Two Ways to Pay

Take part of a sale on one payment method and the rest on another.

Step-by-step walkthrough ~2 min read Companion to the 1:38 video

It happens every day at the counter. A customer gets to the total and asks, "Can I put some of this on a check and pay the rest in cash?" With Rundoo, the answer is always yes, and it rings up as one sale on one receipt. This is called a split payment, and once you have done it once you will reach for it without thinking.

Where it lives

Meet the Split payment button

You ring the sale up exactly like any other. When you click Sale at the bottom right, the payment panel slides in with your tender methods. Up in the top-right corner of that panel is the Split payment button. That is the whole trick, so once you spot it there you are already most of the way home.

The payment panel. Split payment sits at the top right; the tender methods run down the middle, and the blue Charge button is your commit.

Do this

Split a sale, step by step
  1. Ring up the sale as normal

    Add your items to the cart and attach a customer if you need one. Say the total comes to $120.85. When you are ready to take payment, click Sale at the bottom right to open the payment panel.

  2. Click Split payment

    Look to the top-right corner of the payment panel and click Split payment. Rundoo now walks you through the sale one tender at a time. Clicked it by accident? You can back out, so no harm done.

  3. Take the first part

    Type the amount for the first tender into the amount box, say 100 on a check. Select Check as the method, then enter the Check number in the field that appears. Click the blue Charge button to lock in that first part.

  4. Take the rest on the second tender

    Rundoo confirms the first payment and shows you exactly what is left, no calculator on the side of the register needed. With $20.85 remaining, type 20.85 in the amount box, select Cash, and click Charge to finish the sale.

  5. Check the receipt

    That is it. The completed sale and the receipt both spell out each tender on its own line, Check $100.00 and Cash $20.85, so your records stay straight without any extra work from you.
