How to Choose the Right EBT Machine for Your Store
The right EBT machine depends on how you check out customers. Here is how VMS matches EBT machines to the business:
- Busy grocery stores and supermarkets: Clover Duo or the Velocity Pro Pack handle high-volume lanes and give customers their own screen for PIN entry.
- Corner stores, bodegas and gas station marts: Clover Mini, Clover Compact or the Dejavoo QD4 fit tight counters and process EBT, credit and debit on one EBT machine.
- Farmers markets, food trucks and delivery: Clover Flex or the Dejavoo QD2 are portable and stay connected away from the counter.
- Restaurants approved for the Restaurant Meals Program: any of our EBT machines can be set up for Restaurant Meals Program transactions.
Replacing an FD150 Terminal?
The FD150 is an older First Data terminal, and many of them do not support today’s EBT chip cards. The Clover Mini, Clover Compact, Dejavoo QD2 and Dejavoo QD4 are the replacement EBT machines for the FD150. They accept EBT chip cards, credit, debit and tap-to-pay on one device. VMS can swap out your FD150 and move your EBT setup over for you.
Get FNA (formerly FNS) Authorization First
Before any EBT machine can process SNAP, your store needs an FNS number from the USDA Food and Nutrition Administration (FNA, formerly the Food and Nutrition Service). Make sure your store meets the EBT stocking requirements, then start your EBT retailer application. VMS walks you through the application, so your EBT machine is ready to go the day you are approved.

Frequently Asked Questions
EBT (Electronic Benefit Transfer) equipment allows businesses to accept payments made with EBT cards, typically for government assistance programs like SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). Having the right EBT equipment ensures your business can securely process these transactions and serve a broader customer base.
Yes. You’ll need an EBT-enabled POS system or terminal that supports EBT card transactions. Many modern POS solutions, like Clover, provide EBT equipment that’s fully certified and ready to use, making compliance and payment acceptance much easier.
Not at all. VMS ships your EBT machine pre-programmed and ready to use. We help with your EBT retailer application, set up your equipment and train you and your staff, so you can start accepting EBT as soon as your FNS number is active.
It depends on your equipment. Some POS systems already support EBT, while others need a software update or new hardware. Send us your current terminal or POS model and a VMS EBT specialist will tell you whether it can accept EBT before you spend anything on upgrades.
USDA does not charge retailers to participate in SNAP. Your processor may charge a small per-transaction fee for EBT, which is typically lower than credit card processing fees. Ask a VMS EBT specialist for a quote on your EBT machine and processing.
Yes. Many POS systems are designed to handle multiple payment types on the same device. This not only makes checkout faster but also simplifies reporting and compliance since all payment data is tracked in a single system.
Accepting EBT can significantly increase your customer base by giving you the ability to serve low-income individuals and families who rely on food assistance programs. By offering this option, your store becomes more inclusive, which can lead to stronger community ties and increased loyalty. It can also drive higher sales volume by opening your business to a market segment that might otherwise shop elsewhere. Beyond revenue, using certified EBT equipment keeps your transactions in line with USDA requirements, which helps protect your SNAP authorization. In short, offering EBT acceptance not only supports your customers but also strengthens your business’s reputation and stability.
