Customer bounced a check? Here’s how to handle it in the system:
- In the POS, load the customer.
- Press Enter to go to the Payment page.
- In the Customer Balance area, input the amount of the check as a negative (ex: -100) in the Pay Amount field. This will indicate on the customer’s account that they now owe this money.
- In the Check tender, input the amount again as a negative. Enter the Check Number of the original check, so you can track what happened to it.
- Complete the transaction.
Optional: Bounced Check Fee
To charge a fee for bounced checks:
- Create an item in the system called Bounced Check Fee.
- Add the Bounced Check Fee item to the sale (with this customer) and complete the transaction with their payment for the bounced check.
