Configure Multiple Tenders for Point of Sale
Accept payments using multiple credit cards and other tenders. To get started, configure supported tenders like cash, credit card, and gift card. You can also customize the display order of tenders in your app. By letting customers use multiple payment methods, they can pay with one or more of them at once. They can also choose the exact amount to be charged to a gift card.

Multi Tender Payment in the POS App
The Retal Cloud multitender payment option in the POS app allows you to complete a transaction using multiple payment methods. Tap the Multi button and you'll be presented with a list of tenders to select from. Tap the ADD button next to the tender type and enter the amount being paid.
Cash
If Cash is selected, you'll be prompted to enter the cash amount. After applying the cash amount, the remaining balance reflects the updated amount as shown below. For app builds version 9.10.1 or higher, if a cash tender is reset, it’s recorded in the Electronic Journal as "Cash Transaction Cancelled." The record includes details such as the store ID, register ID, date and time, transaction number, the associate handling the transaction, and a note specifying the cash amount involved.
Gift Card
For app builds 9.1.2 and greater, the remaining balance shows at the top of the window for all tender types.
Credit Card
If Credit Card is selected, the payment terminal prompts you to make a payment using a card. For app builds 12.0.1 and later, card on file is an option. Search for a registered customer and select the saved card on file method to access their saved cards.
Check
Personal and business checks are supported; however, depending on the type and CMS configuration, validation may be required, meaning all fields in the window are required. See Tender Business and Personal Checks in the POS App .
Miscellaneous
The type of cards can be configured in CMS. See Configure Miscellaneous Tender on the POS App.
Store Credit
A Customer Profile must be logged in to use store credit. This option isn't available for Guest Customers.
If you're using store credit from an external system, we recommend considering a migration to Gift Cards or Reward Cards. For instance, you can integrate Clutch to convert store credits into virtual gift cards. If virtual gift cards are available in Clutch, they can be used like standard gift cards, and Clutch can manage their usage going forward.
Payment Completion
Upon completion of payment, the remaining balance shows as zero. Place the order to complete the transaction and you'll be shown the order confirmation screen.
Known Issues & Restrictions
Managing and issuing store credit is only possible when integrating with NetSuite. See NetSuite Integration Guide.
