# Payments

When making or updating an order, taking payments is simple, fast and straightforward!

### Cash

To make a payment with cash:

1. Tap 'Pay cash'
2. Confirm if you want to pay the full amount or split the payment
3. If you choose to pay the full amount, the system will ask you to input the cash amount given
4. If the cash given is more than the amount due, the change amount will be displayed
5. If you choose to split the payment, the system will ask you to input the amount of the split paymnet, then it will ask you to input the cash amount given
6. If the cash given is more than the amount paid, the change amount will be displayed
7. Continue to make payments until the order is fully paid

### Card

To make a payment with card:

1. Tap 'Pay card'
2. Confirm if you want to pay the full amount or split the payment
3. If you choose to pay the full amount, the system will process the amount due
4. If you are using integrated payments, the amount will be sent to your chosen card machine and the result of the payment will be sent back to the system for easy reporting
5. If you are not using integrated payments, the payment is finalised and the transaction is recorded
6. If you choose to split the payment, the system will ask you to input the amount of the split paymnet, then it will process the specified amount
7. Continue to make payments until the order is fully paid

## 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://docs.accentpos.com/features/orders/payments.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.
