Video tutorial (2:08): [Web POS: take payments](https://media.bakasir.com/bakasir-media/docs-video/web-pos-payments/web-pos-payments.mp4), subtitles: https://media.bakasir.com/bakasir-media/docs-video/web-pos-payments/web-pos-payments.en.vtt



This tutorial shows how to take a payment with any method the Web POS offers, and how to split one bill into several payments. It takes about 3 minutes.

## Before you start

- A register is open and the cart has at least one item. See [Open the register and make your first sale](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/web-pos/first-sale.md).
- For **Split Pay**, the Owner must turn on **Enable split bill** in **Settings → POS**. The toggle does not appear without it.

## Steps




### Open the payment window

With items in the cart, click **Pay Now**. In some styles the button reads **Pay** and shows the total. The window opens with the amount to pay at the top.




### Choose a payment method

Under **Payment Methods**, click one of **Cash**, **Card**, **Bank Transfer**, **QR**, **E-Wallet** or **Cheque**. The method chosen in **Settings → POS → Default Payment** is selected for you.




### Enter the amount received

The **Cash Given** field starts with the exact total. For cash, type the amount the customer hands over or press a **Quick Cash** button. **Change** is calculated at once. For the other methods, leave the amount as it is.




### Add proof of a bank transfer

For **Bank Transfer**, you can attach a photo, screenshot or PDF of the transfer slip in **Upload payment proof**. It is saved with the sale and you can open it later from **Sales → Transactions**.




### Split the payment if needed

Turn on **Split Pay**. Pick a method, type the **Tender amount**, then click the **Add ... tender** button, which names the method you picked. Repeat until **Still due** reaches zero. The remove icon next to a line deletes it.




### Complete the payment

Click **Complete Payment**. The button stays disabled until the payment covers the total. The sale is saved and the receipt screen appears.




## What each method does

| Method | What happens |
| --- | --- |
| **Cash** | Shows **Quick Cash** buttons and **Change**. If the Owner set a cash drawer bridge, the drawer opens after the sale. |
| **Card** | Records the sale as paid by card. The window shows **EDC Status: Disconnected** because the Web POS is not connected to a card machine. Take the card payment on your own machine first. |
| **Bank Transfer** | Records a transfer and lets you attach the proof. |
| **QR** and **E-Wallet** | Records the method on the sale. Check on your QR or wallet screen that the money arrived before you click **Complete Payment**. |
| **Cheque** | Records a cheque payment. |

<Callout type="warn" title="Bakasir records the method, it does not charge it">
    The Web POS saves which method the customer used. It does not send a charge to a card machine or e-wallet. Always confirm the payment on your own device before you complete it.

## Good to know

- **Change in a split payment.** If the tenders add up to more than the total, the extra comes back as change from the cash drawer, even when one of the tenders is not cash.
- **A payment cannot be less than the total.** Complete Payment stays disabled until it is covered.
- **A manual discount or tax change by Staff** makes the window ask for a **Manager approval PIN** when you click **Complete Payment**. See [Discounts and promotions](https://docs.bakasir.com/en/docs/web-pos/discounts-and-promotions.md).
- **Points.** If the customer is a member and Loyalty is on, a **Redeem Points** box appears in this window.
- **If the payment fails,** the cart is kept. Check the connection and try again. If the sale was saved but the receipt print or table status failed, do not charge again: reprint the receipt from the receipt screen.
- **Offline.** A sale paid while offline is saved on the device and uploaded later. It gets a local receipt number first.
