Split Payments in Phorest Go

If you attempt to split a payment between two merchant accounts using a stored card on Phorest Go, the transaction will be fully settled to the merchant account related to the first item on the ticket.

For example; If you have a ticket where the first service was provided by a self-employed staff member with their own merchant account, and the second service was provided by an employed staff member, all funds will be transferred to the self employed staff member’s merchant account.


PhorestPay Device

When storing and using a client's credit card to pay for an item, your Phorest system will look for the default PhorestPay device. If you have multiple PhorestPay devices please ensure you are using the default device assigned.

The PhorestPay device will prompt for a tip along this transaction process, which your client can select the amount they wish to leave. 

You can check the default device assigned to that Phorest system by going to Manager > Settings > Point Of Sale > Device > Credit Card Configuration

Note: Phorest does not store the card on the Phorest system but rather tokenizes the card, as the card details are stored on International Bancard's secure servers. This is fully PCI compliant.
