Retail payments

This page describes taking payment in POS: payment methods, splitting amounts, and change calculation.

Payment methods​

A payment method is a configured way to receive/pay out money (for example, cash, bank card). The list of payment methods and their availability may depend on the cash register.

Payment method configuration: see Settings.

How to take payment​

  1. On the receipt, proceed to payment.
  2. Check the amount due.
  3. Enter amounts for one or multiple payment methods.
  4. Confirm the payment.

Change​

If more than the amount due was entered (usually for cash payments), the system will calculate change.

Input validation​

Depending on settings, validations may apply:

  • you cannot confirm payment if the entered amount is insufficient;
  • you cannot “overpay” by cashless methods (for example, bank card) above the amount due;
  • for mixed payment, the system considers the total across all methods.

Return payment​

When processing a return, a pay-out to the customer is made. Available payment methods and rules for splitting amounts are defined by settings.
