Built for food.

Engineered by Grocerist.

Designed around program requirements

Merchant eligibility

The merchant must meet the requirements of the applicable SNAP/EBT or incentive program.

Program approval

The proposed online workflow is subject to the required program reviews and approvals.

Partner coordination

Payment, technology and implementation partners must support the merchant’s approved configuration.

The operational challenge

Online food-access programs involve more than adding a payment method.

Merchant eligibility, program rules, payment technology and incentive calculations must work together through an approved implementation.

Eligibility + approval

Participation depends on the merchant’s qualifications and the requirements of the applicable program.

Connected technology

Shopify, payment processing and supported partner systems must exchange the required transaction information.

Program-specific rules

Produce-incentive earning and redemption must follow the rules of the approved program.

AVAILABILITY + QUALIFICATION

How it works

Every implementation begins with eligibility and program review.

Online SNAP/EBT and produce-incentive availability depends on the merchant, location, applicable program, approval status, supported technology partners and implementation requirements.

A consultation is required to determine whether Grocerist can support a specific merchant or program.
