# Payment Methods
## Data Settings - Basic
When you select the **region**, the default **payment methods** for that region are automatically generated.
Here is the list of default payment methods.
You can add a **new payment method** by pressing the  button, or **edit/delete** a payment method by long pressing it.
Here you can enter the data for a new payment method:
* ***Code:*** By default, the system generates a sequential code, which can be changed as long as it is unique.
* ***Name:*** Here you must enter the name of the payment method. If you have more languages for the texts, option (image) will be enabled to enter the name in these languages.
* ***Type:*** There are several types of payment methods:
* ***Cash:*** Used to collect Cash transactions. When returning change in any payment method, it is always deducted from the Cash.
* ***Check:*** Used to collect the operations by means of Check/Promissory note...
* **Card:** Used to charge transactions by credit/debit card. If a payment gateway linked to the application has been defined, when using this payment method, the collection device will be activated automatically.
* ***Pending:*** Used to finalize transactions that have been assigned to a customer in the application database and who does not pay on the spot. The amount of the debt is stored and can be paid later through the Cash Movements.
* ***Restaurant Ticket:*** In some countries it is possible to pay by means of meal coupons that can have a fixed or variable amount. Several keys could be created with prefixed amounts.
* ***Store Credit:*** There is the possibility to issue a store credit instead of cash back when goods are returned. This store credit can be used to pay for future sales.
* ***Tip:*** Allows you to record the tip received on a particular sale.

* ***Status:*** Here we select if this payment method is Active or Inactive.

* ***Open Cash Drawer:*** Here we select if the cash drawer should be opened when using this payment method.
* ***Value:*** This option is only valid for payment methods of the Restaurant Ticket type. They are used to create different payment methods with a prefixed amount. To accept variable values, we must enter: 1.00.
* ***Image:*** Here we can select the image that best identifies this payment method.
You can add an **image** using the  button. You are given several options for image selection:
Choose an image from the **WEB catalog**, selecting the classification that best fits. This option appears when you have been authenticated in FactoryCLOUD and assigned the store.
Choose a **color** that will fill the entire button. The name will appear centered on the button.
Use your own images. Use the **Android Gallery** to search for images on your terminal or on an external device connected to it. It is recommended to choose images of a small size.
If your device has a **Camera**, you can take a picture.
