What practical strategy is suggested if a shopper is purchasing both eligible food items and ineligible items like cleaning supplies?
Answer
Separate them into two distinct transactions
To mitigate the risk of a full transaction being declined when purchasing a mixed basket of goods, a practical strategy involves separating the order. If the point-of-sale system permits, running the eligible food items first as one transaction can sometimes allow those charges to process successfully before the system flags the entire basket as containing non-covered goods like cleaning supplies. If the system rejects the entire order due to ineligible items being present, splitting the purchase into two separate transactions ensures the authorized food portion is completed.
