How do I collect a payment split across several methods?

Collect the same amount with several payment methods: select them in the checkout tunnel, split the amount due, then collect each leg one after another.

Updated on July 3, 2026

From the checkout tunnel, select a second payment method: the split entry appears automatically. Each method gets its own amount field, which redistributes to always total the amount due. Once the total is reached, confirm: the plan is locked, then each leg is collected one after another.

Split the amount due

In the payment panel, tap a first method, then a second (for example card and cash). An amount field appears for each. Change one of the amounts and the other adjusts automatically so the total always matches what the client owes. You can lock a method to a specific amount: the others redistribute around it, untouched.

Concrete example: on a 60 EUR bill, your client pays 30 EUR by card and 30 EUR in cash. Adjust one of the two amounts, the other follows.

Order of the legs

Card-type methods (card, terminal, contactless, QR code) always come first. Cash and other methods follow. This avoids confirming a sale while the card payment, which can take longer to confirm, is still pending.

Collect each leg

Once the plan is locked, the tunnel runs through the methods one by one. A marker like "1 of 2", "2 of 2" shows where you are. Each successful leg shows its result with a button to move on to the next payment, until the amount due is fully covered.

Edge cases

A leg fails partway through. The amount already collected on previous legs stays acquired, it's never cancelled. You can retry the same method or cover the rest another way. See What to do when a payment fails for details.

You made a mistake in the split before locking. As long as the plan isn't locked, you can freely adjust the amounts or remove a method.

The last cent doesn't land exactly. The last unlocked method automatically absorbs the rounding cent, you don't need to correct anything by hand.

Every checkout, split or not, creates a numbered, tamper-proof fiscal receipt as required by French NF525 rules at confirmation. Sweb handles that traceability for you, there's nothing for you to calculate or archive.
