Create a Payment Method
- Open Settings -> Core Settings.
- Select the Payments tab.
- Find Payment Modes and click New.
- Enter the Method name exactly as it should appear to cashiers and reports.
- Save the method.
- Open New Sale, click PAY and confirm the method appears in the tender drawer.
- Run one test sale and confirm the method appears in Sales History and close reports.
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.
Paid, Unpaid and Customer Credit
The tender drawer can mark a sale as paid or unpaid. Use unpaid sales only when the shop has a customer account and collection policy.

| Partially paid | Customer pays part now and owes balance. | Check customer balance and next collection action. |
| Unpaid | Sale is allowed on account. | Review Outstanding Customers and owner approval. |
| Split paid | Multiple methods pay the same bill. | Reconcile every method total separately. |
