How to use your SoliMarket Shopper app/card
Checkout
- Look for farmers who display the Certified Farmer Poster. See image below.
- At the market be sure you are shopping with a farmer who is authorized to use the SoliMarket Register mobile application.
- When you are ready to make a purchase, click the Checkout button; a QR code will be generated for the farmer to scan with their own device. If you are using a card the farmer will scan the QR code on your card to complete the transaction.
- The farmer will enter the price for the items on their device, and you will then see the transaction summary in your SoliMarket Shopper app. App users will click the green ACCEPT button to approve the transaction or CANCEL to decline. If you have an eFMNP card you will be asked to enter your PIN to approve the transaction.
Farmers’ Market Tips
- Choose farmers displaying the Certified Farmers sign. For an updated list visit Authorized Redemption Locations (ct.gov)
- Use your benefits to buy locally grown fresh fruits, vegetables, eggs and herbs.
- You must use your benefits between July 1 and November 30. Some markets close for the season before November 30 so be sure to check the Farmers Market list or ask at the market.
- If you have questions about selecting, storing, and preparing fresh produce ask farmers at the market.
