Accept EBT / SNAP with your FNS number
If your store is authorized by USDA Food and Nutrition Service (FNS), you can accept EBT / SNAP at the register. You use your own FNS number. LoftyPOS does not authorize stores and is not an FNS program.
How it works at the register
-
Items are marked
Each item is marked eligible or not, using the rules of the state where your store is. An item nobody has reviewed is never treated as EBT.
-
The customer pays with EBT
EBT Food pays for eligible items first. The rest can be paid with EBT Cash, cash or card, split however the customer wants.
-
The receipt is clear
The receipt shows what was paid with EBT, which items are eligible, and the tax that was not charged on EBT Food.
Rules change, the register keeps up
Some states change what EBT can buy. We follow the state pages, update the rules the register uses, and email you before a change starts. You can also fix an item yourself in the owner portal.
What you need
- An active FNS authorization for your store (your FNS number).
- An EBT-capable payment terminal from your processor.
- Items reviewed in your catalog. We help with the first pass.
State rules and program requirements change. Ask your state agency or FNS if you are unsure what your store may accept.
