# Payment Screen
## Sales - Payment Screen
To end a sale you must select the payment method used. You have 2 options to end a sale:
* With the 
***QUICK PAYMENT*** button the sale will be closed directly as ***Cash*** or ***Credit Card***.
* With the 
***PAYMENT*** button you will access to another screen to choose among different options to end the sale.
##
In this screen the sale can be ended in different ways.
The **fastest** way is by choosing directly a payment function, such as **Cash** or **Credit Card**. The **due amount** will be assigned to the payment. Then you can end the transaction with the **Finish** function. To access this function, tap 
and, from the secondary menu, tap **Finish**.
Another way is by entering on the numeric keypad the amount and selecting **Payment**. The change will be calculated. Then you can end the transaction with the **Finish** function. To access this function, tap and, from the secondary menu, tap **Finish**.
There is also the option to use **more than one payment method** in the same sale. To do it you must enter the amount through the numeric keypad and then select the **first payment method**. As long as the due amount isn’t zero you can select **another payment method** to end the operation.
##
It is possible to end the sale by using **different currencies**. Tap the currency icon to display the available currencies.
The **due amount** will be converted to the **new currency**. When you pay with different currencies it is only allowed the **Cash payment**.
Once the **received amount** is entered, the **change** is always calculated in the **local currency**.
##
A **tip** can be added to the sale before finishing the transaction. It can be activated in the settings that an **automatic percentage** is applied as a **tip**. The other way is by entering an amount using the numeric keypad and then select the **Tip** payment function. This amount will be added to the **Payment amount**, then you can finish the sale with another payment method.
It also can be assigned the **Change as a Tip**. The payment amount is entered in a payment method and then the **Tip** function is used. You will be asked to confirm if you want to use the change as a tip and finish the sale.
##
You can also use **Store Credit coupons** as a payment. You have to enter the **coupon number** and then tap the Store Credit function. The **coupon value** will be taken and it will be assigned to the sale. If the coupon amount is lower than the **Amount Due** then you must finish the sale with another payment method.
You can issue **new Store Credit coupons** when the total of the sale is **negative** or you don’t want to return the **Change amount** in cash. Use the Store Credit function to finish the transaction and **issue a new Store Credit Coupon**.
##
There are some function buttons available at the bottom of the screen:
* ***SPLIT AMOUNT***
You can **divide the total amount of the sale** by the number of diners who wish to pay the bill. You can enter the number of divisions on the numeric keypad and the **Split Amount** button.
A wizard is displayed to select the way you want to perform the division: automatic or manual. In both cases you will see a line showing the **average amount to be paid for each person** and it is also **printed at the bottom** of the invoice.
***Automatic:*** The amount is divided equally among the number of guests. You can select the payment method to be used for each guest.
***Manual:*** You can manually enter the amount to be paid for each guest and the method of payment.

Then you can **select the items** that you want to separate. The **New receipt** will be created in the right side, the second tab, swipe to the left to view it.
Use the **Finish** function to apply the separation. To access this function, tap and, from the secondary menu, tap **Finish**.
