Split Payment

Split payment lets a customer pay using more than one method in a single transaction, for example part cash and part card, or part store credit and part cash.

Step-by-Step

  1. Add items to the cart and tap Charge.
  2. Optionally apply a discount.
  3. The default is one Cash line. Enter the cash amount.
  4. Tap "Split Payment" (dashed button at the bottom of the payment section) to add another line.
  5. Choose the method for the new row (Cash, Card, or Store Credit) and enter its amount.
  6. Repeat to add more lines if needed.

Methods you can choose

Each payment line can be Cash, Card, or Store Credit. Store Credit only appears when a customer is attached and has a balance, and it is capped at that balance. Like a card, store credit cannot give change: only an overpayment in cash is returned as change.

The live tally shows:

  • Total paid: sum of all amounts (turns green when it covers the total)
  • Still owed: remaining outstanding (amber, disappears when covered)
  • Change due: shown in green when the customer over-tenders in cash

Confirm Payment becomes active once Still owed = 0.

Example: $120 total, $100 cash + $20 card

LineMethodAmount
1Cash$100.00
2Card$20.00

Total paid: $120.00 · Still owed: $0.00 → Confirm Payment active.

On the Receipt

Each payment line is printed:

Cash              $100.00
Card               $20.00

Change due is only shown when cash overage exists.

In Sales History

Split sales show a SPLIT badge in the Payment column. The sale detail dialog shows one row per payment method.


FAQ

Q: Can I add more than two payment lines?

A: Yes. Tap Split Payment as many times as needed.

Q: What if I add a line but leave the amount blank?

A: Validation will flag it. Every line must have an amount greater than zero.

Q: Can I remove a payment line?

A: Yes. When more than one line is present, an ✕ button appears on each row. The last line cannot be removed.

Q: Can a card or store credit payment give cash change?

A: No. If a card or store credit line would exceed the total, the payment is blocked. Only an overpayment in cash produces change.

Q: Can a Cashier do a split payment?

A: Yes. Split payment has no role restriction.

Q: What if the customer over-tenders in cash on a split payment?

A: Change due is calculated across all lines. If cash is $130 and card is $20 on a $140 sale, change due is $10.

Q: Do old sales in Sales History show differently after split payment was introduced?

A: No. Older single-payment sales continue to display exactly as before. Only sales recorded using split payment show the SPLIT badge and multi-line payment breakdown.
