Accepting SNAP/EBT Payments for qualified goods

[ryanhalst]

Hello,

I am interested finding ways for small farms to sell their food online to SNAP/EBT customers. Does Shopify or Amazon Pay offer methods of accepting SNAP payments so that customer transactions can be handled online?

Thank you for your time,

Ryan

So N_Abey, are you processing EBT payments? My company is forced to go through a third-party payment processor and we have to foot the bill for the API integration. Thus, we will make an app for others to use, unless there is a solotion that's out there, already. 

[N_Abey]

Dear @Chrischurch1,

We are a Shopify partner and an application developer. As an organisation, we are specialised in integrating third party payment gateways/Payment processors into Shopify stores. 

Unfortunately, each Shopify Merchant must find a suitable payment processor and signup directly if they wish to process EBT/SNAP payments. Once this step is completed, you will need to complete payment processor integration process through us or with any other application development agency.

Dear @N_Abey 

We recently signed up with Totilpay Go for their mobile POS service. Please let me know what your organisation's terms are to integrate this payment party into my shopify store.

Hi NAbey--we currently use Shopify and separate process SNAP/EBT through Totilpay, and we're interested in integrating SNAP into our Shopify account. Can you please reach out to me when you have a chance? df@esynyc.org

Thanks!

hi @esynyc ,

Unfortunately Totilpay do not have a eCommerce payment gateway facility. We have already communicated with them earlier and they have confirmed they only support POS facility.

Other alternative is to sign up with an alternative payment gateway provider who can provide e-commerce payment gateway with SNAP/EBT facility. e.g CardKnox, Square etc.. then we will be able to integrate them without an issue. 

[esynyc]

i @N_Abey , we also use WorldPay as our processor in conjunction with TotilPay--would utilizing WorldPay work?

[N_Abey]

Dear @esynyc Dan,

We have drop you an email too.

As long as your WorldPay merchant account can accept SNAP/EBT payments, we can integrate them for you without an issue.

Please confirm first it is possible. Once this is clarified, we are happy to assist you in integrating your Worldpay merchant account as a SNAP/EBT checkout payment option on your Shopify store.

Hi @N_Abey 

I'm very interested in being able to process SNAP/EBT payments. Can you please email me at contact@saltygirlfarmstand.com with the info please?

Thank you!

[Chrischurch1]

Hi - 

We at Advanced Targeting Agency are finishing up our first EBT/SNAP integration. As N_Abey has mentioned you need a gateway payment processor. It took a while, but we teamed up with a world-class gateway payment processor, published the API, and are rolling it out on Word Press and Shopify.  With the API you can integrate it yourself or hire N_Abey. I recommend you hire a third party like N_Abey because it requires a little extra programming. We get a referral credit, so, email mail me at chris@advancedtargeting.agency and I will introduce you to the payment processor. 

[MesaRoseFarms]

@N_Abey  Could you please email me with some information on integrating our system to accept EBT/SNAP.

Thanks!

Steve

[Chrischurch1]

I am working with Card Knox. 

[HarvickFarms]

I am in the process myself and have been SNAP approved by the USDA but trying to get it working with Shopify POS and online does not seem to be easy. How do you accept SNAP benefits in store? Through Shopify or through another alternative system?

[AnasaKai]

No I haven’t 😞 I was looking for the plug in on the App Store but no luck yet.
Once I do I will post it

[circle-c-farm]

Ok, great, thanks, me too!!!

[ORTODIRECT]

Hi,  Can you please email me directly with more information about this?  lindsey@thepenrosegroup.ca

Our store ortodirect.com is looking to become an approved online snap retailer but we don't know if we need to use world pay or not

[RobFarmLink]

Has anyone engaged with @N_Abey or others to develop this? If anyone has started or is interested, we should get together and have a group discussion to see if we can all contribute on the development costs and evaluate a few different Shopify development firms to find the best one.

It doesn't seem like Totilpay or Worldpay accept EBT online, only at point-of-sale.

Please reach out to me at rob@farmlinkhawaii.com if you're serious about getting this initiative going.

[N_Abey]

Dear @RobFarmLink
