Payments

Taking payment & split bills

When guests are ready, the payment screen settles the check. You can take the full amount or split it however the table wants.

The POS payment screen with Full, Split equally and Split by item modes, cash/card tender and a keypad.
The payment screen — choose Full or a split, pick tender, then charge.

Ways to split

  • Full — pay the whole bill in one go.
  • Equally — divide across a number of guests.
  • By item — each guest pays for what they ordered.
  • Custom amount — take a partial payment toward the balance.

Paying on account (Balance)

  • Assign a customer to the check, and a Balance tender appears next to cash and card.
  • It spends their store credit first, then any house-tab credit limit you've allowed them — the POS shows exactly what's available and blocks anything beyond it.
  • Voids and refunds credit the money straight back to their account, with every movement kept in a ledger you can audit.

Settle a check

  1. 1Open the check and choose “Pay”.
  2. 2Pick a split method if needed, and a tip preset or custom tip.
  3. 3Choose the tender (cash, card or another configured method).
  4. 4Confirm — the remaining balance updates until the check is settled.

Every control on the payment screen

  • Tenders — cash (with tendered-amount keypad and automatic change due), card, and any method you’ve added under Setup › Payment methods; plus Balance when a customer with an account is on the check.
  • Tips — tap a preset or type a custom amount; tips are tracked per payment and appear in shift and daily reports.
  • Cash rounding — if enabled for your currency, totals round to the step you chose and the rounding shows as its own line (see the Cash rounding guide).
  • Service charge — applied automatically from your branch settings and always itemised on the bill.
  • Receipt — print or reprint from the check or from the payment record afterwards; a Receipt tab shows exactly what will print.
  • Partial payments — take any custom amount; the check stays open with a live remaining balance until it reaches zero.
  • Refunds — from the payment record, full or partial, with the check and reports updated (and Balance payments credited back to the account).
The payment screen works on a phone too, with a Pay / Bill toggle so you can review the itemised bill and take payment from the same device.
