Request to separating EBT from Non-EBT items at checkout

092 — Sat, 20 Sep 2025 10:58:57 GMT

Hello sellers!

I have been using Square to run my grocery store and I am noticing the time wasted taking customers who buy EBT and Non-EBT items because, we would have to make two separate payments. Not only is it time consuming when the store is busy but, is difficult calculating if they are buying a large number of items. In most major retail stores, when buying EBT and Non-EBT items, the register will automatically separate the items when paying with the EBT Card and leaves the merchant and the customer with the remaining amount they need to pay for the Non-EBT items. I am requesting if we can get an option on items that can identify it as EBT or Non-EBT, so that the register can know what to separate at checkout. I know that Square doesn't take EBT cards but it would be helpfully for the people who use a third-party machine that takes EBT.

Thank you.

HI, hopefully this Square Support page will help. Square integrates with Totilpay to allow EBT-authorized sellers to use with their existing Square account and hardware.
