success stories
I was a little skeptical at first how this company got my number but then Rania reassured me that this company is A+ on BBB website and they are also certified to process EBT and she gained my attention. We then began to go over rates and Rania assured me she would handle all my paperwork for EBT. Love this company and could not be happier! Thank you Rania!

VMS is a USDA approved EBT processor. We can assist you in the process of getting approved to accept EBT at your grocery or convenience store. To qualify to accept EBT you must meet one of the following criteria:
STAPLE FOOD INVENTORY Your business sells staple foods in the following four categories: (1) dairy, (2) breads, grains, and cereals, (3) fruits and vegetables, and (4) meat, fish, and poultry. A store must have 3 stocking units of 3 different varieties for each staple food category on a continuous basis. For two staple food categories there must be at least 1 perishable variety.
STAPLE FOOD SALES One or more staple foods account for over 50% of your gross retail sales. Specialty stores like butcher shops are often in this category.
You can use a sticky label order printer to attach order details directly to the items you sell. You’ll need the EPSON TM-L90 PLUS Direct Thermal Sticky Label Printer to work with your Clover system.
You can offer curbside pickup. When customers place an online order, you can give them the option to pick it up outside of your store. You can enable or disable curbside pickup capabilities as needed. Curbside pickup orders will show with the order type “Curbside Pickup.” This order type shows on the order receipt and lets staff know how to package the order. You can view how many orders were placed as curbside pickups in the order types report.
With Clover it is easy to take online orders. When you sign up with VMS we assist you with setting up your online menu and getting you up and accepting orders quickly!
