EBT SNAP and EBT Cash Transactions

Use the information in this section to process an EBT sale and other transactions for EBT SNAP and EBT cash. Instructions for processing the various transaction types are shown in step 2 of the code example.

Follow these steps to process an EBT transaction.

Create a

TransactionParameters

object and provide the required information for the payment.

Retrieve the

transactionIntent

variable from the

mposUi

object and use the

startActivity

method to initiate the transaction flow.

val transactionParameters = TransactionParameters.Builder()
		            // Use for Sale
		            .charge(BigDecimal("1.00"), Currency.USD)
		            // Use for Stand-Alone Credit
		            // .refund(BigDecimal("1.00"), Currency.USD)
		            // Use for Cashback
		            // .withCashback(BigDecimal("10.00"))     
		            .customIdentifier("yourReferenceForTheTransaction")
		            .workflow(new WorkflowConfiguration.Builder()
		                  .ebt()
		                  // Set to CASH for EBT cash
		                  .category(FOOD)
		                  // Use for Balance Inquiry and set amount to 0
		                  // .balanceInquiry(true)
		                  // Use for Voucher transaction
		                  // .voucher(true)
		                  .build())
		            .build()

val transactionIntent = mposUi.createTransactionIntent(transactionParameters)
startActivityForResult(transactionIntent, MposUi.REQUEST_CODE_PAYMENT)

After the transaction is completed and the Summary screen is dismissed, the

onActivityResult

method is triggered. This action returns information about the last transaction.

override fun onActivityResult(requestCode: Int, resultCode: Int, data: Intent?) 
{
    super.onActivityResult(requestCode, resultCode, data)
		 
    if (requestCode == MposUi.REQUEST_CODE_PAYMENT) {
        when (resultCode) {
	     // Result code from a successful transaction
	     MposUi.RESULT_CODE_APPROVED -> {
		 val transactionIdentifier = data?.getStringExtra(MposUi.RESULT_EXTRA_TRANSACTION_IDENTIFIER)
		 Toast.makeText(findViewById(android.R.id.content),"Transaction approved!\nIdentifier: $transactionIdentifier", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
	     }
	     // Result code from a declined, aborted or failed transaction
	     MposUi.RESULT_CODE_FAILED -> {
	        Toast.makeText(findViewById(android.R.id.content), "Transaction was declined, aborted, or failed", Toast.LENGTH_LONG).show()
	     }
	 }
   }
}

Get the full transaction object by retrieving the

latestTransaction

from the mposUi object.

val transactionObject = mposUi.latestTransaction
