How to process an electronic transfer payment
If the customer paid using electronic transfer into your bank account, you can record it through WaiterMate.
- When it is time for the customer to pay, select the ‘Pay’ icon to go to the pay screen
- Select ‘Debit’ and click on ‘Internet Prepayment’
- Change the ‘Paid’ figure to the required amount by selecting the box and typing in the amount received. Select Save to finalise the payment.
Note: Debtors with a ‘$0’ balance are not automatically deleted. They also cannot be deleted from WaiterMate. To delete any debtors, firstly make sure the balance is ‘$0’ and then open OfficeMate and delete them from the debtor page.
