Add POS Payment Feature
Currently when accepting EBT (Food Stamps), customers are only legally allowed to purchase food items using this method of payment.
When ringing up their purchases and selecting EBT/Food, the POS system is currently allowing ALL items to be purchased on EBT instead of just the allowed, non-taxable food.
Other POS systems at most stores have the ability to differentiate among approved food items and non-approved other items within a single transaction.
Customer support says we need to ring up food as a separate transaction or manually total the food items up and do a manual split payment for the food items.
That is not very user friendly for the cashier and not customer-centric on part of convenience and speed for the customer either.

When selecting EBT as the payment method, it then asks the customer (on the customer-facing screen) to select Cash sale or Food Stamp sale. This can be very problematic because the customer might select Food Stamp sale to purchase something that is not Food Stamp eligible, putting my business in serious trouble with the state. I suggest that the employee should be asked whether it will be a food stamp or EBT cash sale, therefore preventing this mistake from happening by the customer.
