Record cash and card terminal payments

Transactions is your register. Record money you take at the desk, see today's totals by method and scroll through every transaction, whether it came in online, at the desk or from a wallet.

#Open the register

Open Payments → Transactions in the sidebar. Older links to /app/provider/cashbox open the same page.

From top to bottom you see:

1. Payments by provider: succeeded payments grouped by where they came from (Stripe, Montonio, Stebby, Wallet, Invoice, Cash, POS). Simulated payments on a test workspace show as Demo (simulated), never as Stripe or Montonio. Pick Last 7 days, Last 30 days or Last 90 days. If a period has more payments than can be counted at once, the panel says so and counts only the newest; pick a shorter period.
2. Four tiles for today: Today net, Payments, Refunds and Wallet activity (top-ups and wallet spending).
3. Today's reconciliation by method: today's total and count per payment method.
4. The transaction list, with a Method filter and the Record payment button above it.

#Record a desk payment

1. Click Record payment above the transaction list. A sheet opens.
2. Enter the Amount (EUR).
3. Choose the Method: Cash or POS card.
4. Optional: under Client (optional), search for the client and pick them. Any client of your business can be picked, with or without a Nola account. Leave Walk-in / none for anonymous sales.
5. Optional: add a Reference (optional), such as the receipt or terminal reference.
6. Click Record payment at the bottom of the sheet.

The sheet closes, and the payment appears in the list, with the client's name, and in today's totals right away. If it can't be recorded, the reason shows in the sheet.

#Top up a wallet at the desk

To turn cash or a card payment into wallet credit:

1. Click Record payment and fill in the amount and method.
2. Search for the client and pick them.
3. Tick Credit this amount to the client's wallet.
4. Click Record payment at the bottom of the sheet.

Nola records one wallet top-up, with the payment's method and reference, and adds the amount to the client's wallet. A client who has not signed up to Nola yet cannot get wallet credit: the sheet says so when you click Record payment. Record the payment without the tick, or ask them to sign up first. See Client wallets.

#Mark a booking paid at the desk

Record payment records money, but it does not link to a booking. To mark a specific booking paid in cash or by card, use Settle in the bookings list, on the booking's card or on Unpaid balances. That also adds the transaction here.

Membership payments land here too. Settling a membership charge at the desk (cash, card terminal or bank transfer), a matched bank transfer or e-invoice, and an online membership payment each add a payment with the plan's VAT, so Payments by provider and the list count the same money. Money paid back for a membership adds a refund. A charge paid from the prepaid balance shows as Paid from wallet. Membership payments taken before 3 November 2026 are only in Payments by provider.

#Read the transaction list

Only completed transactions count toward today's totals. Today net is payments plus wallet top-ups, minus refunds and wallet spending.

With a Method picked, an empty list names it, for example No Cash transactions. Choose All to see every transaction again.
