Add your bank account, PayPal and cash on delivery

Every setting

At the top, a note says: "Add one or more bank accounts so customers can pay by bank transfer at checkout."

To add a bank account:

1. Tap Add bank account in the Bank accounts card. A form called New account opens under it.
2. Tap your bank: BML, MIB or Other.
3. If you tapped Other, type the bank's name in the Bank name box.
4. Type the name on the account in the Account name box.
5. Type the number in the Account number box.
6. Under Currency, leave MVR picked, unless it is a US dollar account.
7. Tap Add account. While it saves, the button says Saving….

The account now shows in the list. It is saved right away.

PayPal and cash are not saved right away. After you change PayPal ID (optional) or Cash on delivery, tap Save at the bottom of the sheet. Then the sheet closes.

Bank accounts

Under the title, it says "No bank accounts yet." or how many you have, like "2 accounts". Each account shows the bank, a small MVR or USD tag, the account name and the number.

When you have as many accounts as the app allows, Add bank account goes away.

Customers see

your account number at checkout, with a Copy button. If you have more than one way to pay, customers pick Bank transfer to see it. With more than one account, the first account in your list shows. Customers can tap another bank at the top. See How customers order from you.

BML, MIB or Other

These are the bank buttons in the form. BML is picked when you start. For any other bank, tap Other. A box called Bank name opens. It shows "e.g. SBI" in grey.

Customers see

the bank's name after your account name, like "Aisha Ibrahim, BML".

Account name

The name on your bank account, the same as your bank shows it.

Account number

Type the number from your bank. Use numbers. Spaces and dashes are fine. In the list, the app shows the number in groups of 4.

Currency

MVR is picked when you start. Tap USD for a US dollar account.

Until USD prices are on, tapping USD does nothing. Under it, the app says: "To add a USD account, first turn on USD prices in Settings." See Show prices in US dollars.

Customers only see a USD account while USD prices are on.

Edit and Remove

To change an account:

1. Tap Edit next to the account. The form opens. It is called Edit account.
2. Change what you need.
3. Tap Save account.

To remove an account:

1. Tap Remove next to the account. The app asks: "Remove the account ending 1234?"
2. Tap Remove again. To keep the account, tap Keep.

To close the form without changes, tap Cancel.

PayPal ID (optional)

This box is in the PayPal card. Type your PayPal email or your paypal.me link. Under the box, the app says: "Customers send money to this PayPal and attach a screenshot. PayPal takes a fee from what you receive."

To stop taking PayPal, clear the box. Then tap Save.

Customers see

a PayPal choice at checkout. It shows your PayPal ID with a Copy button, and the amount to send in US dollars. If you typed a paypal.me link, they also get an Open PayPal link. See How customers order from you.

To set your own dollar rate, see Show prices in US dollars.

Cash on delivery

This switch is at the bottom. Under it, the app says: "Turn this off to take bank transfer only."

When the switch is green, customers can pay cash. When it is grey, they must pay by bank transfer or PayPal when they order. You can turn it off only when you have a bank account or a PayPal ID.

Customers see

Cash on delivery at checkout. For pickup it says Cash when you collect. For dine⁠-⁠in it says Cash at the counter. When they pick cash on delivery, they see "Have MVR 250 ready. The rider may not carry change."

Customers see

in their basket, a line like "Pay by bank transfer or PayPal, or cash when it arrives." Your shop page also lists your ways to pay, like "Bank transfer (BML, MIB) · PayPal · Cash on delivery". The words change a little with your shop's look.

On the Feast look, a line under your ways to pay says "Pay at the door or send a transfer, chosen at checkout." When cash is off, it says "Pay when you place the order, then upload the transfer slip."

Some orders can never be paid in cash, even when this switch is on:

• air cargo. See Send orders by air cargo.
• digital items. See Sell digital items: codes, links and top⁠-⁠ups.
• pre⁠-⁠orders with a deposit. See Sell an item as a pre⁠-⁠order.

Your bank account and PayPal are also used when you:

• ask someone in your credit book to pay. Without a bank account or PayPal, the app says "Add a bank account or PayPal in Settings to send statements." See Ask someone to pay what they owe.
• send a pay link. See Send a pay link.
• take a transfer at the Counter (the POS tab). It shows the first account in your list. See Take cash, card, transfer or credit at the Counter.
