Enhanced EBT Capabilities: Contactless Payments
Until now, EBT transactions on DVPayLite were limited to swipe and manual entry. With this release, merchants can now accept EBT cards using EMV chip (contact & contactless) methods—just like any other modern payment type.
No need to change terminals or hardware—if chip and tap are supported on your current device, you’re ready to go.
