Split Payments (What Petboost Doesn't Do)

User Question: "Can a client split one invoice across two cards, or pay half cash and half card?"

Quick Version: No. One invoice takes one payment. Collect the full amount with one method, or take a second payment as a separate sale.


What You're Trying to Do

Split one appointment invoice across:

  • Two cards

  • Card plus cash

  • Card plus bank transfer

  • Two people paying part each


What Petboost Does

Each appointment invoice is paid once, with one method:

  • Card on file

  • SMS payment link

  • Card reader

  • Cash

  • Bank transfer

  • Other EFTPOS

Package credit applied to an appointment is not a split tender. The remaining balance is still one payment.


What to Do Instead

  • Take the full amount on one method (card, cash, transfer, or EFTPOS)

  • If they want to pay part now and part later, collect what you have today as a separate sale on the customer profile, then charge the appointment invoice for the rest when you are ready

  • If two owners are paying, invoice one appointment to one owner. Take the other person's share as a sale, or book two appointments

Do not look for a "split payment" or "split tender" button. It is not in the product.
