EBT Elements

An EBT Element is a secure Forage-hosted, client-side entity that accepts and submits customer input for an EBT checkout operation.

There is a different EBT Element for each checkout operation:

• ForageEbtCardNumberElement: Store tokenized EBT card numbers for future use
• ForageEbtBalanceElement: Check the balance of an EBT account
• ForageEbtPaymentElement: Capture an EBT payment
