Label Products as EBT Qualified

    Electronic Benefits Transfer (EBT) is a payment method that allows SNAP recipients to pay for food. In order for your customers to utilize EBT in your store, you will need to create the EBT Attribute and then mark the products as EBT qualified. 

    A. Create the EBT attribute

    1. Select Items from the left-hand menu.

    2. Press Custom Attributes at the top of the screen.

    3. Press + New Product Attribute.

    4. Under ATTRIBUTE CODE, enter is_ebt.

    5. Under ATTRIBUTE NAME, enter EBT Qualified.

    6. Under CUSTOM ATTRIBUTE TYPE, choose Product attribute / string.

    7. Under FRONTEND INPUT TYPE, choose Select.

    8. Under SELECT VALUES, press + Add New.

      1. Enter false under VALUE and False under LABEL.

      2. Press + Add New.

      3. Enter true under VALUE and True under LABEL.

    9. Under UI COLUMN SIZE IN POS, enter 4.

    10. Press Save Changes. 


    B. Label a Product as EBT Qualified

    1. Select Items from the left-hand menu.

    2. Press the edit icon next to the item you want to mark as EBT Qualified.

    3. Under EBT QUALIFIED, select True if the product qualifies for EBT or False if it does not.

    4. Scroll down and press Save.

     

    Note: By default, all products are not qualified for EBT, so you will only need to mark products that are. If the status of the qualified product changes, you can edit the product and select False.
