Payment Labels Are Not Bank Settlement

A Posnic payment method records how the cashier classified the payment. It does not contact every external bank, wallet, card terminal or QR provider by itself.

  • Cash must reconcile with the physical drawer.
  • Card, QR, wallet or bank transfer labels must reconcile with the provider's settlement report.
  • Do not create too many similar payment labels, because close becomes harder.
  • Use clear names such as Cash, Card Terminal, UPI, Bank Transfer or Store Credit according to the shop process.

Enable Split Payment

Split Payment allows one sale to be paid through more than one method. It is useful, but it adds close-time responsibility.

  • Turn on Split Payment in Settings -> Core Settings -> Payments.
  • Train cashiers to enter the correct amount per method.
  • The total of split amounts must match the sale amount.
  • At close, compare each payment label with the matching physical or provider evidence.
