Payment Methods
Configure which methods are available under Billing & Payments → In-Person Payments:
- Cash - Record physical cash. No Stripe required.
- Stripe Terminal - Charge a card using a connected reader. Funds deposit automatically to your bank. Requires Stripe Connect and a configured Terminal reader.
- External POS - Process payment on your own card terminal (Square, SumUp, iZettle, etc.), then mark it as paid here. Studioloop records it for bookkeeping and reports. Label is customisable under Billing & Payments.
Stripe Terminal in POS
When Stripe Terminal is selected, the POS discovers internet-connected readers registered to that location. Select a reader, and the client taps or inserts their card on the device to pay.
Readers must be:
- Online (shown as green in Hardware → Terminal Readers)
- Registered to the same location as the POS session
Tips
Tip prompts appear after the payment method is selected. You can configure tip presets and distribution under Billing & Payments → Tip Settings.
