If you will accept cash payments in various Currencies in your restaurants, you should use the Payment Currencies setting in the Point of Sales module to list the Currencies that you accept. There is no need to use this setting if you only accept cash payments in your home Currency.

To open the Payment Currencies setting, first ensure you are in the Point of Sales module. Then, if you are using Windows or macOS, click the [Settings] button in the Navigation Centre or use the Ctrl-S/⌘-S keyboard shortcuts and then double-click 'Payment Currencies' in the 'Settings' list. If you are using iOS or Android, select 'Settings' from the Tools menu (with 'wrench' icon) and tap 'Payment Currencies' in the 'Settings' list. The window illustrated below will open.

In the Currencies field, list the Currencies that you will accept when receiving cash payments. Separate the Currencies using commas. You can select a Currency using 'Paste Special', then type the comma, then open 'Paste Special' again to choose the next Currency. There is no need to include your home Currency, but you can do so if you wish.

Similarly, list the Currencies that waiters and bar staff will be able to use when giving change in the Change in Currencies field. Again, separate the Currencies using commas, and again there is no need to include your home Currency.

The Change in Currencies field isn't used at the time of writing.

After entering your Payment Currencies, click the [Save] button (Windows/macOS) or tap √ (iOS/Android) to save the changes. To close the window without saving changes, click the close box (Windows/macOS) or tap < (iOS/Android).

The Currencies that you list here will be used by the "Cash" button in Bar Tabs and POS Invoices. When you click or touch this button, a window will open in which you can receive payment and give change in the specified Currencies:

The Currencies will be listed in the order in which you have entered them in the Payment Currencies setting.

To be able to receive cash payments in Bar Tabs and Point of Sales Invoices, you must specify that your home Currency is Base Currency 1 (in the Base Currency setting in the System module). As already mentioned, there is no need to include your home Currency in the Payment Currencies setting as well. One reason to do so will be because you need your home Currency to be listed first in the 'Cash Payment' window as illustrated above. If you do not include your home Currency in the Payment Currencies setting, it will be listed last in the 'Cash Payment' window.
