Payment settings

Here is how you set up a payment method:

  1. Edit the payment method you want by clicking the yellow pencil.
  2. Click the Settings tab. The settings are grouped into Checkout Flow and Payment.
Checkout Flow

Mark invoice as paid:

Switch this on if invoices should be marked as paid automatically when this payment method is used. Switch it off if you want to use the payment method for payments on account (see the section below).

Important: If you select cash payment as the type, it is not possible for the invoice to be marked as unpaid. Cash payments always count as paid straight away.
Note: If "Mark invoice as paid" is switched off, this payment method cannot be used later to assign a payment flow to an invoice or to mark it as paid.

Tip selection in the POS:

Switch this on so your staff can record a tip when taking payment.

Enable change calculator:

Switch this on to enable the change calculator, which helps your staff work out the change quickly.

Open cash drawer:

Switch this on so the cash drawer opens automatically when the payment is completed.

Important: The cash drawer can only be opened automatically if it is connected to the selected printer.

What should happen in the cash register surface after creating the invoice?

Select the action you want from the dropdown menu.

Standard number of print copies:

Select how many invoice copies should be printed automatically.

Use purchase prices:

Switch this on to use the purchase price instead of the sales price when settling (e.g. for internal billing).

Payment

IBAN and Name of bank account holder:

Enter the bank details that should apply to this payment method. Both entries are used for the e-invoice and for the payment QR code.

Show payment QR code:

Switch this on to add a QR code for bank transfer to the invoice. The QR code only appears if the IBAN and the name of the bank account holder are filled in.

Tip: To see what the payment QR code looks like on the invoice and what it contains, see the article How can I show a payment QR code on my invoices?

Only take part payment:

Switch this on if the payment method should only be shown for partial payments.

Zero receipt:

Switch this on to set all invoiced items to a price of 0.00.

ATTENTION! This option sets all invoiced items to price 0.00. Please discuss this option with your tax advisor first.

Click SAVE at the bottom of the dialog to apply the changes.

Payment on account

If you want to offer your customers the option to pay on account, you must enter this option as a payment method. To do this, you create a new payment method, but you must deactivate the option "Mark invoice as paid" under settings.

You now have a second tab under your payment methods: "Payment receipt". Here you can enter the payment methods that you can select to mark an invoice as paid on account!

The payment methods “cash payment” and “card payment” are already displayed here by default.

To add a new payment method to "Payment receipt", click on the blue plus. A pop-up will open where you can select whether you want to create a payment method for receipt creation or for payment receipt.

Select "Create new payment method for incoming payments" so that you can later use this payment method exclusively to "Mark as paid" invoices on account, but it will not be displayed in the checkout interface.

Now give the new payment method a name, for example "Receive transfer".

Description and account number (for accountancy export) are optional. In case of "Receive transfer" it is recommended to enter the accounting account of your bank account.
