Overview

Your customers can partially pay for a transaction at one time and pay for the rest at a later time, from the Split Payments screen. 

Requirements

• Can only be performed by Administrator, Manager, and Salesperson employee roles. 

• Freedom/Restaurant/OmniChannel customers can use credit cards as a partial payment option if the Credit/Debit POS Integration app was installed and the terminal was properly setup within the POS. 
• Debit Cards are only an option for partial payments if customers use signature debit cards, in which case Credit Card should be selected as the payment type. Exception: If a surcharge was added in the Merchant Fee tab of Store Settings, Signature Debit Card will be available as an option for partial payments.
• Cash discounts can only be applied to partial payments by users who do not have a fee added for non-cash transactions. To set up your cash discount program so that a fee is not added, please contact support@retailtime.com
• Loyalty points can only be earned after every payment in the order is charged, but loyalty rewards can be redeemed after any of the split payments in the order are charged. 

Note 1: Partial payments via credit and debit cards are not currently supported on Poynt devices. If you are using a Poynt, please request from your bank to disable partial payments from the device (or when partial payments with credit/debit are performed, the payment will go through but the rest of the order will be canceled).

Note 2: Partial payments cannot be performed for exchange transactions.
