Frequently Asked Questions
Please reach us at lovinda.plentie@mail.com if you cannot find an answer to your question.
Common Payment Methods:
- Cash: Still king at many markets; it's direct, avoids fees, and customers can budget easily. Vendors need to bring plenty of change.
- Credit/Debit Cards: Mobile POS systems (Square, Zettle) make it easy to accept taps, swipes, and chip payments.
- Digital Wallets/Apps: Venmo, Cash App, and Apple Pay are increasingly common via QR codes or app features.
- Checks: Less common due to verification issues, but some vendors still take them.
Market-Specific Programs:
- SNAP/EBT: Many markets use token systems or operate central terminals where customers can swipe their EBT cards for tokens to spend with vendors.
- FreshConnect Checks/Incentives: Some states offer programs where customers using food assistance get bonus checks or matching funds, say Lancaster Farming lancasterfarming.com
