Taking payment: cash, card, wallet, voucher and split

Use the payment screen to take cash with change, card, wallet or QR payments and vouchers, or split one bill between several methods.

Who can do this: Anyone who can sell

Open the payment screen

Tap Pay under the cart (or press F4). The payment screen fills the till: the methods and a number pad on one side, the amount due in large figures on the other. Tap Back to order (or press Esc) to go back and change the order.

The methods are Cash, Card, Wallet / QR and Voucher.

Take cash

  1. Cash is selected when the screen opens.
  2. Enter the cash the customer hands over. Tap the note buttons (+100, +500, +1,000, +5,000 for rupees) to add each note, type the amount, or tap Exact for the exact amount.
  3. The screen shows the Change as you enter it.
  4. Tap Complete sale. The cash is taken and the sale is finished in the same tap. The Sale complete screen shows the change to give in large figures.
  5. Hand over the change.

When the customer pays the exact total in cash, you do not need this screen at all: tap Exact cash under the cart.

Take card, wallet or voucher

  1. Tap Card, Wallet / QR or Voucher.
  2. The amount starts at the balance due.
  3. Optionally type the Reference, such as the card terminal's authorisation code or the transaction id.
  4. Tap Complete sale. The payment is recorded and the sale is finished.
  5. If only part of the bill is paid this way, type the smaller amount and tap Take Card … (or the method you chose) instead, then take the rest another way.

Sevo records the payment; it does not charge the card itself. Take the card payment on your bank's card terminal first, then record it here.

Split a bill

  1. Choose the first method, for example Card, type its part, for example LKR 2,000, and tap Take Card ….
  2. The due amount goes down. Choose the next method, for example Cash.
  3. Each payment is listed under Payments taken. Tap the ✕ next to one to remove it if you made a mistake.
  4. Tap Complete sale. It takes the rest with the method and amount on the screen and finishes the sale. If the amount on the screen does not cover the rest, the screen says so: take it, then choose how the rest is paid.

After Complete sale

The sale is saved on the device first and then sent to the server, so completing a sale never waits for the internet. The Sale complete screen opens with the receipt. See Receipts: print, PDF and e-receipt.
