## Entering the Method of Payment

### Cash

* If you need to adjust the amount the client is paying in cash, feel free to do so. Then, proceed to collect any other payments due or click **Finish**.

### Check

* Click the Amount field next to Check. The field will auto-fill with the total amount of the bill.
* We suggest entering the check number in the field provided for reporting/tracking purposes.
* If you need to adjust the amount the client is paying on a check, feel free to do so. Then, proceed to collect any other payments due or click **Finish**.

### Gift Card

* Enter the gift card code and click **Validate**. The amount remaining on the gift certificate will appear in red. Click on the red button and it will auto-fill in the Amount field.
* ***If the amount remaining on the gift card is more than the amount due:*** The total amount due on the ticket, *(including tip, if any),* will be deducted. The system will keep track of the remaining balance on the gift card.
* ***If the amount remaining on the gift card is less than the amount due:*** The entire amount remaining on the gift card will be applied to the ticket. The difference must be paid by another method.

### Credit or Debit Card

* Click the field next to the Brand of card being used, *(Visa, Mastercard, etc)*. The field will auto-fill with the total amount of the bill.
* If you need to adjust the amount the client is paying on their card, feel free to do so. Then, proceed to collect any other payments due or click **Finish**.

### House

* If the salon would like to waive part of the bill, or the entire bill for any reason. Using the House payment method will discount the transaction total for the client, but allow the employee(s) to still receive full commission.
* Click on the House field. The field will auto-fill with the total amount of the bill.
* If you need to adjust the House discount amount, feel free to do so. Then, proceed to collect any other payments due or click **Finish**.

After receiving all due payments and clicking **Finish**, you have the options to email a receipt, print a receipt, or both.

{% hint style="info" %}
If you give your employees their tips out of the cash drawer, *(and the setting is properly set in your* [*Business Settings*](/business-settings/business-settings.md)*)*, the Tip amount will be automatically deducted from the Cash.
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://support.rosysalonsoftware.com/tickets/checkout-collecting-a-payment-w-video.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
