Only for Farmer's Markets, not grocery stores

 

Why would it work at a farmer's market but not a grocery store?

I'm opening a grocery store.  i love square but might have to go with clover because they accept ebt.

Any changes coming soon?

Hey @Dennis85 - Unfortunately, no updates to share regarding if or when this feature might be implemented at this time.

Is there an update on accepting EBT cards? We need a more concrete answer than we dont have a timeline on this. 

 

Thanks

Hi @Juan3

 

Thanks for posting 👍🏼

 

There's nothing new to report on this as of right now. It's not something that's on our road map. 

 

If anything does change, we'll post a product update to let everyone know.

Would really like to see Square accept EBT for authorized food sales retailers.

How about now?  Is it in the works currently?  We are a Produce Stand and would love to be able to offer our customers EBT.
