Split payments

Split Payment allows you to accept multiple forms of payment on a single transaction. Split payments and partial authorizations follow the same process in Retail theme. Terminal theme does not allow for split payments.

For a Split Payment in Retail theme:

  • Ring up a sale.
  • Tap Proceed To Checkout and then tap Split.
  • Enter in the first payment amount, along with the method of payment.
  • After the first payment, the app will calculate the amount still owed to you. Continue by entering in the second payment amount and method.
  • Continue as needed until amount due is $0. Tap Proceed to complete the transaction.

Partial Authorization with prepaid/gift cards in Retail theme:

  • Run the gift card. This will be logged as Payment 1.
  • You will see the amount the gift card is authorized for. The remaining balance will show as Balance Due.
  • Select how the remaining balance will be paid, process the transaction, and this will be logged as Payment 2.
  • Once the full amount has been paid, complete the transaction as you normally would.

Terminal theme:

  • Terminal theme does not allow for split payments.
  • When a prepaid/gift card is used with insufficient funds to cover the transaction total, you will see the following message.
    • A partial authorization of $xx.xx has been approved. In order to receive payment for the full transaction amount, please decline and transaction and try again with another payment method.
  • Decline the transaction and select a different payment method in order to avoid only receiving partial payments.
