Selling & payments
Cash, split payments & store credit
Record how each bill is paid, including more than one payment method.
WHERE TO FIND IT
POS → Pay / Checkout
Step by step
For cash, select Cash and enter the amount received. Check the displayed change.
For a split bill, add the first amount and method, then pay the remaining balance.
For store credit, select the saved customer and apply only their available credit.
Complete after checking every payment. A walk-in bill must be fully paid.
Add or pause a payment method
- Open Settings → Payment methods and add a manual method such as Bank transfer or LankaQR. Give it a clear name and choose whether a transaction reference is required. Save and enable it for checkout.
- Test that the cashier sees the new method and records the confirmed amount and reference correctly. A manual tender records payment; it does not contact a bank to collect or verify money.
- Disable a method temporarily when it should no longer be offered. Keep historical transactions intact; do not rename an old method to mean a different kind of payment.
Split a bill or use customer credit
- Add a separate row for each confirmed tender. Use the remaining-balance shortcut for the next row and review the sum before completing. Only cash received in excess can create cash change.
- For full or partial credit, attach a saved customer with an approved credit limit. The unpaid amount becomes receivable; a walk-in must pay the full bill. Collect later through Customer payments.
- To spend existing store credit, select that customer and check the online balance. Apply no more than the available balance, then cover any remainder with another method. Store credit differs from permission to buy on credit.
Cash received and change
- Enter the amount actually handed over or use a quick banknote button. For a LKR 435 bill paid with LKR 500, check the displayed LKR 65 change before confirming.
- For a split payment, add each tender only for its share and settle the remaining amount. A recorded card or LankaQR entry is not proof of payment: check terminal approval or your merchant record first.
Save some or all cash change as customer credit
- Attach a saved customer and stay online. In Settings → Loyalty points, Save change as customer credit must be enabled. This setting is separate from earning or redeeming loyalty points.
- Enter the cash amount received and cover the full bill. When change is available, turn on Save change as customer credit. Use a quick amount button, choose all change, or enter a custom amount within the available change.
- For a LKR 180 bill paid with LKR 205, save LKR 5 as credit and return LKR 20 in cash. Check both amounts before completing; the saved amount is available towards the customer’s next purchase.
- The receipt shows the cash returned, saved credit and the customer credit balance captured when the sale completed. The credit balance appears above loyalty points. Reprints keep that recorded balance even after the customer spends credit later.
- Saving change is unavailable for walk-in customers, offline checkout or a bill with an unpaid remainder. Turning the setting off stops new change deposits; it does not remove previously saved credit or its history.
