Choose how customers pay for online orders

Customers who order from your online menu can pay by card online through your own Stripe account, or choose to pay on collection. You pick the methods each location offers in Settings › Business Locations: edit the location and tick the payment methods in the Catalogue column. Card payments online need your Stripe keys in Business Settings on the Stripe tab. Methods such as cash record the order with nothing charged, and the customer pays when they collect.

  2. Open Business Locations. Go to Settings › Business Locations and click Edit on the location.
  3. Find the payment methods table. The table lists each payment method with a POS column and a Catalogue column.
  4. Tick online methods. In the Catalogue column, tick Stripe to take card payments online, and tick methods such as cash for pay on collection.
  5. Save. Save the location. Checkout on that location's menu now offers those methods.

How each method works

With Stripe, the customer sees Pay securely by card online and is sent to a secure payment page to finish paying. The money goes to your own Stripe account. Online card payments are charged in Canadian dollars.

With a pay-on-collection method, the order is placed with nothing charged, and staff take payment at the counter or the table as usual.

Good to know

If no method is ticked, checkout tells customers no payment method is set up and to contact you. Card processing fees are between you and Stripe. Online ordering and QR is an add-on module. The Catalogue QR item shows in the back office sidebar when your subscription includes it.

Can customers pay when they pick up?

Yes. Tick a method such as cash in the Catalogue column. The order is placed with nothing charged, and staff take payment when the customer collects.

Can each location offer different payment methods?
