Payment Options
You'll notice multiple payment options for store merchandise: cash, check, credit cards, and any other payment methods you accept for your business. The payment method drop-down list is created under the Gear (icon) > Settings > General > Drop-down List Editor (left menu) > Transaction > Payment Method.
