The payment methods in Revo XEF are the ways you can close (charge) an order.

Cash, card, and cancelled are default methods and cannot be deleted. The last one is used when a customer leaves without paying. They can be edited with the button .

2. Select Configuration / PAYMENT METHODS.

3. Click on +New.

    • Not allowed: Does not allow giving change. A message will appear indicating this.
      Useful for Cancelled or if you do not accept tips.

    • Convert to tip: Automatically converts the change to a tip.
      For example, configured in Cash, the change becomes a tip.

    • Convert to tip with confirmation: Converts the change to a tip after confirming it.
      A message will appear asking if you want to add it as a tip.



    • Convert to tip with cash drawer payout: Designed for card payments, the change becomes a tip and makes an automatic cash drawer payout.

      Available from Revo XEF version 4.4.2.

    • As a cash drawer payout: Indicates the change to be given, and you must make a manual cash drawer payout.
      For example, if you are paid in cash and the tip goes into the tip jar.

    • As a cash drawer entry in the chosen payment method: The change becomes a cash drawer entry with the payment method used to close the order.
      For example, if you are paid with a restaurant voucher that does not allow giving change, the surplus becomes a cash drawer entry with Restaurant Voucher.
