# Payment Method Overview

A **payment method** is any way a customer can pay for an order. Common examples include cash, credit or debit cards, e-wallets, bank transfers, and gift cards. Your POS supports multiple payment types so checkout stays fast and flexible.

**You collect payments into your own accounts.** Fuze Store does not act as a payment processor for your sales. When a customer pays by card, e-wallet, or bank transfer, the money goes to **your own** terminal or account — you simply pick the matching method in the app so the sale is recorded correctly. The payment methods you set up here are labels for **how** you got paid, used for receipts and reporting.

## Why Set Up Multiple Payment Methods

- **Convenience.** Let customers choose how they want to pay.
- **Faster checkout.** Accept cards, cash, or digital payments to keep lines moving.
- **More sales.** Attract more customers by offering their preferred payment option.
- **Easy tracking.** Your POS records every payment so you always know where revenue comes from.
