Customize your checkout screen by enabling different payment methods on iCHEF backend. iCHEF POS supports cash and credit cards (for recording purposes only) as default payment methods. You are free to add or disable your payment methods.
Payment Methods
Cash is the default payment method for iCHEF POS app. When performing fast checkout, the payment would be categorized as cash by default.
The payment method [Credit Card] is only for recording purpose. You still need a credit card terminal to process the payment.
You can create a custom payment method to categorize revenue from different order sources. You might need a custom payment method under these scenario:
- Integrating with a third-party delivery platform
- Launching your own gift voucher
Add a Method
- Go to Payment Settings > Payment Module
- Click [+ Add module]
- Select a module and fill out the required information
- Click [Save] to complete
Disable a Method
When you are not accepting certain payment method anymore, disable the payment method to remove it from your checkout screen and your daily closing report.
- Go to Payment Settings > Payment Module
- Click on the payment method to disable
- Scroll to the bottom and click [Disable]
- Click [Confirm] to complete
You can enable the payment method again anytime you need it.
