Any sale can be settled across several tenders: charge part on one method and the payment step stays open with the new balance, ready for the next. If the client can't finish paying today, Save as unpaid completes the sale with the balance owing.
How do I split a payment?
Pick the first tender
Choose a payment method as normal. The amount field defaults to the full balance.
Lower the amount
Type the amount for this tender, or use the presets — Full, ½, and ⅓ of the balance. Halves and thirds round up on the first tender, so you never end the sale chasing a stray cent.
Charge it
After the charge, a toast shows the amount remaining — "Pick the next method." Collected tenders are listed under Payments on the cart.
Repeat until settled
Take the remainder on the next method. When the last payment lands, the sale closes itself and the receipt is ready.
Gift cards split naturally: the card's balance comes off and the rest stays owing. Cash can be over-tendered — enter what the client handed over and the Change due panel does the arithmetic.
When the client can't pay today
Save as unpaid in the cart footer completes the sale and leaves the balance owing.
- The sale is raised in full — stock is deducted, gift cards sold on it are issued, the linked appointment completes.
- The sale shows as Completed · balance due.
- Loyalty points and commission wait until the balance is actually collected.
Collecting the balance later
Find the sale
Open POS → History and set the status filter to Unpaid — each row shows the amount owed. Or open the sale from the client's profile.
Reopen it
Click the row — the sale reopens in the POS with a Collect payment button.
Take the payment
Any tender works, including sending a pay-by-link so the client settles from their phone.
Common questions
Can two people split a bill on two cards?
Yes — charge part on the first card via the external terminal, then the remainder on the second. Each charge is its own payment row on the receipt.
Does a tip have to go on one tender?
A tip rides on the card or cash tender that settles it. On visits paid by package, membership, or membership balance, the tip is excluded from the credit tender and collected by the following card or cash payment.
How do I refund a split sale?
Refunds are issued per payment — reopen the refund panel for each tender you're reversing. See Refunds and the cash drawer.
Is "Save as unpaid" the same as a draft?
No. A draft is an open cart you haven't finished building; an unpaid sale is complete and final, just not fully collected. Drafts sit on POS; unpaid sales sit in History under Unpaid.
