Hey @Mumtaz 

On your POS App, you can go into the Menu/More, Settings, Payment, and then you can move Cash into Payment Types to enable it.

Here's the support document with more info:

Let me know if you're still having trouble after this.

Welcome to the Community, @Mumtaz - 

@pessosices has given you the best instructions to get the cash option available. 

Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Hello Kassi, I wonder if you can help me.

I do have all payment methods "on", but still while creating an invoice the cash option doesn't show

in my payment methods.

I can record it as cash if I don't do it through invoice, but when the invoice is required I can't, I have

to create the invoice and record it as paid by card.

Thank you in advance.

Hey there, @jochasa - 

I want to get some more information on what you're seeing when you're trying to check out with cash on your invoices. 

Are you using the Point of Sale app, your Virtual Terminal, or another app?

Also, could you provide a screenshot of what you're seeing? 

I will keep an eye out for your reply👀.

I am using the Virtual Terminal on my Laptop. 

Unfortunately I get a message here that I do not have permission to upload images on this screen. Nevertheless these are the options I have:

Payment Options 

__________________________________________________________

Payment Method

• Credit or debit card ...
• ACH Transfer ...
• Afterpay ...
• Giftcard ...

__________________________________________________________

Tipping ...

Thank you for your time and help!

Thank you for sending this over, @jochasa. 

Whenever you're logged in to your Dashboard, are you logged in as the owner or an employee? 

No matter if you do the "quick charge" or "itemized sale" in the Virtual Terminal - you will see these options available to check out. 

Could you give me the steps you're using to check out with the Virtual Terminal?

Hey there, @Millspoolcare - 

Could you give me some more information about the missing check and cash payment options? Are you seeing these options on your app or Dashboard? 

I will keep an eye out for your reply👀.
