Getting Started with EBT Split

EBT Split separates EBT-eligible items from non-EBT items into two transactions, so EBT customers can pay for each portion with the correct card. To get started, you'll need to assign EBT-eligible items to either a revenue class or a printer label named EBT. Once that's set up, press the EBT Split button at checkout to divide transactions accordingly.

Note: If a non-EBT item is scanned for payment on an EBT card, EBT Split will flag it before the transaction completes.

Option 1: Use a Revenue Class

Step 1: Create the Revenue Class

1. Log in to your Clover Web Dashboard.
2. Navigate to Items, then select Revenue Classes.
3. Click Add Revenue Class.
4. Enter a name for the class — use EBT so it's easy to identify.
5. Save the new class.

Step 2: Assign Items to the Revenue Class

1. Open the EBT revenue class you just created.
2. Search or scroll to find the inventory items that are EBT-eligible.
3. Check the box next to each item to link it to the class.
4. Save your changes.

Alternatively, when editing an individual item or performing a Bulk Edit, you can select EBT from the item's revenue class setting.

Option 2: Use a Printer Label

Step 1: Create the Label

1. Log in to your Clover Dashboard.
2. From the left-hand navigation menu, select Items, then click Printer Labels.
3. Click Add Label (or the + icon).
4. Name the label EBT.
5. Click Save.

Step 2: Assign Items to the Label

1. Click the EBT label from your list of printer labels.
2. Select Assign Items (or click Edit next to Items).
3. Search or check the boxes next to the items you want to link to the label.
4. Click Save.

What Happens Next

Once your EBT-eligible items are labeled or classed, press the EBT Split button at checkout to divide the transaction:

• Items marked EBT are charged to the EBT card in one transaction.
• All remaining items are charged separately, as a second transaction.
• If a non-EBT item has been charged to an EBT card outside of the EBT Split flow, EBT Split flags the transaction and voids it automatically.

Note: The split does not happen automatically — you must press EBT Split to initiate it.
