EBT: Check if EBT and its features are enabled on the EDC tab.
- Tsys requires the FCS ID, Merchant ABA, and Merchant Settlement (FIID) to process EBT. If this information is not on the File EBT transactions will not work.
- Make sure customer has verified their FCS ID has been activated by the State.
- First Data requires the Merchant FNS Number to process EBT.
- Debit will need to be enabled on the terminal because EBT processes the same as debit.
- Terminal must be encrypted for debit to process EBT
- Applications that are a "Gateway" (ex. Omaha, TransIT, Vantiv, Elavon, Heartland) have the EBT settings on the Host side. There is nothing to configure for EBT in the application.
EBT is only available on Retail Applications.
