Split tender

One sale, two ways of paying: cash and a card, or two cards. The first part is taken, then the rest.

  1. Ring the items. Under Cash and Card, tap Split tender ›.
  2. Type the first part under First part, then tap Cash or Card for it.

- Cash: type what you were handed, so the Merchant Display can tell you the change on that part. Tap Paid in cash. - Card: the reader takes that much. The Merchant Display says it was taken and that the rest is still owed.

  1. The Merchant Display now reads Balance due with what is left, and Taken with the first part. Tap Cash or Card for the rest, as for any sale.

The sale is on the books once the rest lands, with both ways of paying on the receipt.

If the second card is declined

The first part stays taken. Try another card, take the rest in cash, or tap Cancel split: a card taken on the reader is refunded through it, and cash is handed back. The order is unpaid again.

If the Merchant Display was closed mid-split

A card taken for a split that was never finished is listed at the top of Sales under Day, in words, with one button: Refund. Finish the sale at the Merchant Display first if the customer is still there.

A sale is paid at most two ways. A tip chosen on the Customer Display goes with the last tender.
