How to create a custom payment method

If you take payment through something that isn't on Jarbas's list — a meal voucher, a cheque, a specific app — you can register it and use it on your orders.

Where to create it

Configurations › Payment Options › Payment Methods

Tap Add new payment type. Only admin users have access.

What to fill in

Name — how you want to see it when taking payment. E.g. Meal voucher, Cheque, Bank slip.

Description — optional, useful to tell similar methods apart.

Active — leave it on so the method shows up at payment time.

Tap Save.

How to use it on a sale

On the payment screen, first select Other, then pick the method you created.

Custom methods are grouped under Other — that's how Jarbas keeps the main list short.

The methods Jarbas already includes

Cash, Pix, Transfer, Credit, Debit and Payment Link are fixed: they can't be renamed, disabled or deleted. If you tap one, the app warns "This is a default payment type and cannot be edited."

Disabling or deleting

  • To disable, use the toggle next to the method in the list. It disappears from the payment options, while older orders stay as they are.
  • To delete, open the method and tap the bin icon.

If you just want to stop using it, disabling is the safer choice.
