What is TotilPay?
TotilPay is a compliant, point-of-sale (POS) software program that accepts all payment types, including SNAP and WIC, on the same device. It automatically matches EBT-eligible items, ensuring compliant, accurate transactions. TotilPay allows merchants and mobile vendors to quickly and efficiently process government benefit payments as easily as other tender types without the need for multiple point-of-sale (POS) terminals.
Is TotilPay a stand-beside solution?
Yes. TotilPay is the only stand-beside solution built especially for EBT. Merchants can add it to any existing system and accept EBT at the lowest monthly price with no hidden fees, long-term contracts or expensive hardware requirements. We also offer an integrated solution called TotilPay Register that replaces every reader on your countertop with one, simple and affordable integrated system.

TotilPay is approved for use by the USDA, FNS and EBT card processors. In late 2019, NDG was certified by FIS and CDP to process payments from the new California WIC card, ensuring that merchants in California who wish to remain authorized WIC vendors maintain the ability to accept the WIC card at point of sale. We regularly offer app updates to continuously accommodate ongoing changes in state and federal EBT requirements to ensure compliant, accurate transactions by merchants. We are also certified in Wisconsin and all online eWIC states.

Square Integration
What does the integration with Square mean and how does it benefit me?
TotilPay now offers integration with Square sellers to give EBT-authorized merchants the option to leverage their existing Square merchant account and card reader to seamlessly accept credit as well as debit, SNAP, WIC and loyalty cards. Merchants already using Mobile Market+ to accept SNAP and WIC can update to the new TotilPay app, set up a new Square account or use their existing one to process credit cards. That way, you can use one app to connect Square and TotilPay and access the additional services that Square offers to improve cost, efficiency and customer experience.
What is the process for TotilPay or Square users to take advantage of the Square-TotilPay integration?
Getting started with TotilPay Go and Square is easily accomplished in four simple steps.

What are the benefits of offering EBT?
Over 45 million low-income Americans receive and use monthly benefits on things like foods, beverages, and other groceries, spending about $70 billion annually. The ability to accept EBT card payments can make or break a business of any size, but it can have an especially powerful impact on smaller merchants and farmers markets. Broadening a business’ customer base means greater profits. It’s also a way to support the greater community and enable all people to purchase fresh, nutritious food items in a convenient way.
Using electronic benefit transfer (EBT), or government benefit cards, to purchase EBT-eligible items may appear to be a simple exchange, but it relies on complex government contracting requirements and matching EBT-eligible items at checkout. While most national retail chains integrate EBT payments into their POS systems, smaller grocers, convenience stores and farmers’ markets have had to resort to a disparate array of complex and expensive solutions.

Rebranding Mobile Market+
Why did you rebrand Mobile Market+ to TotilPay?
With the investment from Square in early 2019, we began adding new features to our solution to deliver more merchant and cardholder-friendly features, including:
- Becoming an EBT third-party processor for SNAP and WIC transactions to increase merchants’ flexibility and reduce their costs.
- Getting certified to process the new electronic WIC card in California, which allows all California WIC vendors to maintain their status as WIC-authorized vendors.
- Integrating with Square, giving merchants using TotilPay more ways to accept EBT and credit cards and to benefit from all the services Square offers.
As an existing Mobile Market+ user, what changed for me with the TotilPay rebrand?
Apart from the new branding and the upgraded mobile apps, which now offer the opportunity to link to Square, nothing has changed in the product offering.
