Tab

This payment type is set up differently than most of the others. It is a configuration that is similar to credit. The difference is that a pre-authorized amount is put on hold on the customer’s credit card. But that pre-authorized amount can be adjusted when the end customer is ready to close the tab. If the end customer chooses either a different method of payment or the splitting of the order, the original pre-authorized amount will be voided, but it will take 3-5 business days for the pre-auth to be returned to the end customer’s card. This is a setting that development needs to activate and once it has been activated, the customer has three ways to open the tab. One way is to swipe the credit card on the open order screen and a window will open, asking the user if they want to open a tab or close. The user then selects tab. It can also be done from the table layout screen by swiping the card and selecting tab. The last way is the “Tab” payment option on the pay screen. The user has the ability to change the name of the tab by selecting the entire order and changing the name.
