Guaranteed Approved EBT Website & POS Solutions - Pay Now Direct
At Pay Now Direct, we help retailers accept every major form of payment, including EBT, from anywhere (online, in-person, mobile device). We even take the risk out of the investment, by guaranteeing that your website will be approved by the USDA/FNS or you don’t have to pay for the website.
Together with our Point of Sale (POS) system, we make it easier for businesses to grow while serving their communities. Our mission is simple: remove complexity, ensure compliance, and deliver payment systems you can rely on.
Whether you operate a grocery store, convenience store, or food retailer, Pay Now Direct provides expert guidance, secure technology, and ongoing support so you can focus on running your business with confidence.
Get EBT Approved with Confidence
Getting set up as an EBT merchant doesn’t have to be complicated. Pay Now Direct specializes in helping eligible retailers successfully accept SNAP EBT payments through a guided, compliant, and reliable approval process. Our team understands USDA/FNS requirements and works closely with you to ensure your application is accurate, complete, and positioned for approval.
We help your business become authorized to sell food stamp eligible foods, allowing you to serve customers who rely on SNAP benefits every day. Typically, merchants grow revenues by 4-20% after they get approved. From documentation to system setup, we handle the details that often cause delays so you can move forward faster.
Our Guaranteed Approved EBT approach is built on experience, precision, and compliance. We don’t just submit applications, we guide you through every step and stay with you until approval is complete.
Our Risk-Free Approval Guarantee
At Pay Now Direct, our guarantee is backed by real commitment. The website development investment is $3,000; however, retailers do not pay this amount unless USDA/FNS approval is successfully obtained.
If approval is not granted, the website is provided at no cost.
We structure our model this way because we are confident in our ability to get your business approved and fully integrated with a POS system that accepts SNAP EBT alongside debit, credit, and digital payments. Simply put – we take on the risk so you don’t have to.
