver educational and information assets to participants every time they shop.  We customize WICShopper to your agency with your videos, contact numbers, foods list and anything else we can deliver for you.

Foods List

We take your agency’s eligible food list and convert it to a mobile, searchable masterpiece that your participants will never leave at home.

Yummy Recipes

Our first objective is to help your WIC participants find their prescribed foods.  But we also want to education them with creative and delicious ways to prepare them.

We provide healthy, WIC-specific recipes that are provided by non-profit food advocates, WIC agencies and food providers to the WIC program.  Soon we will even be able to recommend recipes based on the food categories in their prescription.  Because that is awesome.

Life Hacks

Because people like to save time and money and to grow herbs in their baby food jars.

WICShopper Notifications

Moms are busy people.  That’s why WICShopper lets WIC participants set a reminder to notify them when their benefits are about to expire.

So convenient!

What a wonderful upgrade for Wic! The app is so simple to use! A nice feature is being able to scan the barcode of the product to see if it’s eligible too. Thumbs up to whom ever designed this app!

Love it!!!

I used it for the first time yesterday and when I took it to the register the cashier asked if I was sure I was approved for all that. I said “yes” although she made me question the app. Everything turned out to be approved and shopping was a breeze!

Awesome!

This app is the greatest!! Not only does it tell you if something is WIC approved but it shows you other things that are also available. I love that I can check my benefits when I’m out shopping instead of having to keep my receipts or have the cashier check it. It’s so helpful. I absolutely love it!!!

So handy!!!

The label scanner is just what every WIC mom needs! I could not imagine shopping without it REALY ! Because a lot of stores have WIC label underneath the product, but once you bring it to the register ,…. NOPE not it! Would give 10 stars , and recommend to all of the WIC users
