  3. You have the ability to split the payment among multiple types of payments. If the customer has a bill for $25.00 and would like to put $15.00 on the card and pay $10 in cash, enter $10.00 as the other amount in the Cash field, and then the updated $15.00 total will appear next to Card. Then swipe and complete the payment.
