Submitting Payment

EBT Tender payment will only charge for EBT items.

Example:
  1. A Check has two items: one item is EBT and is $50, while the other is non-EBT and is $10.
  2. When EBT Tender is pressed, it will only charge $50, with $10 as the Remaining Balance.
  3. Complete the $10 payment for the rest of the Check by selecting a different Tender.
