Tender Configuration
To manage your tender types, navigate to Manager Home > Config > Tax/Tender/Cash > Tender.
The top portion displays each tender type that is normally accepted in an establishment. To allow a specific tender type to be accepted in your store; click the checkbox under each tender type on the "Valid" line.
The 2 blank user defined tender types allow you to create tender types in addition to the standard tenders already listed. These could be used for house comp cards, Groupon, etc.
The 2nd portion of the screen allows you to set guidelines for these tender types.
- Minimum
Amount: Enables you to set a minimum dollar amount that must be
tendered in order to use that tender type.Example: If you don't want to run Visa
transactions for less than $10.00, enter 10 in the minimum amount field
for Visa.
If you leave the field blank, or enter 0.00, the minimum amount restriction will not apply. - Maximum
Amount: Enables you to set a maximum dollar amount that can be
tendered with that tender type. Example: If you don't want to take checks for
greater than $20.00, enter 20 in the maximum amount field for Checks.
If you leave the field blank, the maximum amount restriction will not apply. - % Fee: The % Fee
field enables you to charge a surcharge for use of that tender type. The fee will
be calculated as a % of the total order. This will display on the ticket as a
surcharge and will add to the total due.
Example: If you want to charge a 10% fee to customers using checks in order to cover your NSF costs, enter 10 in the % fee for checks.
If you leave the field blank, no fee will apply. If both the % Fee and $ Fee have values, the fees will be added together. - $ Fee: The $ Fee
field enables you to charge a surcharge for use of that tender type. The fee will
be calculated as a straight dollar amount. This will display on the ticket as a
surcharge and will add to the total due.
Example: If you want to charge a $2.00 fee to customers using checks in order to cover your NSF costs, enter 2 in the $ fee for checks.
If you leave the field blank, no fee will apply. If both the % Fee and $ Fee have values, the fees will be added together. - Tax Fee: The Tax Fee field enables you to control whether or not the surcharges specified in the % Fee and/or $ Fee fields will be taxed.
