This department store does not have any mobile apps and it doesn’t have an online store either, so you can only pay for your products in person when you shop there. You can use Apple Pay, Google Pay, and other mobile wallets that use contactless payments at dd’s and it also accepts cash, debit, and credit cards. Unlike a few other department stores, it doesn’t accept PayPal or Venmo, though.

Unlike most department stores, dd’s accepts EBT. It’s rare for department stores to accept this form of payment because they usually don’t sell enough food to meet the program standards. Big-box discount stores like Walmart and Target also sell enough groceries to accept EBT even though they also sell a lot of clothing, though, and you could also consider these stores to be department stores.

Aside from that, you can use branded gift cards at dd’s but you can’t use any BNPL apps there. This might be because it’s a deep discount store or because it sells groceries since these types of stores are less likely to offer buy now, pay later options. It doesn’t have a store credit card either, unlike many other department stores.

Background Information and Profile for dd’s

You can think of dd’s as the outlet store version of Ross, which is also a discount department store. Like Ross, shoppers go to dd’s to feel like they’re going on a treasure hunt to find unexpected bargains. The merchandise at dd’s stores depends on what its buyers were able to obtain at overstock and closeout sales so its selection may vary between store locations.

Because this store sells new, brand-name clothing, you might find some products there for much lower prices than what they cost at other department stores. Of course, you could also visit a thrift store like Goodwill or a vintage store like Buffalo Outlet to buy clothing for very low prices as well. It’s likely that other outlet clothing stores will have higher prices than dd’s even though they’re discount stores.

Stores Like dd’s Where You Can Also Use Apple Pay

You can also buy clothing for low prices at the discount department store Old Navy, which is owned by the GAP. Like dd’s, it operates department stores that have multiple departments.

The vintage store Buffalo Exchange sells lots of fashionable retro clothing and is popular with local artists and musicians. If you visit its stores you might see flyers for local shows there.

Another discount department store that sells a wide variety of merchandise is Burlington. It was originally called Burlington Coat Factory but it doesn’t just sell coats so I think the new name is better.

You can also buy toys, furniture, groceries, and many other products at Big Lots warehouse stores. Big Lots also sells overstock and closeout products from major brands.

At the off-price department store Marshalls you can buy beauty products, clothing, and other merchandise.

The department store Bealls also has its own outlet store, Burkes Outlet, where you can buy brand-name clothing for low prices.

Thrift stores are another option if you’re looking to save money. You can buy previously worn clothing as well as used household goods at Goodwill.
