Payment Service
Use the Payment Service settings to define the payment types available in the workstation. All the workstations in a store can have different payment type configurations. It is possible to create different payment method configurations for payment terminals, cash payment, invoices and internal or external payment methods, for example. This is useful in situations where you want to collect statistics on the usage of lunch benefit cards, for instance.
If Accounting has been activated in your Solteq Commerce Cloud, whenever you add or delete a payment method, you must also update any accounting rules which use that payment method.
It is also possible to add custom fields to payment methods.
Card and Cash are the default payment methods for all workstations. The following payment methods can be also defined:
Payment Terminal
Supported payment terminal software vendors: Verifone, Nets, and Poplatek.
Cash
Configurations depending on the currency used
Invoice
Internal
Anything else, including standalone payment terminals, lunch benefit vouchers, printed gift cards, miscellaneous vouchers, and such.
External
Gift Card
Webpayment (Mobilepay)
Every payment type has a set of settings which can be set to ON or OFF.
Setting | Description | Recommended Usage (Setting in ON position) |
---|---|---|
Payment in use | Defines whether the payment type can be used in this workstation. | |
Is main | Defines whether a separate tile for this payment type is automatically displayed in the footer of POS Layouts (number 1 in the image) If this setting is OFF, the payment method can be accessed by pressing Other payments and selecting the payment type (number 2 in the image). If you are using Custom Footer in a POS Layout, this option is obsolete. | |
Do not show prices | Defines whether prices are included in the receipt. | Use for Invoice payments, if you do not want prices to be printed on receipt; the prices will be included only in the invoice. |
Print signature | Defines whether a signature is needed for the receipt. | Use for Invoice or Internal payments, if a signature from customer/contact person is needed. |
Print merchant copy | Defines whether a copy for merchant is printed. | Used for Invoice or Internal payments, if a copy for merchant is needed. Mainly used if Accounting requires paper copies of invoice receipts. |
Credit customer needed | Defines whether a customer with Credit allowed: Yes in the customer info settings must be in the Basket so that the payment type can be used. | Use for Invoice payments. |
