Accepting payments in your shop: cash, card, bank transfer and QR
· 5 min read · SHENZEE Tech
Most Sri Lankan shops take several payment types in one day. The trick is to record each one correctly, so your end-of-day totals match your drawer and your bank.
Cash
Count the drawer at the start and the end of the day. A POS with a cash register session shows what should be in the drawer, so differences are easy to spot.
Card
Record the card sale with the slip or approval number. At the end of the day, match your card total with the bank's settlement report.
Bank transfer and QR
Record the reference number. For QR payments, keep your QR code on the payment screen so customers can scan it, then enter the reference when the money arrives.
Pay-later options
Services like Koko and PayHere add other ways for customers to pay. In Nexsora, your cashier records these payments with their reference, and the platform admin switches on each method for your shop.
Credit and part payments
Customers who pay later or in parts should be recorded against their name with a due balance, never as a plain cash sale. That way you can remind them and see who owes what.
A daily routine
- Close the register and count the cash.
- Check each payment type total against the money received.
- Look at the dues report and follow up on late payments.
