# Custom Payment Options

Add your own payment options, such as Venmo, bank transfer or room charge, and see them as buttons in the POS and in your daily totals.

Besides Cash, Credit Card and Other, you can add your own payment options for each location: Venmo, Zelle, bank transfer, room charge, a QR payment, or anything else your business accepts.

## Add a custom payment option

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

### Open the location's payment settings

Go to **Settings → Locations → (your location) → Payments & Tax Rates** and find the accepted payment methods.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Add the option

Add a new option, give it a name (for example **Venmo**) and pick an icon from the list.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

### Arrange and save

Rename, reorder or remove options as needed, then save.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

{% hint style="info" %}
Each location can have up to **6** custom payment options.
{% endhint %}

## Take a payment with a custom option

Custom options appear as their own buttons in the POS payment row, next to **Cash**, **Credit Card** and **Other**. Select one and complete the sale as usual.

The sale is recorded under **Other**, tagged with the option you chose. Your existing totals and reports keep working the same way.

## Where custom options show up

| Place                       | What you see                                                                         |
| --------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Receipt**                 | The option used for each payment, for example *Other (Venmo)*.                       |
| **Dashboard daily summary** | The **Other** total broken down by option. Untagged amounts show as **Unspecified**. |
| **Printed daily report**    | The same per-option breakdown.                                                       |
