Configuration -> General Setup -> Payments |
In order to properly record payments at the POS we must first
define a set of payment types that are used by the store. The system initially
creates 4 payment types. Void, Cash, Check and On Account.
Add: Used to add a new payment type. Payment
types are identified using a 2 digit number. Press the "Add" button and
enter a number from 1 to 50 in the payment number field. Enter or
Select options from the following fields;
-
Long Description: Used to print the payment type on checks. i.e.
"American Express"
-
POS Description: Used by servers to choose a payment type from the
POS. i.e. "Amex"

supported;
