Payment methods at the till: cash, card and instant (IPS QR)
Customers want to pay how it suits them. Which payment methods the register tracks, why IPS QR is on the rise, and how to know each evening exactly what came in by which channel.
One customer pulls out cash, another offers a card, a third wants to scan a QR with their phone. Customers want to pay how it suits them, and the register must track each method and record it correctly on the receipt. The more methods you support, the fewer sales you lose to „I’ve no change" or „my card won’t work".
Methods the register tracks
A fiscal receipt records the payment method, and the most common are: cash, payment card, instant payment (IPS QR), cheque or transfer, and a voucher (gift card). A good register even allows a combination — part by card, part in cash — and records it all neatly on the same receipt.
Why IPS QR is on the rise
IPS QR is instant payment: the customer scans a QR code and the money lands in your account immediately, usually without the fees card payments carry. For thin margins that’s a big deal — you don’t share every receipt with a card scheme, and for the customer it’s fast and cashless. That’s why more shops offer it as the first choice.
A breakdown by payment method
At the end of the day you want to know how much came in by cash, by card and by instant. That breakdown by payment method helps with handing over the takings, preparing change and checking everything adds up. Without it, end of shift is guesswork.
Tezga eKasa tracks every payment method, supports IPS QR, and gives you a clear breakdown each evening — how much came in by which channel, at a glance.
