Does Cibus work with Stripe Terminal?

Yes. POS terminals can pair with assigned Stripe Terminal readers for card-present chip, contactless and supported wallet payments. Payment amounts are derived from the order on the server, and retry requests use idempotency keys.

Can one bill be split across multiple payment methods?

Yes. A single order can carry multiple payment rows, including card-present, cash, wallet and voucher rows. Reconciliation checks those rows against the amount due.

Can customers receive digital receipts?

Yes. Digital receipts can be issued by email after payment, attached to the order and reissued later when needed.

Can restaurants print thermal receipts?

Yes. When a supported thermal printer is configured, receipts can be printed and reprinted from the order record.

Are tips and service charges recorded?

Yes. Tips can be recorded per payment, while service charges follow the restaurant's configured rules. Both can feed shift and end-of-day reporting.

Do payments connect to shift and end-of-day reporting?

Yes. Recorded payment rows feed shift records and end-of-day reports for payment mix, cash variance review, tips, refunds, voids, voucher redemptions and issued receipts.

Can vouchers and promo codes be redeemed at checkout?

Yes. Vouchers can be recorded as a payment row, while configured promo codes can be applied as a discount before payment. Redemption records remain linked to the order.

How does Cibus support payment review and audit trails?

Payment and order records retain status and transaction history. Supported refund and void workflows can also capture staff attribution, approval and reasons for manager review.

Why this matters

Payments become messy when they live outside the order.

Restaurants do not just need to take payment. They need to know which order was paid, which staff member handled it, which method was used, which tips and service charges applied, which receipts were issued and whether the shift reconciled at close. Cibus keeps the payment trail attached to the original order.

Stripe & terminal integrity

Stripe payments connected to the order record.

Cibus uses Stripe for online and card-present payment flows. POS terminals can pair with assigned Stripe Terminal readers. Server-derived amounts check the payment request against the order, while idempotency keys identify repeated requests.

Split payments

One bill can have many payment rows.

Groups can combine multiple payment methods. A table might split by diner, split equally, combine cash and card, use a voucher for part of the bill or settle some amount at the counter. Cibus keeps each payment row linked to the same order.

Not a terminal beside the till. A payment record that reconciles.

Connected platform

Payments connect the service surfaces that take an order.

Payments & Receipts connects POS, QR Order & Pay, Storefront, Admin and Staff Mobile workflows. Payment and receipt records can also inform Reach and AI Insights workflows.

POS

Take cash, card-present, split, voucher and tip payments at the till.

QR Order & Pay

Let diners pay from their phone and receive digital receipts after checkout.

Storefront

Online orders use the same connected payment and receipt layer.

Admin Dashboard

Managers review payments, refunds, shifts and end-of-day reconciliation.

Staff Mobile App

Servers and cashiers handle payments and receipts from a phone in service.

Reach

Voucher and promo redemption records remain linked to the order.

AI Insights

Payment, sales and channel data can feed operational analysis.

In service

A mixed-payment table, one connected record.

A table orders through a mix of staff-entered and QR-originated items. At checkout, the bill is split across card-present, wallet, cash and a voucher. Cibus attaches each recorded payment row to the order, issues receipts, updates the shift and makes the record visible in Admin for end-of-day review.

The cashier opens the payment drawer, builds split rows, captures the card-present payment through the paired reader, records cash for one diner and applies a voucher for another. Each recorded row stays attached to the same order record.
