Tender Type: Bank Transfer

Bank Transfer is a different form of legal tender in the Aptimyz system
Use Bank Transfer if your customer has pre-paid for their goods or has arranged a bank transfer.
In extreme cases if the internet should fail - the connection between Aptimyz and Clover may also fail. Clover will complete the Sale (this is shown by a Credit Card receipt being printed from the Clover system), but if Aptimyz fails to receive the confirmation code from Clover, you may find it useful to repeat the sale but use Checkout > Bank Transfer as the tender type. This will prevent the customer being charged twice on their card, and will balance both the till and the sales data in Aptimyz.

Tender Type: Add Invoice to Account

Credit Account customers

At Checkout,  select customer, add the items by scanning or entering

From Checkout, select “Add Invoice to Account”.

This will add the invoice to the customer’s credit account, increasing their debt to your business, whilst still applying the sale to the VAT report and other sales analysis reports.
