Add Tender Types

Learn how to add new tender types in Bravo, including configuring payment methods and customizing how your store accepts payments.

The ability to add Tender Types expands the usability of Bravo to accept and track unique types of tender the store may choose to accept.

How to Get It

You can add tender from System Configuration, through the Transaction Tab. (System Configuration -> Transactions -> Tenders).

Concerns & Considerations

When adding a new tender there are some things that should be considered. For some companies with more than one store, adding the tender in one store will add the tender to all stores. Tender types can be set to Active or Not Active. When a new tender is added, all stores will get this new tender, but it will not be automatically active. The new tender will need to be activated at each store that will use that tender type.

Once a tender has been added it cannot be removed. Make sure you have all of your information gathered and correct before adding the new tender.

Due to the nature of Checks, any custom tender under Tender Type Check will not be able to be returned/refunded . Any tender that is made under Tender Type Credit Card is allowed to be returned/refunded.

Below is a list of information required to setup a new tender.

Required:

  • Name or Description users will select in the Tender Screen after saving a transaction.
  • Type of tender this new tender will behave as. Options are Check or Credit Card.
  • GL IDs that will be used to track Cash On Hand and Bank Deposit actions. Click here to learn how to set up General Ledger accounts.
  • Know if you would like to allow employees to use Over Tender or tender more of this new tender than is required in order to produce change.
  • Minimum accepted amount and the maximum accepted amount.

Optional:

  • Accept for Pawn
  • Require Unit Count
  • Accept for Web Shipments

How to Start or Setup

Navigate to System Configuration -> Transaction tab -> Tenders Tab. 

Click on Edit, then click Add Tender.

Best Use and Steps

First gather all the information described in Concerns & Considerations. Make sure to double check the Required items to be sure they are correct before adding the new tender, as the new tender cannot be deleted.

Navigate to the tender configuration screen for your store. (System Configuration -> Transaction Tab -> Tenders Tab -> Edit -> Add Tender). Input all the information as described in Concerns & Considerations. Double check the information has been entered correctly. Save the changes.

This custom tender cannot be used when creating pawns/buys. You still have to use either Cash or Store Check.

Once tender has been added, it will need to be enabled for any store that will need to use it.

Using Custom Tender.

Your customer tender will appear in the tender screen under either Check or Credit Card, depending on how it was set up.

Select the tender and process the payment as usual. The transaction will post to the General Ledger account selected for the custom tender during set up.
