With Manifold Pay connected under Settings > Payments, card charges run on the countertop terminal directly from the invoice.
- Open the invoice and go to Collect Payment.
- Choose "Manifold Pay" as the method and enter the amount (capped at the balance due). The button reads "Charge $X on terminal"; click it. If texted receipts are switched on in the Manifold Pay connection settings, a "Text the receipt to the customer" box appears first; tick it and confirm the mobile number if the customer wants one.
- The charge is pushed to the terminal and the button reads "Waiting for card...". The customer taps or inserts their card on the device.
- The result appears in place: the payment lands in Payment History as "Manifold Pay (VISA ●●●●1234)" and the invoice summary updates. A declined or timed-out charge records nothing. A charge that covers the full balance posts the invoice automatically, unless a work order is still open or an off-catalog line is unresolved.
If the customer signs on the terminal, that signature is kept: the Payment History row shows it with "Signed at terminal", and it prints on the invoice in place of the signature line. Most sales have no signature, which is normal.
While the terminal is waiting you can click Cancel to withdraw the charge and return the terminal to its idle screen. The terminal's own card prompt gives up after about three minutes.
The terminal may add its own card surcharge on top of the amount you send, per your merchant agreement. That surcharge is collected and settled on the processor side; the amount recorded in Manifold is the amount you sent.
