  • Card — a keyed/tapped Stripe payment via the on-screen card form.
  • Cash — enter the amount handed to you; the page shows Change due if it's more than the balance.
  • Check — enter the amount and the check number in the reference field.
  • Gift certificate — enter the code; the available balance is applied toward the total (only shown if the venue has gift certificates turned on).
  • Other — venue-admin and super-admin only. Box Office does not see this option.
  1. Pick the tender type for the full amount.

  2. For Cash: type the amount received and click Add — it's confirmed immediately, no separate confirmation step.

  3. For Check: type the amount and the check number, then click Add.

  4. For Card: enter the card details in the card form and click Charge.

A card charge must be at least $0.50 — Stripe won't process anything smaller. If the remaining balance after other tenders is under $0.50, move a little more onto cash or check so the card slice clears the minimum.

A confirmation email goes to the patron or guest's email address — never to you as the staff member. If there's no email on file, nothing is sent automatically (see Completing a sale for what to do instead).

For a patron paying with more than one method, see Splitting payment across multiple tenders.
