How quick payment works

Quick payment allows you to enter an amount and take payment without creating a full sale or adding items from your catalogue. Because the payment isn’t linked to specific services or products, it’s recorded as a manual payment and may affect reporting accuracy, making it less easy to understand your sales.

For a fast way to collect payment while having a full record and accurate reporting, use the Pay now button.

Take a quick payment

  1. From the main menu on the left of your screen, go to Calendar.
  2. Click on the Add button in the calendar toolbar, then select Quick payment.

  6. Click on the Pay now button at the bottom to process the client's payment and complete the sale.
  1. From the main menu at the bottom of your screen, tap on the Plus icon, then select Quick payment.
  2. In the pop-up, enter the amount you want to charge the client, then select the Continue to payment button. 
  3. Select a payment from the list of options. 
  4. Tap on the Pay now button at the bottom to process the client's payment and complete the sale.

Once the payment is processed, the sale is recorded as a manual payment without being attached to an item. A receipt is also generated, which you can share the receipt with the client by email or print.
