Tender types
This topic describes how to configure tender types. You must define a tender type for every payment method the store accepts (such as cash, check, debit card, credit card, voucher, etc).
Click Setup.
Expand Financial.
Click Tender Types.
Do one of the following:
To add a new currency, click New.
To edit an existing currency, select it and click Edit.
To copy an existing currency, select it and click Copy. You must enter a new Description and Code, but all other values are copied.
Enter information about the tender type.
Description
The name of the tender type, e.g., Cash, Visa, MasterCard, Debit Card.
Tender Code
A code that identifies the tender type, e.g., CA, VI, MC, DC.
Tender Type
The tender type, e.g., Cash, Credit Card, Debit Card.
Currency
Select the applicable currency for your store. Select Default Currency to use the currency defined in your Windows operating system.
Tender Type is inactive
Select this option if the tender type is no longer in use in your store. If you make a tender type inactive, cashiers can no longer select it at the register, including for returns. However, it will still be available for reports and journaled receipts. If you no longer use a tender type, the best practice is to make it inactive instead of deleting it. If you delete a tender type it breaks the relationship with historical transactions in your store database.
Maximum Amount
Enter the maximum amount, e.g., $1,000, of the tender type that the store will accept. If you set a maximum amount, cashiers will not be able to tender sales with tender amounts higher than the limit specified. Leave the Maximum Amount as $0.00 if you do not want to set a limit.
Denominations
Enter denominations if you plan to use the change Calculator on the Tender screen at the POS.
Display Order
The order that the tender types display on the POS, with 1 at the top.
Scan Code
If you have a programmable keyboard, enter a keyboard shortcut key for the tender type, e.g., C for Cash. Leave the Scan Code as 0 if you do not use this feature.
Round to Value
The amount to which you want Store Manager and POS to round up the value of this tender type, e.g., if pennies are not used in your region but nickels are, enter $0.05. Note: The United States Mint ceased production of the 1 cent coin (the penny) on November 12, 2025. Refer to the Penny FAQ for US retailers for more information about this change, and how to configure RMH to round amounts to the nearest 5 cents (nickel).
Prevent Cashier overtendering
Select this option to prevent cashiers from tendering amounts higher than the transaction total. This option is automatically selected (and cannot be deselected) for the Credit Card and Debit Card tender types. It is also a best practice to prevent cashier overtendering for the Account and Food Stamp tender types.
POP Cash Drawer
Select this option if you want POS to open the cash drawer whenever this tender type is used.
Require signature
Select this option if you require a customer signature for this tender type, either on the credit card signature line on the receipt or via a signature capture device.
Allow multiple entries
Select this option if you want to permit cashiers to accept partial payment of the transaction total on two or more of the same tender type, e.g., splitting the transaction amount between two Visa cards.
Click Save And Close.
