Manage payment methods
This is how you determine which payment methods are available in the POS app — from cash to debit card and SumUp to vouchers.
Standard payment methods
For each new restaurant, Servire applies six standard methods that are sufficient for most businesses:
-
Voucher — Redeem previously sold vouchers
-
Cash (marked as default) — Pre-selected at checkout
-
Debit Card — Classic debit card
-
SumUp — Card payment via SumUp reader or Tap-to-Pay
-
Credit Card — Visa, Mastercard, Amex, etc.
-
Invoice — Later payment terms for regular customers or B2B
The Bar method is standard in Germany and can neither be renamed nor deactivated — it is mandatory according to the German Cash Register Security Ordinance (KassenSichV).
Create a new payment method
Open Settings → Restaurant → Payment Methods and tap the + icon. Enter a name and decide whether the method is active. Inactive methods remain in the list but are not selectable in the POS app — useful for seasonal methods.
Our own methods for PayPal, Klarna, etc.
For payment services that are not directly integrated (PayPal, Klarna, BitPay), you create a separate method and enter the transaction manually. The transaction is then correctly included in the DATEV export and the cash book.
Sort order
In the overview, you can drag and drop the methods into your desired order. This order determines how the methods appear in the POS app during checkout—place the most frequently used method at the top for faster service.
Edit or delete method
Click the three-dot menu to the right of a method to rename it, toggle its active status, or delete it. The six default methods cannot be deleted—only deactivated.
For each payment method, you define a general ledger account number in the DATEV Export tab. This number determines where the sales are posted in the accounting system.
